The Solar Light Bulbs will be in stores tomorrow and are the perfect buy for the garden.
Not only will they give your fence an instant update, but they'll also come in handy during the evenings.
Costing just £3.99 each, the bulb comes with a crocodile clip so it can be hung around the garden.
The bulbs come in two different shapes and have 20 firefly LED lights inside to add a whimsical touch.
It also comes with a flat base for use as a table lantern if you don't want to hang it.
Of course, the lights are solar-powered so you won't have to worry about getting batteries for the lamp.
Aldi bosses say: "Bring colour into your outdoor space with this Solar Iridescent Lightbulb."
It's part of Aldi's wider push to offer low-cost garden essentials this season, with the budget supermarket regularly selling out of its Specialbuys aimed at outdoor living.
Like with all Specialbuy items from the store it will only be available while stock lasts.
So if you want to get your hands on the bulb, you'd best head to your local store tomorrow to stock up.

The budget-friendly retailer is also launching a budget-friendly gadget this weekend that promises to keep bugs and pests at bay throughout the warmer months.
Available in stores across the UK from Sunday, June 8, the Zero In Bug Zapper Lantern is priced at just £7.99 — and it's already catching the attention of bargain hunters.
The lantern kills nuisance flies and mosquitoes on contact, helping to create a bug-free zone ideal for BBQs, camping trips or even indoor use.
It's designed for versatility, you can hang it up or stand it on any surface, and it works best in low-light conditions.
The gadget also features four built-in LED lights and comes complete with a USB rechargeable battery pack and charging cable, making it easy to power up for evening use.
Whether you're enjoying a quiet evening on the patio or hosting friends and family for a garden gathering, this simple tool could make all the difference.
Aldi says the lantern is 'perfect for outdoor living,' especially for those who want to enjoy summer evenings without being pestered by insects.

Our lives are being made hell by angry shoppers parking in our street… despite 500-space strong car park metres away
Residents say Costco shoppers leave them abused, blocked in, and fed up daily AT ALL COSTS Our lives are being made hell by angry shoppers parking in our street… despite 500-space strong car park metres away Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FURIOUS locals say their lives are being made a misery by Costco shoppers clogging up their street — even though there's a huge 500-space car park just metres away. Residents of Torrington Avenue in Coventry claim they're being sworn at and even threatened by customers using their road to park instead of the store's own car park. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Locals claim abuse from Coventry Costco customers over parking issue Credit: Google 3 Locals say the situation gets worse on weekends and during Costco's busiest hours Credit: Google They've now begged the council for a residents-only parking scheme, saying the situation is unbearable — especially for those with kids or mobility issues. In a petition to the council, they said: 'Customers regularly use the street to park which at peak times not only means that residents struggle to find space but have recently also been facing verbal abuse and threats from customers.' They added: 'The current parking situation is especially an issue for those with small children and limited mobility as having to park further away constantly is a challenge. "Costco has over 500 spaces which is more than ample to meet demand, and there is no reason why customers and staff need to use the street at the expense of residents.' Locals say the situation gets worse on weekends and during Costco's busiest hours. Some have even resorted to putting up cones and signs in a desperate attempt to keep spaces outside their homes clear. One resident, who didn't want to be named, said: 'It's chaos some days. "You get people blocking driveways and shouting abuse when you ask them to move. "It's just not right when there's a perfectly good car park sitting almost empty.' Despite the outcry, Coventry City Council looks set to reject the request. Officials say parking levels in the area simply don't meet the threshold needed for action. A similar bid for restrictions was made last year, also covering Torrington Avenue between the A45 and Eastcotes. That too was knocked back after surveys showed enough spaces were still available. A council report explained: 'The parking survey conducted in response to that petition showed that the section of Torrington Avenue highlighted did not meet the parking availability criterion set out in the Council's Residents' Parking Policy (less than 40 per cent of spaces available during the daytime).' A follow-up check on Thursday 3 April 2025 reached the same conclusion — with 54 per cent of spaces free, well above the required threshold. The report concluded: 'As the recent parking survey shows that the number of parking spaces available during the daytime (54 per cent) still exceeds the criterion for consideration for a residents' parking scheme, the Cabinet Member is recommended to decline the request for a residents' parking scheme on Torrington Avenue between Eastcotes and the A45.' The final decision rests with Councillor Patricia Hetherton, the cabinet member for city services, who will make the call at a meeting on Tuesday, June 11. Residents say they fear things will only get worse if action isn't taken soon. Some have even started discussions about installing private barriers or applying for dropped kerbs to stop people using their space. Another local added: 'We understand people want to save a bit of time by parking on the road, but it's not fair on us who live here. "We just want to be able to park near our homes without having to deal with arguments or walk down the street with kids and shopping.' Despite the council's findings, residents say they'll keep fighting. They're urging others in the area to speak out and hope that pressure from the community might still sway the decision. The Sun has reached out to both Costco and Coventry City Council.

Major disruption warning as Scots set for six weeks of bus chaos from today
Stagecoach drivers have voted to strike daily for up to six weeks in a dispute over pay COMMUTER CHAOS Major disruption warning as Scots set for six weeks of bus chaos from today Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THOUSANDS of Scots are facing commuter chaos for up to SIX WEEKS as bus services are axed over strike action. Around 430 Stagecoach bus drivers are going on all-out strike from today (June 9) in a dispute over pay. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 A spokesperson for Stagecoach said the strike action was "regrettable" Credit: Reuters Drivers, backed by union Unite The Union, previously rejected a four percent pay rise offer outright by 98 percent, because they were being asked to work longer hours, take longer unpaid breaks and potentially lose up to one week's annual leave. As a result commuters are being told to brace themselves for six weeks of continuous action starting on June 9 and lasting until July 21. Travellers based in and around Ayrshire will be affected as the action involves staff from depots in Ayr, Ardrossan, Arran and Kilmarnock, servicing passengers across bus routes across Ayrshire, Lanarkshire and Glasgow. The bus depots in Dumfries and Galloway are not involved the strike action. The union said the current pay offer is "unacceptable" and claimed it would leave the drivers among the poorest paid across Stagecoach's UK operations. Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: 'Stagecoach West Scotland is taking our members for a ride because they are profitable company. "The pay offer on the table leaves them the poorest paid drivers across Stagecoach's UK operations. "That is simply unacceptable. Unite will back our drivers all the way in their fight for better jobs, pay and conditions.' A spokesperson for Stagecoach said the strike action was "regrettable". They said: "Unite the Union has confirmed plans to take industrial action on Friday 6 June and from Monday 9 June, daily for up to 6 weeks. As a result, there will be disruptions to our bus services on these days. Man charged over fans' street rammy after Aberdeen-Celtic Scottish Cup final "Industrial action will take place over driver pay for our employees based at depots in Ayr, Ardrossan, Arran, and Kilmarnock. "Regrettably, the industrial action will disrupt our services and inconvenience our customers. As we play a crucial role in helping people stay connected with their communities, we plan to operate a limited service with the drivers available to us. "We're working hard to minimise the impact of this disruption, but unfortunately, the limited services we're running will affect customers travelling in and around Ayrshire. "We're very sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding."

Cheapest UK supermarket for May 2025 could save shoppers £48 on 82 essentials
The latest Which? comparison has found the cheapest supermarket for a basket of 81 essential items. Getting in the weekly groceries has become fairly expensive over the years. Which is exactly why many households often look for ways to save money. For this reason, Which? runs a monthly price comparison across eight of the biggest supermarkets across the UK, with the latest showing how shoppers can save over £48 in total. For the fifth month in a row, the consumer watchdog's analysis has found that Aldi is once again the most affordable supermarket, charging just £135.48 for a basket of 82 branded and non-branded essentials. It means that the budget German discounter has taken the crown for every single month this year, following on from its major win in 2024 where it was found to be the cheapest supermarket for the whole year. By direct comparison, premium chain Waitrose was once again found to be the most expensive option, with the same basket of items coming in at £184.03 - meaning Aldi shoppers are saving 36 percent and £48.55. However, it is worth noting that, while Aldi held onto its coveted title as the cheapest supermarket, its fellow budget German rival Lidl was hot on its heels, with just 31p more for Plus members (£135.79) and 34p more for regular shoppers (£135.82.) Out of the traditional supermarkets, the May 2025 Which? comparison found that Asda was offering the most affordable prices, coming fourth place with its own basket of 82 items costing £149.94. To emphasise Aldi's savings, it was discovered that loyalty schemes from many major supermarkets were still more expensive, as Tesco Clubcard users were being charged £150.26, while regular customers were being charged £152.35. Meanwhile, Sainsbury's was charging £151.82 for the same 81 items for Nectar members and £155.59 for those not signed up to its loyalty scheme. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Out of the traditional supermarkets, Morrisons was still more expensive, even with a More Card. Those signed up to its loyalty scheme were charged £155.76, while those without would be charged £156.71. It is worth mentioning that the Which? analysis also covers a much larger shopping list of 198 items, although Aldi and Lidl are not included because they do not offer the same availability of branded items. Similar to previous months, Asda once again held onto its crown as the most affordable option for the bigger shop, charging shoppers £485.79. Meanwhile, Waitrose was also the most expensive for this shop, with its total coming in at £559.02. Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, said: 'Which? analysis demonstrates Aldi's determination to provide its customers with quality, affordable groceries as an essential need for the long term. 'We are proud to retain this position of cheapest supermarket for an incredible nineteenth month, allowing our shoppers to save their money for other life essentials.' Full list of prices for a smaller shop of 82 items Aldi - £135.48 Lidl with Lidl Plus - £135.79 Lidl - £135.82 Asda - £149.94 Tesco with Clubcard - £150.26 Sainsbury's with Nectar - £151.82 Tesco - £152.35 Sainsbury's - £155.59 Morrisons with More - £155.76 Morrisons - £156.71 Ocado - £168.48 Waitrose - £184.03 Full list of prices for a larger shop of 198 items Asda - £485.79 Tesco with Clubcard - £496.59 Sainsbury's with Nectar - £498.72 Morrisons with More - £512.26 Morrisons - £517.69 Tesco - £531.95 Ocado - £533.62 Sainsbury's - £537.81 Waitrose - £559.02
