Follow Your Path with Solar String Lights

Along with solar rock lights, solar string lights are one of the easiest and most flexible ways to get started with solar lighting in your garden.

As the name suggests, these light kits have LED lights on a string – a bit like Christmas lights but with less tinsel :)

Where they really shine – pun intended – is if you want to provide a line of light around an irregular shape like a curved path or drive, for example. Because the lights are on a string, it’s very easy to position the cable and lights so that they follow unusual shapes.

Check out these solar string lights – 14 bulbs with a string that’s 420 inches long, meaning you can place your solar lights up to 32 inches apart. What we like most about this particular solar kit is there’s only one charging unit needed for the whole lot and each light has its own hook, so you can get creative by hanging the lights in trees, bushes or fencing.

If you’re thinking about buying new pathway or driveway lights it’s well worth considering buying solar path lights. Aside from the obvious power savings – not to be sniffed at in today’s financial climate – they’re also very easy to install.

Most solar pathway lights are self-contained units. Just buy as many as you think you’ll need to light up your pathway – you can always buy more later. They’re among the cheapest form of solar lighting you can get and you can normally find a great deal of a pack of three or four.

Remember, because they’re solar powered there aren’t any wires to worry about so need to dig up the garden. Although the stake design is the most common form of solar garden lights – where you need to push the stake into the ground, you can even get lights designed to look like rocks. Just lay them next to your pathway or driveway to “install”.
