Terracotta Decorative Solar Light

Usually we prefer our solar lights more utilitarian than purely decorative but these do look good, don’t they?

You’re looking at the Solar Sphere Terracotta with Circles from My Solar Shop. They come in a pack of four and would be pretty nice accent lights for deck lighting, tabletops or even indoors.

Eight hours of free solar lighting for each full charge.

Cheap But Good Solar Lantern

No one likes a nice solar lantern more than me – trouble is they can be expensive. Here’s a solar lantern from 21st Century Goods that’s both good on price and features.

The Soladyne 7450 solar lantern comes with 12 bright LEDs and a built in solar panel that can provide 7 hours of eco-friendly light from 10 hours of bright sunshine. What if you don’t get 10 hours of bright sunshine on any particular day? No problem, it comes with a hand crank for when solar charging isn’t available. One minute of winding will give you half an hour of light.

Alternatively, you can charge the lantern using a 12 volt cigarette lighter adapter (included) or with an optional AC charger.

Quality Solar Deck Lights

Although it’s easy enough to source solar powered deck lights these days, the problem is often that its difficult to find lights that actually give a decent amount of light. This is particularly a problem with cheaper types of deck lights – they usually don’t have a very bright light to begin but also often only have limited openings for the light to come out from.

Not so the solar deck lights from Kansas based Moonlight Decks. The lights are big – three inches tall and 4.5 inches in diameter – and designed in transparent acrylic so the light is bright and emits in all directions.
