Solar garden lights are really popular these days, since they are cheap to buy, cheap to run and really easy to put in. And they look great too! My favourites are the solar stainless steel lights, since I like the polished metal look. Many other syles of solar garden lights are out there, and some at unbelievably low prices!

Solar post cap lights and solar deck rail lights are very similar in design to the garden lights, but are meant to be placed on top of fence posts, gate posts, and deck railings. These add an ambient glow after the sun goes down, for up to 8 hours. The next day, they charge back up and are ready to go all night again.
