I’ve reviewed some of the solar garden lights online based on style and price, but today I want to focus only onwhat have been the top garden lighting options as rated by others. Let’s begin.
The Tricod GL97 Solar Lights are so good they are currently sold out at OverStock.com. Reviewers loved these and gave them a 4.2 out of 5. Easy to install and they retain solar power very well. One reviewer said they would come on at sunset (7 pm) and stay lighted until 6:30 am. With no wiring and a sleek, unassuming design these look like a winner for only $24.99.
Another set of highly rated garden lights can be found at EarthTechProducts.com. Named simply “Bright Solar Lights”, these are stainless steel and were said to be very heavy duty by one happy customer. Features include the Crystalline Solar Cel power, the jumbo size, and the fact it lights up to 20 feet. These are usually priced at $65 but the garden lights are on sale for $54.89. They last up to 12 hours when fully charged and come in a set of 2. The lamps come installed with extremely bright Natural White LEDs.
Yet another winner from EarthTechProducts was the Cypress Metal Solar Garden Light. These have the standard features you come to expect from quality solar powered outdoor lighting, but are super stylish in addition to their functionality. They come preassembled and can be installed in seconds. These are $39.99. The only negative is I think only one comes per package.
The Sohodecor Steel Solar Landscape Lights at Amazon were rated a very solid 4.5 of 5. These come in a package of 12 and the LED lighting was said to be pretty good. If you’re looking for the brightest possible lights, you may want another set, but overall these got the job done according to 6 buyers. They were out of stock so no price on these.
The Westinghouse Inwood II Solar Lights Set with copper finish were another mostly highly rated product. However, there were a few that gave it ratings of 3 or 2 because the lights didn’t hold a charge well.
The Sohodecor Decorative Garden Tulip Solar Lights 8 LED are $26.99 and were rated 5 stars by Amazon users. Buy these if your goal is decoration and your ok with a non-traditional object brightening up the backyard. I personally would be into more traditional outdoor lighting rather than flowers.
The Solar Fairy Lights – 96 LED Curtain were given 9/10 ratings and cost 40 pounds at BlinkingSun.co.uk. These aren’t actually for the garden. They are meant to be wrapped around a tree trunk, garage or other verticle surface area.
