The lawn is mowed, the BBQ has been dusted off, the garden furniture is out and the parasol is up, so where better to enjoy the longest spell of sunny weather since 1910 than relaxing with friends and family in the garden the whole evening through?

Creating the right ambience when entertaining is key and solar lighting offers you a great way to instantly transform your garden into a beautifully lit night-time haven to enjoy the whole year round. A new survey from the UK’s leading solar lighting brand Cole & Bright has revealed that whilst half of people use lighting for decorative purposes, 16% fear it would be too expensive to run. Thankfully, with super-efficient solar panels that recharge even on an overcast day, solar lighting offers you a reliable cost-effective lighting source every day of the year … it even automatically switches on at dusk and off at dawn!

So, with no wiring required and up to eight hours of night-time illumination, solar lighting is truly a great ‘out of the box’ lighting solution that will magic your garden into a softly lit personalised space in minutes; illuminating borders and beds with a soft warm glow, creating spot-lit pathways to guide the way and creating beautiful mood lighting for garden parties and outdoor entertaining.
