Amazon shoppers gush over solar lights that add a 'rustic charm' to your garden
'Highly durable and weather-resistant, it's perfect for any outdoor setting—I absolutely love it!'
As the gorgeous weather continues, many people are taking any opportunity they can to be out in the sunshine. With some people planning garden parties with their friends and family, it is important to make sure that any outdoor space is equipped to keep the party going even when it gets dark.
For those who are wanting to invest in some garden lights to help brighten up their space, now is the best time to start shopping as Amazon is hosting their Home and Garden Week shopping event. This means all your garden essentials - from furniture to lawnmowers - will be receiving decent discounts this week.
One popular item in the sale that Amazon shoppers are gushing over is the KagoLing Solar Lights. Normally retailing for £35.99, the online retailer is now offering two "rustic" lights for only £30.59 in a limited time deal. A four pack is also available, but these are staying at their retail price of £61.99.
These solar lanterns are designed with handmade rattan, which gives the lights a natural style and added decorative effect. The rattan also makes the lights more translucent, creating a soft and warm atmosphere in your garden.
Each of the lights come with a solar panel and a built-in sensor to soak up as much light as possible. An added bonus is that shoppers won't need to manually switch the lights on and off as the lanterns are able to automatically turn on and off according to the ambient light. This means the lights will avoid wasting power during the day.
The "charming" lights are also IP65 waterproof, meaning they will continue to work as normal even if left in rainy or humid environments. The lanterns are also versatile in their use. They are lightweight enough that they can easily be hung from trees or porches, or placed on a table or the ground.
Another set of lights reduced in Amazon's sale are the KOOPER Solar Lights. This four pack usually retails for £29.99, but shoppers can now buy them for £23.99 after a 20 per cent discount. Unlike the lanterns, these lights are stuck into the ground and can be used to form a bright walkway.
Argos is also selling the Habitat Solar Rattan Lantern for those who were loving the rustic design. However, the retailer is selling the lanterns individually for £18, so if shoppers wanted to buy two they would need to spend £36.
However, many Amazon shoppers have been left in awe of the KagoLing Solar Lights, which has earned a 4.6 rating from over 1,200 shoppers. Many reviewers have praised the lights for the "cozy glow", and one shopper said that the lights still efficiently charge on cloudy days.
One shopper said: "The is a stunning addition to my garden! Its handmade rattan design is both elegant and lightweight, adding a rustic charm to my outdoor space.
"The solar-powered feature works flawlessly, automatically lighting up at dusk and charging efficiently even on cloudy days. Highly durable and weather-resistant, it's perfect for any outdoor setting—I absolutely love it!"
Another happy customer went on to write: "These rattan lanterns are so charming! They give off such a warm, cozy glow at night, and I love that they turn on by themselves.
"They seem really well-made and have held up great in the rain. Super easy to hang anywhere and adds a lovely natural touch to my garden. Definitely recommend for some beautiful, hassle-free outdoor lighting."
However, some shoppers ran into a few issues with the solar lights, as one person wrote: "Fantastic looking but after 2 days of bright sunlight they only lasted 1 and a half hours. Returned as either faulty or poor design."
Another shopper also grumbled: "Its alot of money for two tiny lights. The brightness is not going great compared to my other solar lights so its a no for me with this price."
Despite this, a five-star reviewer gushed over the lights, adding: "We love this pair of solar lights. They give a really pretty warm white light with a vintage feel. The plastic material seems good quality. They are lightweight and easily hang from a tree and look lovely in the evening - the light lasts well into the night. We are very pleased with them."
A fourth delighted shopper also said: "Absolutely love these! Perfect addition to my garden and very high quality i was pleasantly surprised how bright they were. I will be buying more as they look lovely in pairs around my garden. Would highly recommend for quality. Great buy."
