Buying Affordable Solar Lanterns

Solar lanterns are a good option for any garden or pathway. They will help to keep your garden well lit at night, protecting your home from unwanted intruders. Solar garden lanterns are also aesthetically pleasing and will enhance your garden’s decor. They are easy to set up as you do not have to fuss with wiring; they usually come on a stake that is driven into the ground and the solar lantern is either attached to the top of the stake or hangs off the end of it. The lights will automatically turn themselves on at dusk and then switch off when the sun comes up.

You can buy a solar powered lantern or a set of solar powered lanterns; the latter option is a lot more affordable. The most affordable kinds are the types that are contemporary in style. Amazon.com has a number of solar powered lanterns sets. Some affordable ones include the Solar Flickering Cane Lanterns; a set of two sells for $30 while a set of four sells for $50. These lanterns are traditional in style and quite classy looking. Other affordable options include a Set of four Malibu Solar Lights in Black selling for $40 and a Stainless Steel Solar Lantern five pack selling for under $30. It should be noted that the latter set is a lot more plain and simple in design than the above mentioned options.

Another good place to look for affordable solar lighting for your garden is at overstock.com. This site has a wide selection, from the more ornate Shepards Hook Solar Hanging Lantern (Set of 6) by EGP currently selling for $70, to the colorful and eye-catching Color Stripe Solar Power Lanterns (Set of 6) by GS, selling for $74.

Another option is to buy statues with solar lighting. These are very ornate and beautiful. You can find solar powered dogs, fairies, frogs and plain stones that give off either white, blue or amber colored lights at night. Online retail site CSNlighting.com sells a couple of beautiful solar powered fairy lights, one in lavender and the other in yellow. These cost around $30 each. Solar powered rocks are often a bit more affordable but prices do vary depending on the particular kind you buy and where you buy it from. It should be noted that these lights are more for decoration; they give off some light but not enough to really light up your garden or pathway. Solar light is still a welcome addition to any home or garden.
