High street bargain hunters can now 'illuminate' their gardens at a knockdown price thanks to a new offer at B&M. The discount chain, well-known for its expanding range of deals on homeware and furniture, claims the product will create an 'inviting glow' in outdoor areas.
B&M Solar Light Offer
The Solar Powered Large String Hanging Light comes in a black finish and has been reduced by 50 per cent. Usually retailing at £15, the lighting is now priced at just £7.50 as part of a time-limited promotion.
A B&M spokesperson said: 'Illuminate your outdoor space with this stylish and practical Solar Powered Large String Hanging Light. Perfect for hanging in your garden, balcony, or yard for an inviting glow.'
Product Features
The light comprises a set of black solar-powered string lights with evenly spaced bulb-style LEDs along a slender cable, designed to be suspended outdoors across gardens, balconies, or fences. A compact solar panel recharges during daylight, and the lights activate automatically in dim conditions to deliver a gentle, ambient glow in the evening.
Interested customers can find more details, including dimensions and specifications, on the B&M website. The offer is for in-store collection only, so shoppers should verify stock availability at their local branch using the online store finder.
Comparison with Argos
The B&M light bears a striking resemblance to comparable designs at other retailers, including Argos. Argos currently sells the Black Paper Rope Easy Fit Lampshade for £34, which, while designed for indoor use, features a similar woven-style aesthetic. The key difference is cost: the Argos option is more than double the price of the B&M version.
The Argos product description reads: 'Transform your lighting with the Habitat black paper rope lampshade that brings texture and visual interest to any room. The woven rope design creates striking light patterns when switched on, casting a gentle, decorative glow that adds character to bedrooms, living rooms or dining spaces.'
It adds: 'It's perfect for creating a relaxed, contemporary atmosphere whether you're unwinding in the evening or setting the scene for casual get-togethers. The open weave construction gives it a light, airy feel that works beautifully with modern or laid-back interiors.'
Installation and Specifications
The easy fit design allows for quick installation without fiddly fixtures, and it works with standard lamp fittings. It uses a bulb up to 10 watts, providing soft ambient lighting ideal for mood rather than task lighting. Measuring 39cm in diameter and 23cm high, it makes a statement without overwhelming smaller spaces. Made from durable paper rope, it arrives fully assembled and is backed by a two-year manufacturer's guarantee.
