I installed them in under five minutes. Outdoor Bollard Garden Lights
Like most homeowners, when my family and I moved into our current house, there were a number of things we wanted to fix and replace. One of the items on our to-do list was upgrading the outdoor lighting, specifically the fixtures along the walkway and stairs that lead to our front door. They were old (and ugly) and barely working, which created a safety concern at night.
After getting quotes from professional landscapers that were in the hundreds of dollars, I decided to try a set of $15 solar LED lights instead, and I was shocked by how well they worked. The Mainstays Stainless Steel Walkway Solar-Powered Disc Lights come in a pack of four, so I grabbed three of them to line my pathway and to place by some of the bushes in my front yard.
The lights are so simple to install, requiring no professional help and no wiring. As someone who admittedly is void of any landscaping or handyman-type talents, I was pleasantly surprised at the ease with which I could push the stake into the ground. All you need to do is switch the disc light to ‘on,’ and the battery is automatically recharged during the day. The ground near my pathway was a bit rocky, but with a firm push, each light sat nearly flush. And once they’re placed, they don’t budge or shift an inch. It took me about five minutes after opening the box to have my new lights fully set up.
When I first installed the lights, I was curious to see if they turned on and how well they lit up the area. At dusk, each one immediately turned on, providing a warm white glow to my home’s outdoor area. While I used eight lights along my pathway that were a bit spread out, if you want to provide even more brightness, you can place them closer together. At just $15 for a set of four, I suggest grabbing multiples to put under bushes, by trees, along walkways, to light up a pool area, by stairs, and more. You can even set them up on or around a deck or patio without the stakes if you want additional outdoor lighting while entertaining during the summer.
Shoppers were also pleasantly surprised by how well they lit dark outdoor areas of their homes, including one person who said the lights look like more expensive options and line their narrow steps beautifully, so they no longer have to worry about tripping. A second reviewer who placed them by their garden praised the easy setup, adding that they’ve even driven over the LED lights with a lawn mower, causing no issues or damage.
Round Steel Column In my mind, there’s no reason to spend hundreds of dollars on lighting on a professional landscaper who has to use underground wiring, when you can have a bright outdoor space in minutes at a much lower cost. Grab the Mainstays Solar Powered Stainless Steel LED Disc Lights for just $15—or less than $4 apiece—in time for outdoor entertaining this summer.
