Solar lights and solar lamps
Solar lights bestseller
Environmentally friendly solar lighting
Solar lights are a sustainable lighting solution for your garden, terrace or balcony. You don't need any electricity to power the lights. Solar lamps draw their energy purely from the sun. Since the lights do not require cables, they can be flexibly positioned and in particular, can be used as mobile table and floor lights.
Solar lamps atmospheric light into your outdoor area and create a cosy atmosphere that invites you to stay and spend some time. At the same time, you benefit from the eye-catching effect of the attractively designed lights. Solar lamps incorporate a battery in which the solar energy is stored, as well as long-lasting and efficient LEDs.
Different applications for solar lights
Different light types utilising solar modules
Solar lights with special features
Some of our solar lights incorporate a motion detector that turns the light on automatically when someone approaches. This increases safety and comfort and extends the running time to up to 10 hours. Other solar lamps are equipped with a spike and can be easily pushed into the soft soil to illuminate your flower bed, for example.

Battery-powered lights as an alternative to solar lights
If the wireless operation of solar lighting is particularly important for you, battery-powered lighting may provide an interesting alternative. These also function without cables and usually incorporate efficient LEDs. Unlike solar lights, however, battery-powered lamps do not use solar energy, but are usually charged via a USB cable. With their larger batteries, they can store more energy and therefore usually provide more light than solar lights. For this reason, a range of designs make perfect reading lamps. Battery-powered lamps are as versatile as solar lamps and are available for indoor and outdoor applications.

How do solar lights work?
Each solar light has a solar module, which consists of individual solar cells. These are mostly made of the semiconductor material silicon. The material converts the absorbed solar energy into electrical energy. When the sun's light falls on the solar cells, electrical voltage is created. The following applies here: The larger the area and the greater the amount of light that falls on it, the greater the amount of electricity produced. The energy generated in this way is stored in the battery of the solar light. As night falls, solar lights usually turn on automatically. Alternatively, many can be switched on or off by means of a switch or dimmer on the light.
What are the benefits of solar lights?
Since solar lights do not require electricity for their operation or for charging the battery, they represent an extremely sustainable lighting solution. Their cable-free operation also means that you benefit from a high degree of flexibility in application – there is no need to worry about power sockets, because solar lights do not need them.
Where can I use solar lights?
In principle, you can use solar lamps anywhere you like. Because you don't need a power supply. Use them to provide a little orientation in the dark or to enjoy cosy LED light in the evening.
Table lamps are well suited for the garden table, while solar lamps with spikes are ideal for lighting the flower bed or box. Table lamps with handles are the perfect companion for an evening picnic by the lake or on a beach holiday.
How long is the run time of solar lights?
The amount of time that solar lamps emit light depends on several factors. The duration of the light depends on the power of the light and the capacity of the battery. Some LED solar lamps light up for a few hours, others for up to 20 hours. The majority of our solar lamps have a run time of approx. 4 to 10 hours. The brightness ranges from a few to several hundred lumens.
How long does it take for solar lights to charge?
How fast a solar light is charged depends on the weather conditions and the capacity of the
built-in battery. If the sun shines all day, your solar lamp charges up to five times faster than in cloudy skies or rain. In most cases, it is sufficient to charge the LED light outside during the day in order to enjoy the atmospheric lighting in the evening. Most solar lamps are charged after about 6 to 8 hours of bright sunlight. It takes a little longer (8 to 12 hours) if the sky is cloudy or it is raining.
Tip: When charging the battery, position the solar panel to face south and keep the light away from shadows if possible.
Are solar lights waterproof?
As a rule, our solar lamps meet the requirements of ingress protection class IP44 at least. These lights are splash-proof, so they can withstand a bit of rain. However, we do recommend that you select a covered area for your solar lights.
