Shoppers at The Range are snapping up a £5.99 solar-powered hanging light that adds a touch of whimsy to gardens without requiring any electricity. The Solar Hot Air Balloon Hanging Light features six LED bulbs in ombre colours, creating a warm white glow that enhances outdoor ambience.
Solar-Powered Garden Lighting
As summer approaches, many people are preparing their gardens for evening gatherings. Solar lights are an ideal solution, as they require no mains power or batteries. The Solar Hot Air Balloon Hanging Light is a standout option, offering a decorative touch with its hot air balloon design and varying bulb heights.
The light weighs just 136g and can be easily hung on a tree or hook. Each bulb is adorned with a basket-like base, mimicking the look of a hot air balloon. The colours transition from red and orange to blue, adding personality to any outdoor space.
Customer Feedback
While the product has no reviews on The Range's website, TrustPilot users have praised similar solar lights. One reviewer said, "I have tried to get 4 more of these lovely solar hanging lights since last year. They look fantastic and are an excellent product." However, some customers reported faulty bulbs, with one noting they had to replace a rechargeable battery.
Alternative Options
For those seeking a brighter option, Argos offers a Warm White Starburst Solar Stake Light for £10. Traditional festoon lights, such as a 25ft string from Amazon at £34.99, provide broader illumination for larger areas like BBQs.
The Solar Hot Air Balloon Light pairs well with garden furniture sets, such as the Avalon 5 Piece Rattan Sofa Set, reduced to £349.99 from £399.99. It also complements the 37L Cooler Bar Table, now £69.95, for outdoor parties.
Practical Considerations
Due to the coloured bulbs, the light may not be as bright as clear alternatives, making it more suitable for atmospheric lighting rather than practical illumination. Nonetheless, it offers a charming addition to gardens, especially when hung over seating areas or near dining spaces.
