Shoppers report that their gardens are being "transformed" by solar lights from Amazon, with the Ollny Solar Lights proving so popular that customers are purchasing multiple sets. The 8m length is currently available for £19.99 and is listed as an Amazon's Choice product, with the site indicating that more than 800 have been bought in the past month.
Features and specifications
The lights come equipped with 16 G50 high-brightness bulbs, each containing 10 precision beads, emitting a "soft and uniform string light for an immersive atmosphere." They are designed to illuminate patios and outdoor spaces, providing a warm glow.
Dual charging modes are included: solar power, which takes six to eight hours, and USB, which takes four to five hours. A 1800mAh lithium battery provides eight to 10 hours of runtime on a full charge.
Customer reviews and alternatives
Described as rain-resistant and moisture-proof, the lights are safe for indoor and outdoor use. They come with a 5m infrared remote control, offering eight lighting modes, three timing options, and four-level brightness adjustment, suitable for gardens, balconies, and holiday celebrations.
The Ollny Solar Lights have an average rating of 4.7 out of five stars from Amazon shoppers. One reviewer said: "These lights are so good, so effective and such good value for money that we ended up buying four sets! Our garden has been transformed."
Another added: "Brilliant lights. The rope that the lights hang off is strong and sturdy. The bulbs seem tough and the lights are really bright, not dim and barely there. There are lots of different settings to suit different moods, which can be controlled via the solar panel or via the remote. I'm really pleased with them."
A third shopper commented: "Love, love these garden lights. Wasn't sure at first but purchased it anyway. Good quality and value for money, (they) look great on my garden fence."
However, some feedback was less positive. One person noted: "The lights are great but the remote control to adjust the functions is faulty. I changed the batteries but still no joy." Another wrote: "Great little lights. My only disappointment is they only cover three fence panels, as most of the length is actually rope without lights on."
Other garden lighting options
Alternative options include the Argos Home 10 Dancing Flame Solar String Lights, priced at £20, which feature gold-coloured casings with flickering LED bulbs. The Debenhams Valiant Outdoor Garden String Lights (12.5m) are available for £14.99, described as weatherproof with long-lasting LED bulbs that create a "warm, inviting ambience."
The Ollny Solar Lights are available from Amazon.
