FAQs
Do solar lights work in the UK with limited sunlight?
Yes. Modern solar panels charge in overcast and indirect light. Winter performance is shorter (4–6 hours vs 8–10 in summer) but still functional.
How long do solar garden lights last?
The LEDs last 5+ years. Rechargeable batteries typically need replacing after 1–2 years and cost a few pounds each.
What are the brightest solar lights for UK gardens?
Solar spotlights (200+ lumens) are the brightest for feature lighting. Path lights (10–30 lumens) provide softer ambient illumination.
