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.
