B&Q’s ‘lovely’ £14 outdoor lights ‘look great on summer evenings’

These “pretty” outdoor lights don’t need to be plugged in so could help you save energy

From string lights to mounted wall lights or lights that can be placed in the soil, it can be hard to know what type of outdoor lighting to choose.

One thing to consider when purchasing outdoor lighting is the accessibility of your power supply. Also, how much energy the lights will use.

For those whose gardens don’t have a conventional electrical supply, solar-powered or battery-powered lighting is a great option.

B&Q is currently selling ‘Delamere crackle glass ball outdoor string lights’ that are solar powered and bring a “warm white” light to your garden.

The solar panel means no electrical work is needed, and they could therefore help you save energy.

The lights are splashproof and are said to have a high weather resistance.

They also come with a guarantee of two years.

One buyer said: “Bought these lights last year and left them out all winter. They worked all through the winter and lit up even after cloudy days, so I went and bought more sets.”

Another said: “These lights are great, I have them on our fence, and they look great on those summer evenings.”.

Another said: “Very pleased with them, they are glowing well into the night and are very attractive to look at”.

However, they added: “Only wish would be to have more than 8 bulbs!”

B&Q describes the lights as having a “modern” design.

The lights can be ordered via click and collect to various locations, including B&Q Liverpool Shopping Park.

They are also available for home delivery.
