After months of testing, they had no rust or obvious weathering, and have an excellent IP64 weatherproof rating. I thought it looked particularly good tied around the base of my pear tree, but its long wire makes it equally suitable for adding sparkle to a gazebo or parasol trim or perhaps woven through plant beds.

We also saw the value of running such a long test, as one of the four lights stopped working just as we were writing up our results. We also found that while they turned on every night, they could be a little slow to turn on after overcast days. This pack of 4 LED solar fence lights from Smart Solar are a cost effective solution for hassle-free illumination of your paths, steps as well as a garage or shed exteriors. Spotlights: These solar lights are used for lighting up a single area or highlighting trees and shrubs. The spotlights are straight when they arrive but they can be adjusted by loosening with a Philips head (cross head) screwdriver, and then tightened again to fix the angle.With our wide range of tents and accessories, you can embrace the cold, crisp winter air as you explore frozen landscapes and winter wonderlands. There may only be 10 bulbs on this solar string light, but I found them to be surprisingly powerful.

The stylish design has a brushed steel finish, and the fluted plastic gives off a lovely star shaped glow around each light.

The brightest on test at a whopping 250 lumens, we like the adjustable bulb and solar panel angles, as well as the effective stake for positioning it at the base of trees. This string of solar fairy lights has 100 white LEDs along 10 metres of wire, which means they’re ideal for running along fences, or using to decorate eating areas. They're just the thing to welcome guests arriving to your home in the evening - and they'll save you from having to fumble about in the dark for your door keys. They have a runtime of up to eight hours and in our test throughout the summer, they lasted through the night and right up until dawn.
