The Solpex Solar Deck Lights have ‘exceeded expectations’ for homeowners keen to make the most of their outdoor space this spring
Amazon is offering ‘easy to install’ solar lights that ‘instantly add ambience’ to your property, perfect for illuminating gardens, fences, pathways, patios, balconies, decking and stairs. The lights have proven popular with homeowners eager to spruce up their outdoor spaces in time for the warmer spring weather and upcoming summer months.
The Solpex Solar Deck Lights available on Amazon have been showered with praise from satisfied customers, with thousands leaving glowing five-star reviews. Shoppers can choose either black and brown, and different bulbs, including ‘cold white’ and ‘warm white’.
Prices fluctuate based on the number of lights per pack. For instance, a pack of eight black lights will set you back £14.99, a dozen costs £18.99, 16 lights are priced at £19.99, and a pack of 20 is £31.99.
According to Amazon, the Solpex Solar Deck Lights “provide enough for you to illuminate your fence, deck, step, patio, balcony, yard or garden”, making it “safer for the whole family to go downstairs at night”. These lights could also be an ideal solution for driveways, garages and outdoor walls.
The Solpex Solar Deck Lights operate without a switch; remove the insulator tab to use. On sunny days, they take four to five hours to fully charge, reports Bristol Live. They automatically turn on at dusk and off at dawn.
Amazon boasts: “The deck lights solar powered can be installed anywhere that can be fixed with screws. The size is suitable for the deck; no worry about tripping. With hard ABS shell and high quality solar panel, the solar deck light is designed to withstand rain, wind, or small snowy days.”
The online retail giant also assures customers: “What’s more, in any case you have problem, just contact us, we will help you solve the problem as soon as possible.” Impressively, the Solpex Solar Deck Lights have racked up an overall customer score of 4.2 out of five stars.
In a glowing five-star review titled “exceeded expectations for price”, a satisfied customer named Sam penned: “I bought these as there is limited room to pass vehicles on my driveway and in the dark it is easy to miss the edge of the lawn and trip. Very impressed by the efficacy of the small lights and the ease to fit them. They do the job perfectly and were much better than I expected for under £20.”
Another user, who branded the Solpex Solar Deck Lights as “better than expected”, praised: “Was a bit worried they wouldn’t be bright when they arrived but woke at 5am to see the path was very well lit. For the price the build quality is decent.”
One more added their two cents, saying: “I have put them around my fence in the back garden and on the gate. They look really nice once it goes dark.” Meanwhile, Belinda shared her delight: “Very pleased with these solar lights they look amazing on the fence and give quite a bit of light.”
Customers have been sharing their thoughts on the ‘ambience’ created by a popular lighting purchase, with one satisfied buyer stating: “Great purchase, very aesthetic soft light that creates an atmosphere and brightens a passage well at night! I will recommend. I am delighted.”
Another chimed in with praise for the cosy vibe, saying: “They give a cosy atmosphere.” A third added to the positive feedback, noting: “They made a warm and welcoming environment on the terrace.”
Kuma, a customer, expressed their fondness for the product’s appearance and ease of installation, remarking: “I really like how they look and how easy it is to install them, they made our back garden look much better.” However, they did point out a limitation: “These LED lights are quite dim so they are more suitable as decorative / ambient light, not the ones you need to light up the front of your house like security lights.”
Not all reviews were glowing, though. One less impressed customer commented: “They are ok as a feature but not bright enough to light your path etc. Not what I was expecting. In fact, I am disappointed with them.” Another went further, bluntly stating: “Useless. Be better burning a candle.”
While Amazon’s Solpex Solar Deck Lights are stirring discussions, other retailers offer their take on ambient lighting solutions. Dunelm has its 20 LED Premium Festoon Outdoor String Lights available for £30, Debenhams sells a sleek Outdoor Acrylic Black Wall Light for £43, and Argos stocks Habitat’s 30 Warm White Bulb Festoon Light at £35.
For something more ‘heavy duty’, B&Q is selling these Lighting Legends Festoon String Lights that come with ‘warm white’ LEDs and are ‘waterproof’ for £79.99. Marks and Spencer has this Large Warm White LED Solar Rope Lantern available for £30.
