Brightness in lumens
Where the maker states lumens, the product page shows it. A path light needs far less than a security light, so the number tells you more than a photo does.

Solar Lights sells pathway lights, string lights, security lights, wall lights, deck lights, lanterns and more for Irish homes. Each product page lists the maker's details: lumens, battery, panel, run time, waterproof rating and what is in the box.
A solar light only earns its place if it suits where it goes. We list the facts that decide that, so you know what you are buying.
Where the maker states lumens, the product page shows it. A path light needs far less than a security light, so the number tells you more than a photo does.
The battery size, the panel type and the hours of light after a full day of sun are listed where the maker gives them. Winter days are shorter, so expect less.
Each page lists the contents, from stakes and screws to a remote or mounting bracket, so you know what arrives and what you still need to buy.
The IP rating tells you how a light copes with rain and dust. The page states it where the maker gives one, so you can match the light to an exposed wall or a sheltered porch.
Motion sensing, dusk to dawn, dimming and colour temperature change how a light behaves at night. They are stated on the page where the maker gives them.

Start with the job. A path needs a soft pool of light, a driveway needs a motion sensor light, and a patio needs string or festoon lights. Then check the lumens, the run time and the IP rating on the product page. If you are unsure, email us before you order.
Most makers quote run times after six to eight hours of direct sun. A panel under a tree or an eave charges less, so the light runs for fewer hours. Place the panel where it faces the sky for most of the day, and expect shorter run times in winter.
Yes, but for fewer hours. Shorter days and cloud mean a smaller charge. Lights with a larger battery and a dim setting last longer. The product page lists the battery size and the run time where the maker gives them.
Most orders arrive within 7 to 14 working days of the order date, a little longer for regional and remote addresses. Working days leave out weekends and public holidays. For a date that cannot move, order at least two weeks ahead. We cannot promise delivery on a set day.
Most are rated for outdoor use. The IP rating on the product page says how well a light resists rain and dust. IP44 suits a sheltered wall, IP65 handles direct rain, and IP67 or IP68 can sit in the ground or float in a pool. Match the rating to the spot.
No. Solar lights have no mains wiring. Most stake into the ground or screw to a wall or post with the fittings in the box. The product page lists the mounting hardware the maker includes.
Yes. We deliver to every county, including regional and rural addresses. Delivery is free on orders of €59 or more and a flat €8 under that. Remote areas can take a few days longer.
Send it back within 14 days of delivery, in resaleable condition with its packaging and accessories, and we refund the price you paid including standard delivery. That is on top of your Consumer Rights Act 2022 rights if anything arrives faulty.
A good solar light is one that is still shining at ten o'clock. That depends less on the photo and more on a few plain facts: the lumens, the battery, where the panel sits and what the light is for. This guide walks through those facts and the kinds of solar light we sell.
Think about what the light has to do before you pick one. A path needs a line of soft lights so you can see the edge. A back door needs a bright light that comes on when someone walks up. A deck or patio needs warm string lights that set a mood. Write down each spot and what it needs, and the choice gets much easier.
Lumens measure brightness. A path light gives 10 to 30 lumens, a wall or deck light 50 to 200, and a security or flood light 1000 or more. More is not always better: a bright light beside a path dazzles rather than guides. Where the maker states lumens, the product page shows it.
A solar light stores the day's sun in a battery and spends it at night. The battery capacity in mAh, the panel type and the quoted run time after a full charge all matter. Makers quote run times from a sunny day, so expect less in winter and under cloud. Lights with a dim mode or a motion sensor stretch the charge further.
The IP rating tells you how a light copes with water and dust. IP44 suits a covered porch. IP65 handles rain on an open wall. IP67 and IP68 can sit in the ground, on a step that gets hosed, or float in a pool. Check the rating against the spot before you buy.
Pathway lights stake along a path or garden bed. In-ground lights sit flush with lawn or paving and can be walked on. Spotlights point up at a tree or a wall feature. Bollard lights stand taller and suit a driveway edge. Driveway lights are rated to be driven over. A lamp post gives a pool of light at a gate or a corner.
Fairy string lights are fine wire strings for wrapping a tree, a railing or a hedge. Festoon lights are larger bulbs on a cable for a pergola or patio. Globe string lights sit between the two. Rope lights are a sealed tube that bends along a step edge or a fence line.
A motion sensor security light stays dim or off until someone approaches, then floods the area. A flood light with a remote lets you set the mode from the ground, and its panel sits on a cable so it can catch sun while the light sits in shade. A street light on a pole or wall covers a yard or driveway. A shed light hangs inside with the panel outside. A clip on gutter light needs no screws at all.
Up and down wall lights wash light along a wall for a modern look. Wall lanterns suit a traditional porch. A dusk to dawn porch light runs all night by the front door. Fence lights and post cap lights mark a boundary. A house number light and a mailbox light help visitors and deliveries find you after dark.
Deck lights screw to a post or the deck edge. Step lights mount on the riser or the side wall of a stair so each tread is lit. Both are low lumen on purpose: enough to see the edge, not enough to glare.
Hanging lanterns and table lanterns are for the outdoor table and the tree branch. Flame torch lights flicker like a real flame along a path or around a fire pit. Floating pool lights drift on the water. Umbrella lights clip to a parasol pole. A camping lantern charges on the dashboard and packs flat.
In Ireland, face the panel south and keep it clear of eaves, trees and shade for most of the day. Wipe the panel every few weeks, because dust and pollen cut the charge. Switch a new light on before its first day in the sun; some ship with the battery disconnected.
Most orders arrive within 7 to 14 working days of the order date, and regional addresses can take longer. Working days leave out weekends and public holidays. For a birthday, Christmas or a party date, order at least two weeks ahead. Delivery is free on orders of €59 or more and a flat €8 under that.
Clean the panel and the lens. Bring delicate lanterns in during storms. Most lights use a replaceable rechargeable battery, and the product page says which type where the maker lists it. Swap it when run times drop after a year or two. This guide is general information, not electrical or safety advice.
Match the light to the job. Read the lumens and the run time. Check the IP rating against the spot. Look at what is in the box and whether the panel is built in or on a cable. Think about where the panel will get sun. Then check the delivery window against the date you need it.
Buy for the spot, read the facts on the page, and leave enough time for delivery. Every product page here lists the maker's details (lumens, battery, run time, IP rating and what is in the box) so you can decide before you order, and you have 14 days from delivery to change your mind.
