Gardeners say ‘incredible value’ £20 wire-free lights give a ‘lovely ambience’

The Solpex Solar Fence Lights are an excellent solar outdoor lighting upgrade for less than £20

The right lighting can completely transform a garden, creating the feel of a luxury holiday retreat right on the doorstep. Requiring no professional electrician to install, these Solpex Solar Fence Lights are a brilliant option for anyone looking for a swift lighting upgrade for under £20.

For a limited period, Amazon has reduced a set of 12 lights to £18.99, emitting a warm, white glow. Described as ‘incredible quality for the price’ by customers, the lights can be used to improve visibility after dark or to give the garden an atmospheric appearance.

The Solpex lights feature an automatic mode, meaning there’s no need to manually switch them on or off – they illuminate at dusk and switch off at dawn. On bright days, the lights take roughly four to five hours to fully charge, and buyers confirm that ‘even on days when it’s not been super sunny, they’ve held their charge’.

‘Easy to install’ without the hassle of dealing with wires, the lights are ideal for illuminating stairs, paths, gardens and decks, as well as front doors, driveways, garages and exterior walls. The solar-powered deck lights can be fitted anywhere they can be secured with screws.

Customer feedback for the Solpex lights is overwhelmingly favourable, with more than 3,000 buyers awarding the product an overall rating of 4.2 out of five. One satisfied customer who left a five-star review said: “These lights have been great for our balcony.

“Very discreet and stylish, and they give off a nice warm bright light. I would highly recommend it for balcony and garden use. Much safer and sleeker than other outdoor lights I’ve had in the past.”

There are plenty of alternative solar-powered garden lighting options available, including the Scalloped 10 LED Indoor Outdoor Solar String Lights for £18 at Dunelm. Shoppers describe them as ‘bright and very stylish’, as well as being ‘easy to put together’, reports Wales Online.

These Flickering Flame Solar Torches (£23.39 down from £39.99 at Lights4Fun) create the illusion of genuine firelight. The ‘very attractive’ design looks lovely and warming, according to customer reviews.

Back to the Solpex Solar Fence Lights, one reviewer wrote: “Great solar lights with a strong, bright light that basically lasts all night long. Colour and appearance are very warm and really relaxing at night, and more importantly, they don’t look ugly in the day when they are not on, which for me is a bonus.”

However, a handful of buyers have raised concerns about inconsistent quality, with one dissatisfied customer complaining: “I bought a set of 8, but now only 6 of them are working. Very disappointed. Potentially, if all were working, they would look great.”

One satisfied customer put any concerns to rest, sharing: “Easy to install and gives my dark evening garden a lovely ambience. I have also installed electrical garden lighting, which I rarely switch on, as these solar lights give adequate lighting.

“These solar panels come with double-sided stickers, raw plugs and screws. I simply screwed these directly on top of my fence via the ready-made holes. They stay bright well into the early hours. I repurchased these after having them a couple of years to replace my old ones. Good value for money in my opinion.”
