Decorative Solar Lights

 

Starting with our favorite category (okay, we might be biased), decorative lights&#;especially solar ones &#; are great for your yard!  

Decorative solar lights are a perfect way to add personality and warmth to your yard without the hassle of wiring or extra energy costs. These lights not only highlight your favorite garden features&#;like flower beds, trees, or water fountains&#;but also create an inviting ambiance for evening gatherings or peaceful nights outdoors. Let's talk about a few of our favorites. For versatility, it's hard to look past the 2-in-1 Garden Globe Light. This light can be hung as a pendant or staked in the ground! With so many choices and ways to install it, it's hard to look past it. Next up is the Solar Crackle Jar. This one makes a great gift (cough cough, gifting season is among us!). Once again, it is perfect for hanging up or placing on a table for an elegant touch the next time you're dining or bbq'grilling outside. Another fan favorite is our Solar Party String Lights. They're perfect for pulling off an eye-catching look and a relaxing ambiance all at once and can be used for several different occasions. Another more recent addition to the Hoselink Solar family is the Solar Sphere Light. This is one of our more 'fun' lighting choices, offering several different color options; however, they can also be programmed to emit a uniform white glow for a more elevated look. Place these around a pool or entertaining area to instantly brighten the mood! Lastly, we have to mention the Decorative Round Solar Wall Light. These come in a two-pack and emit a stunning patterned effect on your chosen surface. You won't need to worry about leaving these outdoors either, thanks to their IP65 waterproof rating. They are also easily installed using our Outdoor Acrylic Double-Sided Tape.  

Functional and Security Solar Lights

 

Functional and security solar lighting is an excellent option for homeowners looking to improve safety and convenience around their property. These lights offer reliable illumination for dark corners, driveways, and entrances, helping to deter unwanted visitors and enhance visibility for you and your guests. Because they're solar-powered, they require no complicated wiring or increased electricity bills&#;just the sun's power. With motion-sensor options and automatic dusk-to-dawn features, you can ensure your home stays well-lit when needed while conserving energy when it's not. They're an eco-friendly, low-maintenance way to add security and peace of mind to your home. Let's start with the Solar Garden Spotlight. This light has an adjustable head so you can point it in whichever direction you choose, giving you the option to spotlight a plant or another feature in your garden. What's more, it has three different lighting options: One, the main light, provides a high beam in yellow. Two: Auxiliary light - wide illumination range in white color. 

And three, a main light and an auxiliary light, which has a high beam in yellow and a wide illumination range in white. Next on the functional list is the Wide Angle Solar Floodlight. With 120 degrees of light range, this light offers plenty of visibility and makes for an excellent choice. It also has offers motion sensor activation, which is essential for any security light. With 80LED, it's super bright and unmissable. Next up is the Adjustable Solar Security Light. This one is perfect if you're after some flexibility but still want the same benefits as our other functional/security lights. It detects motion from up to 16 feet away and is perfect if you want a smaller light that still packs a decent amount of brightness. Last but not least, we have the Modern Solar Wall Light. This light is great if you'd like an aesthetic option that will do the job you need. Light up a fence or a wall with a light that will automatically turn on at dusk and off at dawn.

Solar Path Lights

 

Solar path lights are a fantastic way to add beauty and functionality to your outdoor spaces. Whether it's lining your garden paths, walkways, or driveway, they provide a safe, well-lit route for you and your guests while enhancing the overall look of your yard. Since they're solar-powered, they charge throughout the day and automatically light up at dusk, saving energy and reducing utility bills. With no need for wiring or complicated installation, solar path lights can be placed wherever you need them most, offering a hassle-free, eco-friendly solution to keeping your pathways illuminated and safe. Hoselink offers three great path lighting options depending on the look you're after. If you're keen on something sleek and modern, we suggest the Solar Metal Path Bollard. These come in a two-pack and are a simple cylinder design that effortlessly complements your outdoor area. They include a ground stake to easily place in the ground along your path, garden bed or driveway. For another modern design, we suggest the Stainless Steel Solar Bollard. This one is a good choice if black is a bit too harsh in your garden setting, but you don't want to compromise on lighting. The Stainless Steel Bollard is also motion activated, with a dull constant glow changing to a brighter illumination when movement is detected. Lastly, if you want something a little more subtle to blend in, we would consider the Solar Garden Path Light. These lights are very streamlined and slim in design, making them a great, understated choice that will still do the job for you. This two-pack is also motion activated, with an adjustable height to suit your project.

Solar Lanterns

 

Solar lanterns are a versatile and stylish way to bring a warm, inviting glow to your outdoor spaces. Whether you hang them from trees or pergolas or place them on tables, decks, or patios, these lanterns add a cozy ambiance to any setting. Perfect for evening gatherings or simply creating a relaxing atmosphere in your garden, solar lanterns are powered by the sun, so there's no need to worry about cords or electrical outlets. They charge during the day and automatically light up at night, offering an eco-friendly, cost-effective lighting solution that's as functional as it is beautiful. Plus, their portability means you can quickly move them around to suit any occasion or space. Hoselink's Solar Lantern choices range from modern all the way to rustic, with some more festive choices in between, so let's discuss! If you're after a rustic look, check out the Moroccan Solar Lantern. This light emits a stunning patterned light and a warm glow. This light looks great anywhere in your garden or outdoor space, regardless of day or night! Next up is the Outdoor Table Lantern. While this light may appear simple, it has three different lighting settings (Constant warm dim light, constant cool dim light, and constant cool bright light). It also has a sturdy yet  refined design, perfect for lovers of the simple things. The last on our list is the Solar Camp Lantern! This one is designed for portability and packability for your time in the great outdoors. The design resembles a marshmallow and is squishy, too (fabulous if you have little ones and want to be mindful of things that are not breakable!). Designed to be hung up or placed, it also has three different lighting modes (Constant dim light, constant bright light, and color changing: This will cycle through the colors). This light is fun and functional, perfect for more than just camping.

Smart outdoor lighting is simple to install and set up, easy to customize, and available in a wide range of styles. You can add any one or several of these lights with little effort, and you&#;ll get a great effect.

This battery- and solar-powered path light doesn&#;t need a cord to operate, so you can install it anywhere you need a motion-activated pop of light.

These color-changing spotlights are straightforward to set up and use, and their heavy-duty aluminum coating should hold up well to years of use.

For this guide we focused on four popular types of outdoor lights: string lights, spotlights, path lights, and rope lights. After testing lots of each, we found a few favorites to get you started on your own yard of dreams. And if you&#;re looking for great smart decorative lighting for inside your home, we have recommendations for that, too.

Who this is for: String lights are an excellent accompaniment to patios, porches, and any other outdoor areas in need of a little extra ambience. Use them year-round on a set schedule so your backyard glows while you grill, sit by the fire pit, or simply enjoy the view of your very own, customizable twinkle lights.

Most models are dimmable and offer adjustable white-light color-temperature controls so you can set just the right mood for the occasion. Some models, such as our pick, add color-changing to the mix so you can create festive color combinations for the holidays and other gatherings.

Why it&#;s a pick: The Govee RGBIC Outdoor String Lights offer more lights than the competition, for less money. Available in 48- and 96-foot strands, these smart lights are a great choice if you have a lot of ground to cover. They also feature a traditional bulb shape if you prefer the classic string-light style. The Govee app offers customizable white-light color temperature, color-changing capabilities, and a range of themes and Scenes, along with more sophisticated settings. Those advanced features and options may be overwhelming for some people, but you can ignore them and still get satisfying results with the entry-level functions.

Another good option: The LIFX Outdoor String Lights, with a modern, cylindrical shape, offer a fresh take on string lights. The app is nicely organized and easy to use, from the initial setup to the highly varied selection of adjustable white-light and color-changing options. You&#;ll also find an assortment of light presets ranging from holiday and sports-team colors to nature-inspired Scenes. Compared with the Govee lights, these LIFX lights are expensive, but each of the 12 lights in this 24-foot strand has three different zones, so you can create lots of nuance with color, even within the same bulb. These string lights work with Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings.

Who this is for: Spotlights project focused beams of light on your home or around your yard to add a dash of flair to landscaping. You can leave them up year-round, and then during holidays or other festivities, use the app to select more colorful and dramatic colors and modes. They can also be set to illuminate dark areas around your property as a low-level security measure.

Spotlights are often sold in multipacks, which makes it easier for you to cover more ground, literally. They typically come with adjustable white-light and color-changing functionality, so you can create pretty much any mood to suit the moment. Smart features such as scheduling and Scenes, among others, make it easy to automate when and to what color and level of brightness your lights turn on.

Why it&#;s a pick: The Atomi Smart WiFi LED Spot Lights are durable, premium-quality 400-lumen lights with adjustable white-light and color-changing features, as well as support for Amazon Alexa and Google Home. They work just as well serving as subtle landscaping accent lights in white light as they do set to colorful, festive preset Scenes. The well-designed Atomi Smart app makes it simple for you to adjust and find settings, without getting lost. You can adjust the color temperature of the white light, dim the lights, or change them from white to color yourself&#;or you can simply select a Scene, put your lights on a timer, or create a daily schedule. These lights are expensive, but they also feel substantial enough to last through many seasons. We plan to test these spotlights over the long term to see just how well they handle the elements over time.

Another good option: The Govee Outdoor Spot Lights offer a lot of the same functionality&#;and a brighter, 500-lumen output per light&#;as the Atomi Smart lights, for less money. The Govee app gives you adjustable white-light color temperature, the full color wheel of RGB options, and tons of features and settings to explore. Because there are so many options, the app can seem confusing or just overdone at times. (Is anyone looking for a preset color gradient called &#;Anger&#;?) But these lights are easy to set up, they work well, and it&#;s no problem to set schedules, sync the lights to music, and much more. These Govee lights don&#;t have the same luxury finish or heft as our top pick, but they&#;re still a really good choice at a lower price.

Who this is for: Path lights add a polished look to a walkway and can improve safety on uneven or poorly lit pavement. Some path lights are equipped with motion sensors that turn the light on when it&#;s dark out and someone approaches them. Smart models also send an alert to your when the sensors detect activity, letting you know that someone (or something) is there. You can also adjust the sensitivity of the sensors to limit your motion alerts to bigger things, such as people, rather than, say, the neighbor&#;s cat. Other models rely on power cords to operate, which allows them to run continuously if you&#;d rather schedule your lights to turn on and off at set times.

Why it&#;s a pick: The Ring Solar Pathlight has a battery- and solar-powered design, so you don&#;t have to bother with hiding extension cords and cables in your yard. It&#;s easy to set up, and the app is straightforward and simple to navigate. A group of these lights gave my front yard a polished, professionally landscaped look. When one light detected motion activity at night, the three other grouped lights also turned on for 30 seconds before turning off again.

If the area where you want to install these lights doesn&#;t get much direct sunlight, and if it sees a lot of regular motion activity (which is liable to drain the battery faster), this path light might not be the best option for you. This light also functions more as a security light, since it doesn&#;t stay on continuously or change colors.

Another good option: The Govee Outdoor Pathway Lights are a solid choice for anyone wanting a continuous stream of color-changing light. This set of plug-in lights comes with a cord that you have to integrate into your landscaping so it isn&#;t an eyesore (and so you don&#;t run over it with a mower, for example), but this also means you won&#;t have to worry about a battery running out. The Govee app&#;s vast array of options allows you to display pretty much any color combination you want, even alternating colors or custom segments of light. The app is overloaded with options, which may be off-putting to some&#;at least you won&#;t run out of features to try.

Who this is for: Smart rope lights are ruggedized versions of their indoor cousins, strip lights. Instead of flexible tape, these thick, weatherproof tubes house a string of color-changing LEDs. Beyond their white-light and color-shifting abilities, rope lights are versatile due to their flexible design, which you can form into pretty much any shape you want. You might attach one under a porch railing to give your home a bold accent of color, or install one around the patio to better define it from the rest of your yard. Curve it around the base of a tree for a fun, festive holiday accent. Line your steps to provide better visibility.

Why it&#;s a pick: The LIFX Outdoor Neon Flex is a powerful rope light with an impressive white-light color-temperature range of 1,500 K to 9,000 K&#;that&#;s basically dim candlelight up to beaming, stadium-like bright white. At 100% brightness, it emitted more light than the other model we tested. The colors were also deeply saturated and intense, so this model is a great option for anyone craving bold color. (Fortunately, its dimming capability works well too, if you want to tone it down a bit.) The LIFX app is well designed and pleasant to use, allowing for easy control of lighting devices individually or grouped by room. And because the Flex rope light supports the wireless standard Matter over Wi-Fi, it works with all of the major smart-home platforms.

Another good option: The Philips Hue Lightstrip Outdoor offers a lot of the same features as the LIFX rope light, but its colors weren&#;t quite as bold in our tests, and its white-light color temperature has a slimmer range, from 2,000 K to 6,500 K. Hue lights also require the use of a Philips Hue Bridge, which makes them a pricier purchase. But the Hue Bridge uses Zigbee wireless, which has a far greater range than Wi-Fi, so this rope light may be a better option for anyone who has weak wireless connectivity outside.
