Memorial Solar Lights
Our range of memorial solar lights feature beautiful, sensitive designs to allow you to commemorate the life of a dear family member, friend or pet, be that at home in the garden or at a gravesite.
What are Memorial Solar Lights?
Our Memorial Solar Lights provide a heartfelt way to honour your cherished pet. These garden-safe lanterns and stake-lights incorporate solar-powered LEDs so you don’t need mains wiring. Simply place them where sunlight can reach and enjoy their gentle glow at dusk.
Why choose these lights?
Firstly, they offer both emotional and practical benefits. The soft illumination creates a tranquil, reflective atmosphere around a gravesite or memorial garden, offering comfort and remembrance. Secondly, they are solar-driven, eco-friendly and low maintenance. This dual benefit of memory and ease makes them a meaningful choice.
Key features & design benefits
- Weather-resistant build: Many versions (such as our dog or cat tribute lights) are crafted from polyresin with a stone-effect finish, designed for outdoor use year-round.
- Integrated solar panel & dusk sensor: The solar panel captures sunlight during the day, while the sensor automatically switches the LED on at dusk.
- Warm white LED glow: The efficient LED casts a soft, reassuring light rather than a harsh beam, making it ideal for quiet reflection and gentle evening illumination.
- Outdoor-safe design (IP rated): Models have IP44 rating, meaning they are protected against splashes, and suitable for outdoor placement.
- Compact size for placement versatility: measuring approx. 19.5 cm in height, they are easy to position on flat ground, beside a grave or within a memorial border.
How to use them
Place the light in a location where the solar panel has a clear exposure to sunlight during the day (ideally direct for several hours). On the first use, allow 36-48 hours of full charge to maximise performance. At dusk the light will automatically illuminate and remain on through the night. For best results, ensure there’s no obstruction (trees, walls, glass) blocking the panel.
The emotional impact
Memorial Solar Lights are more than just lighting. They are a thoughtful and tangible expression of remembrance. The gentle glow stands as a symbol of memory, continuity and respect. They allow you to honour your pet's life in a quiet, dignified way.
