Best Selling Solar Garden Lights

Those of you who have read my other posts on this site already know why solar garden lights are a must have for any home landscape lighting project.  Outdoor solar lights have huge benefits over more traditional garden lights.  Some of those benefits include:

• Ease of installation – Installing solar lights in your garden usually takes only a few minutes, and requires few, if any, tools
• Lack of wires – Most models are completely wireless.  Those that do have wires only have one wire leading from the light to the solar panel.
• No maintenance – Solar lights are set-and-forget technology.  The LEDs are intended to last the life of the product.  The most you will ever have to do is wipe the panels clean from time to time.
• Low cost – Although these fixtures are a little more expensive than more traditional garden lights, they cost absolutely nothing to run, so they pay for themselves.
• Aesthetically pleasing – Solar garden lights are absolutely beautiful.  They come in more styles and colors than you could possibly imagine.  If you can’t find a solar lighting fixture that you like, you are just not looking.
• Eco-friendly – They use the power of the sun, which environmental experts agree is one of the fastest growing “green technologies” in the world.

There are, of course, many more advantages, but I think you get the idea.  The fact is that there are so many different options out there, that it can be a little tough to figure out which ones are good and which are not.  I thought I would make this a little easier for you, by pointing out some of the most popular models.  I personally love Amazon.com because of the fact that they are not afraid to post honest customer reviews.  Every product that I will mention below has a minimum of 4 out of 5 stars and are the most popular solar garden lights that they sell.

Click on any of the pictures below for more info and read the customer reviews.

Color-Changing Glass Ball Fixture – These are solar globe lights.  They come in mosaic and color changing options, and are great for use as garden accent lights.  The LEDs are designed for around 100,000 hours of use.

Moonrays 91249 Solar Powered Plastic Post Cap Lamp Light – Solar post lights are becoming more and more popular these days.  This light is designed to fit over a lamp post, where it is secured by a couple of screws.  They are not extremely bright, but will definitely help you find your driveway, and are great accent pieces.

Malibu Solar Flood Landscape Lights with Remote Panel – These flood lights are meant to cast light on remote objects to “highlight” areas of your home or garden.  They come with a remote solar panel that allows you to place the lights out of site, if you wish.  This makes them extremely versatile for a variety of applications.  They come in a 3-pack.

Wild Grass Solar Garden Lights – These little accent lights are terrific.  They look kind of goofy in the picture, but there are so many ways to use them to really add beauty to your garden.  Imagine, if you would, an area of underbrush in your landscaping.  Now imagine that underbrush lit from within.  Because of the little “tentacles” it can cause a very unique and beautiful effect.

Westinghouse Crackle Glass Solar Garden Light Set – These solar accent lights are very similar to the Moonrays glass ball lights above.  They are also a bit more expensive.  Westinghouse, however, is one of the most widely known brands of solar lights on the market today.  This is no mistake, as their lights are known for being of excellent quality.
