When we moved house last time, after spending a lot of time and effort making the garden nice, and installing patio doors so we could see more of it, my husband and I decided to invest in some outdoor garden lights which we could dot around the garden to make it more of a feature, and more attractive in general in the evenings, whether we were outside in the garden or in the house looking outside at it. We wanted flexibility with the lights, so didn't want to have to have any wires or anything like that put in in order to run the lights. We wanted them to be as cheap as possible to run and also look nice, so when my husband found a set of these Stainless Steel ...  Read the complete review

I've always enjoyed seeing these solar lights in other peoples gardens at night - like little static ghosts sitting there randomly around the garden. So when we were landscaping our back garden and wanted to provide some light to light the pathway up, these seemed to be ideal for the job. I thought solar - nil running costs, environmentally friendly, look good - can't go wrong. There seem to be a variety of different makes of these on the market at the moment. But dealing with the ones I have, I bought 2 sets of 4 from Amazon about a year ago for £18 each set, although looking on Amazon now they have reduced down to £12.80 for a set of 4. They were made ...  Read the complete review

Our house and garden faces south so at this or indeed any time of year we get a lot of free heat through a total of 5 full length windows/patio doors and several smaller windows. It makes it lovely and airy and bright. We'd love to have solar panels on the roof to make extra use of the sun we get, but it would be too much of an eyesore in a pretty area and we have nowhere in the garden that we can hide them. Our one concession to solar power then is a total of 12 of these solar lights mounted on plastic silver spikes. Strategically located around the garden, they do look attractive when they come on at dusk and we have sufficient light coming from ...  Read the complete review

Last summer we were just adding the finishing touches to our new garden that we had spent months trying to complete. We have a nice sized garden with a combination of grass and patio area. Through the middle of the grass we have a path leading up to the end of the garden. On one side of this path we had dug a border going all the way along. The idea was to plant some flowers down this edge but on doing this we didn't feel it looked completed. The garden looked as though it had something missing but I had no idea what else to put in as we had almost every kind of flower and tree that would be easy to maintain. That was another important factor about our ...  Read the complete review

I bought a set of these for our garden last summer and they are lovely. I like to sit in our garden in the evenings in the summer and appreciate the last of the days sunshine and when it begins to grow dark I like it when there are little lights. When I saw these on Amazon I couldn't resist them. In a pack you get 4 and they cost about £15 which I thought was a good price to pay seeing as you do not pay any electricity or anything as they are solar powered. They are stainless steel so very practical and hard wearing for being outside. They have a spike on the end which you put in your garden. I have these in a flower bed and they fit in nicely in ...  Read the complete review
