Attach them to your fence and let the sun do the rest

Solar fence lights are a quick and easy way to add ambience to your garden. Perfect for lighting up your patio, gazebo or driveway, they can either be attached via hooks or simply hung around various spots outside.

As a renewable source of light, you won't have to worry about replacing batteries or hiding unsightly power cables, since solar lights run off the power of the sun. Thanks to minimal maintenance, you can simply hang them up and relax. Families with young children will also be pleased to hear that solar lighting is safe to use, so you won't need to worry about power trips, loose batteries or overheating.

Solar lights work by absorbing sunlight during the day. "The solar panel soaks up the sun's rays to charge the rechargeable battery inside," explains Emily Kelsey, PR Assistant, at Lights4Fun. "And when the battery has enough charge and the daylight sensor detects dusk, the solar lights will begin to shine". Genius!

The only downfall to solar lights is that they are reliant on good weather, which means on cloudier days they may not shine as bright. The less sunlight the solar panel absorbs, the less charge the battery receives, causing the lights to illuminate for a shorter period of time.

Emily suggests putting your solar lights away during the winter and bringing them back out in spring, when the weather warms up and the days begin to get longer and sunnier. This will prolong the life of your lights so they will once again illuminate your garden in the springtime.
