If your yard could use some more lighting outside to brighten it up at night, outdoor solar lights are the way to go. Not only do they harness the sun’s rays during the day to illuminate their bulbs at night—all while saving you money on your electricity bill—but you can also find them on Amazon for pretty affordable prices. And we’re not just talking about stake lights for the pathway either, although those really come in handy for lighting the way for guests and creating curb appeal, too, especially if the lights project a gorgeous design onto the ground at night; we discovered tons of great deals on all kinds of outdoor lighting options, including mounted outdoor solar lights with motion sensors, hanging bistro bulbs, and more.
Enjoy your outdoor space—either in front or out back—later into the evening than you would have before with the convenient addition of outdoor lighting. We found the best outdoor solar light deals on Amazon with up to 75 percent off for all shoppers (and 80 percent off for Prime members). Grab them now while prices start at only $7.
Bistro lights will likely never go out of style, and this 35-foot string of solar lights has just about every feature you could ask for. Not only do they depend on solar energy while outdoors, but they’re also conveniently waterproof, have shatterproof bulbs, and can be easily turned on with a handy remote control (which means no plugging and unplugging every time you want to use them, thank goodness). While you can use them indoors, too, by charging them with the included micro USB, they’re also generally weather-proof, able to withstand all kinds of weather conditions, including snow, sun, and powerful winds. With more than 4,000 sold in the past month and a total of 1,192 five-star ratings, these super popular lights also turn on and off automatically, but the remote also gives you the option of doing it manually, too.
Mounted motion sensor lights may be more utilitarian than they are decorative, but they’re still just as impactful. This two-pack of waterproof and weather-resistant solar lights is easy to set up, as they are absolutely wireless—no electrical wiring included or necessary. Simply mount them to a flat surface or exterior wall with the included expansion pillar hinge, screws, and mounting tape, making sure that their positioning is in direct sunlight. The lights have three lighting modes, including a motion sensor mode that’s activated by movement, permanent-on that turns on and stays on all night, and smart brightness control, which stays on all night but turns even brighter when it detects motion. And to make sure it’s registering all the potential motion around it, the solar lights cover a wide, 270-degree angle so nothing’s missed in the dark.
The best part about traditional fairy lights is that you can do just about anything with them! (Not to mention this 72-foot string, which features more than 120 LEDs throughout, is only $7.) These waterproof lights come in several color options as well, including the warm white pictured above, as well as green, red, blue, purple, multicolor, and cold white. Mold them into just about any shape you like, whether that’s wrapping them around tree or shrub branches, outlining the porch, or stuffing them into a glass vase to create the illusion of jarred fireflies. Really, the options are endless—and especially worth it for just $7.
Amazon shoppers are loving this eight-piece set of garden lights; in fact, it has 5,718 perfect five-star ratings with most customers calling out the cut-out lattice design as their favorite feature. Each solar-powered lantern has an elevated pattern that looks great during the daytime, and it also works double duty, projecting a pretty design at night. They’re made of high-quality, rust-proof plastic, and of course, are weatherproof and waterproof, so they can stay outside during all weather conditions and seasons. Each light also comes with two types of stakes, one normal and one elevated, so you can choose the look you like.
