Best Solar Lights for Outdoor Use in the UK

Another obvious advantage of this bright solar panel light is that it can work in 3 different lighting modes.

In Medium light mode, the unit charges throughout the day and then automatically turns on medium light at night.

In Dim light sensor mode, it uses just 30 lights to constantly emit dim light in the darkness. But once the motion is detected, it switches on all the 102 lights for about 17-20 seconds. After that, the bright light is replaced by dim light again (if there is no motion).

The last thing we could not skip is the powerful sensor this solar spotlight utilizes. It uses a unique 120-degree angle sensor that is capable of detecting the slightest movements in the range within 11 meters. It's worth mentioning that the full battery charge ensures up to 600 detection cycles per night. Hence, you can have piece of mind knowing that your path will always be illuminated at any point at nighttime.

Lantern design is simple and requires very low maintenance. All you may need to do is occasionally replace the parts, being worn out during use. All these parts are neatly arranged inside upper detachable lantern tops, where you will also find a solar panel, a 1.2V Ni-Mh 600 mAh battery, and a microcircuit with a light-emitting diode. So once you pull the top off the lantern, you'll get access to the lantern core. The advantage of using the Lights4fun set is that neither of the lights requires battery replacement; once they accumulate enough energy during the day, they will produce light for the next 6 hours. To save battery charge, lanterns come with a toggle allowing you to control light consumption during the night. Thus, if you don't need the lanterns to work throughout the whole night, you can turn them off manually.

With the set of lights like this one, you can always enhance their look. Thus, if you plan to throw a party or you're just in a mood to add more colours to the gloominess of everyday life, you can place some colourful pieces of paper or foil inside the lantern tops and see how the light changes and transforms. Even though it might lose some brightness, you will surely be delighted by its many new tints.

If compared to the previous model from the series of Bailun solar spotlights, this light now boasts double brightness and can light up quite a big territory. The peculiar feature of this light is that it tends to change colours throughout the night, starting from glowing blue, then changing to red, then green, and eventually lighting soft white. This all looks incredibly beautiful, especially when it's pitch-dark outside. Besides, the color brightness can be adjusted from low to high level, depending on the time of day or weather.

Owing to unusual spotlight design, you can use it to light up almost any object in your yard. Thus, if you've got some ornamented or potted trees scattered along your pathway, you can enhance their look by sticking Bailun lights right next to them, slightly angled. By doing so, you will not only make them look spectacular, you will also be able to spill mild and soft illumination around all the adjacent territory making your yard a much cosier and more welcoming place to be.

Unlike cheap solar lights, this one requires a reliable wall installation that is pretty straightforward and quick. You simply need to punch a hole on the wall, then insert the supplied plastic anchor into it, and mount the unit with screws (also included in the box). Of course, it might ruin the integrity of your wall a bit, but this way of installation is the most reliable and secure. The ideal mounting height makes 2 meters. The unit has a 120° wide-angle motion sensor that instantly detects motion from 3 to 8 meters. No thief will be able to stay unnoticed!

Depending on your actual needs, you can choose one of three motion-activated modes - High light sensor mode, Dim light sensor mode, or Medium light stay-on mode. On sensor settings, the light would trigger only when the sensor detects motion and it will last for 30 seconds approximately to brighten your way home or protect your home from thieves and some pests. For selecting the required lighting mode setting, you simply need to depress the light switch.

All things considered, if the convenient operation, bright LEDs, and stylish design are the things you need, this Mpow solar light might be the best option for you. Though it is not the tiniest model out there, it’s amazingly bright.

Aside from its ability to light two directions at a time, this light is also distinguished by a standalone solar panel that can be spaced from the lighting unit and placed somewhere at an elevated spot to accumulate more sun's rays during a day. The Solalite sensor security light doesn't look too eye-catchy and has very small size. It doesn't consume a lot of energy and yet it is capable of producing continuous lighting for up to 5 hours. The motion distance and lighting angle are adjustable within the range of 5 meters and around 120 degrees accordingly.

The controls of the light allow you to adjust sensor sensitivity and a lighting delay time. Thus, you can set the amount of time during which you need the light on after it detects a motion. This time can be adjusted within the range from 20 to 60 seconds. The same goes for the sensor sensitivity. Using the same settings, you can adjust it to control a smaller or bigger area, depending on the size of the plot you want to keep lit.
