Question about outdoor solar lights

[jayden_h183]

Hi there,

I'm interested in getting outdoor solar lights along my garden fence.

My wife likes these:

If anyone has outdoor solar powdered lights, what do you think of them?

Do they last long or should I choose mains powered ones?

Thanks.

The reality is that these types of lights need the most power in the winter when solar production will be at the least. AND if they are in shaded areas the actual effectiveness of the charging will be even lower

I would go looking for inline reviews to hear what people actually think

Ok if you can get a set with a solar panel on extra lead so you can position it independent of lights for best position.

In my experience they dont last long, the light output is poor and they are a waste of space. Fit some proper LV outdoor lighting.

How many would she like at sixty quid a pop?

Do you have a large garden?

In my view a light should highlight a feature in the garden, and not the garden itself - less is more, y'know.

3 lights or 4 lights max.

I would say our garden is average sized.

I agree, less is more!

average sized: by what measure?
My garden is 150' long by 50' wide, which is average for the neighbourhood.

If you like doing diy, you could wire up your own. Large solar panel, large lead acid 12v battery, and whatever 12v dc lights you want

That's a pretty big garden.
