Non-mains powered outdoor lighting

flogen

I'm wondering if there are any decent non-mains (battery or solar) outdoor lights out there that people could recommend.

They'd be for decoration more than illumination, but a lot of what I've seen in the past wouldn't seem to give off enough light even for that purpose.

I'm hoping that I've only seen cheap jobs, or things have improved in recent years, but maybe someone here could tell me either way!

Ideally I'd like a few single lights (lanterns or the like) and maybe some fairy lights too.

Depending on how much light you want, these are the best I have ever seen.

You have to shop around on Amazon as sometimes there are delivery restrictions.

With three houses in our family we have twenty of these fitted (in gardens, on gates,over doors )and all work very well

I use them as security lights and they are great, when activated they stay on for 20 secs. you can use them as Dusk till Dawn on either low or high settings but they will run out of energy if not fully charged during the day.

Not lantern style but they do work.

I have some of these and find them great. They are more flood lights than decorative.

I considered getting garden lights like the above before but reconsidered when I read that they can be damaging to wildlife. Link to one article on the subject.
