Solar Light Reviews

We’ve all made forays into the outdoor solar lighting world–I have several around my garden that shed light on paths and garden features. But I don’t take them very seriously. Recently, we decided to install a large outdoor light. This would need to provide substantial lighting on our driveway entrance.

We live in the country and it gets really dark at night. There is no ambient lighting and we would need green livingsomething reliable that would shed significant light on our driveway entrance. Of course we initially thought of an electric light, but running power down the driveway and using such a valuable natural resource didn’t seem right. I opted for a Deelat Solar Powered Landscape Light and holy guacamole does this thing work!

It’s so much brighter than any solar light I’ve bought before and it’s reliable. I could just screw it right in-no need for wiring or to hire an electrician. It costs me nothing to run and it works even when inclement weather causes a power outage.

The specs:

  • 100 lumens
  • size of 6.9″ x 6.9″ x 10.9″ (17.6 x 17.6 x 27.7 cm)
  • high-quality aluminum
  • IP65 waterproof rating
  • 1.6W , 5.5 V solar panel
  • FCC, CE, Rohs, BV, BSCI, BIS certifications

The warm light is welcoming and not adding anything to my monthly power bill makes me feel pretty warm and fuzzy too!

I have been using the Deelat solar powered landscape light for about a month now and I highly recommend it. It’s elegant, efficient and it does a great job. This product gets two thumbs up!

Techko Model STL-204

I love this lantern! Perfect for lighting your way on dark nights or you can hang it from a hook to light up the room. I don’t always like the hue of solar lights which can seem cold, but this one has an amber light option which is perfect for creating ambiance.

The Techko Solar Lantern has 2 different lighting options that shine through a clear panel for maximum visibility. Automatically charges during the day to provide up to 12 hours through the evening.

  • Lasts for up to 12 hours

This one is a great mobile option and I use it in the GreenMoxie cabin.
