Product Information

You may also want floor spotlights to highlight a path or to shine light on a certain corner, and pillar lantern lights, or lamp posts, are ideal for lighting up the whole garden. This lighting option is beautiful and will create an ample amount of lighting, and provide your garden with an enchanted feeling. We added these fairy lights to our test in 2022 and they survived one of the coldest winters in recent years in our test garden.

Each year we add more new lights to our test, so some haven't been out in the cold and rain for as long as others; they have all been tested through at least one winter, though. Don't light everything in sight,' warns Darren Staniforth, technical expert at regulatory body NICEIC (National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting).

The solar charger is small and not that powerful, so they'll stay on for only a few hours at most in the depths of winter. You should also know that despite some of the images online suggesting otherwise, there aren't a lot of lights in each pack, as you can see in the image below. Need to know 30 lights, 7m long (1m to the first light, then 7m), claimed battery life of 8-14 hours, eight light settings, warm white light. They are easy to install and come with a transformer that plugs into a standard outdoor power outlet.

To help you plan your scheme, Darren suggests highlighting the most attractive features and providing task lighting where you need it, such as over a dining table or close to entrances and exits to different areas of the garden. To create the electrical circuit, armoured cables are run around the garden with 'spurs' providing outlets for individual lights.Or, if you want to explore more options for outdoor fairy lights then there is no better place than Pinterest!

But since then, we've tested more and they've proved less durable, with wiring that can easily be snapped or pulled from the solar charger.

Garden lighting ideas: Solar lights are available in pretty much every type of lighting design, including fairy lights, festoon lights, stake lights, lanterns, path lights and wall lights.

Finally, choose LED garden lights rather than halogen as they are highly energy efficient and the life of the lamp is much longer. Position them in the places where you'll be spending time on a summer's evening, and hang solar powered lights where you can see them from inside the house – these will come into their own when it's too cold to go outside.Fairy lights are an excellent way of lighting up your garden, so we have put together a complete guide to help you out. Fairy lights will create a cosy ambience that will provide your garden with a sense of enchantment, which will impress your guests. The cords should be rated for the same voltage as the lights, and be of adequate length to reach your power source.
