Stunning solar lanterns for the garden

Solar technology has come along in leaps and bounds recently thanks to better battery tech and more effective panels. Once upon a time solar lanterns for the garden were dim, dull and unreliable. Now they’re bright, beautiful, and a highly desirable choice for an exciting, discerning garden lifestyle.

In this article we showcase some of the most popular models we sell; stylish, durable, and a really effective way to deliver long-lasting lovely-looking light outdoors.

Popular solar lanterns – The small and large GLS Polaris LED Solar Lantern

Available in large and small, the stunning Polaris LED solar lantern from GLS is always a popular buy. The smart aluminium handle keeps things portable and clean, green solar power is the name of the game, emitted via a really beautiful decorative glass shade. This is an exceptional quality product, totally different from cheap plastic solar garden lights.

As well as charging with the sun you can charge it using a USB charger. The solar panel itself is fixed in the teak top, and the light comes in a choice of three settings.

• The brightest setting gives you as long as 5 hours’ light
• The medium setting gives you up to 8 hours
• The lowest light setting gives you as many as 12 hours
• Charge with a USB charger for as much as 32 hours of light on the brightest setting and as long as 60 hours on the lowest

The GLS Artemi LED Solar Lantern in large and small

The Artemi model is another awesome quality solar garden light, this time using the magic of rugged polyester fibre rope to give the design a cool 1950s-style edge. Again the solar panel is held in the wooden lid, a quality panel that gathers sunlight with excellent efficiency. The charcoal grey finish is the ultimate in on-trend colours and as you can see, the large and smaller versions look fantastic together. Can you imagine this gorgeous item playing a part in your outdoor lifestyle?

How to use solar lanterns in the garden

You can use these brilliant lamps in all sorts of ways. Here’s some inspiration:

• Light up the garden for safety so people don’t do themselves a mischief
• Create pools of compelling light around the garden furniture to create sociable spaces that work perfectly after dusk
• Illuminate a pathway or a set of garden steps
• Light up a destination – a beautiful garden sculpture, a specimen plant, a water feature
• Light your garden dining area subtly and stylishly
• Hang it by the handle for illumination higher up

Next – The Callow Outdoor Solar LED Pendant Light with Grey Rattan Effect Shade

This design is all about bringing cool interior design trends outdoors. The Callow Outdoor Solar LED Pendant Light with Grey Rattan Effect Shade looks wonderful with its delicate-looking yet durable hand woven grey PE resin rattan shade and tough iron frame.

Lit by 8 bright warm white LEDs totalling 2800-3000K, the solar panel charges fully in 6-8 hours to give you 6-8 hours of light, enough to brighten up your celebrations late into the night. It’s easy to fit anywhere you like – over your garden dining table, illuminating a lounger so you can read, under a garden shade sail or in your gazebo. The 3m extension cable has a hook so you can dangle it with ease.

The popular Callow Silver Solar Pear Shaped Solar Lantern with LED Candle

People really love this pear-shaped design, and the way the light gleams through the silvery struts. The LED candle looks realistic and gives you lovely subtle light in every garden scenario. Like the rest of our solar garden lights there’s no cable to trip and fall over, which is always good news when you’re determined to party! It comes with a simple on/off switch, and when it’s turned on it’ll come on after dark automatically, re-charging itself during the day. And that means it’s super-easy to use. Switch it on, walk away, and it’ll do its magic without you having to fiddle with anything.
