Animal solar lights FAQs

  • Will I be able to charge my solar garden animal lights in the shade?

    Ideally, to get the best performance out of your solar-powered animal lights, you want to ensure that they have as much sunlight as possible. That way, you can guarantee that your solar lights will brighten up your outdoor space long into the night. They will still charge in shade, but you may not get optimum performance at night.  With this in mind, it's advised that you think carefully about where you place your animal solar lights in your garden.

  • Are solar lights cost effective?

    Compared to normal garden lights that are powered by mains electricity, solar-powered lights offer customers a more cost-effective solution. As they harness renewable energy from sunlight, opting for solar animal lights for your garden will save you money on energy bills in the long run.

  • Do our animal solar garden lights come with a warranty?

    Yes, all our products come with a 12-month warranty, so you can have peace of mind when you buy outdoor lights and other items with us.

  • How do solar animal lights actually work?

    Solar animal lights work by using a small photovoltaic panel to convert sunlight into electrical energy, which is stored in a rechargeable battery inside the ornament. A built-in sensor detects when daylight fades and automatically switches the LEDs on, utilizing the stored energy to illuminate the figure.

  • Do I need to wire these lights into the mains?

    No, one of the biggest benefits of our solar garden animals is that they are completely wireless. Because they are self-contained and powered entirely by the sun, you don't need to dig trenches for cables or connect them to an outdoor power socket.

  • Will my solar animal light charge on a cloudy day?

    Yes, high-quality solar panels will still harvest energy on cloudy or overcast days, which is essential for the UK climate. However, please note that the illumination time at night may be shorter compared to days with full, direct sunlight.

  • Where is the best place to position my solar garden ornament?

    To ensure maximum brightness and duration, place your solar animal in an area that receives direct sunlight for the majority of the day, such as a south-facing border or an unshaded patio. Avoid placing them under thick foliage or near bright streetlights, which might confuse the dusk-to-dawn sensor.

  • Can I leave these solar lights out all year round?

    Yes, our solar animal lights are designed with weather-resistant materials suitable for outdoor use during spring, summer, and autumn. While they can withstand rain, we recommend bringing them indoors during extreme winter weather or heavy frost to prolong the life of the battery and the finish.

  • How long do the lights stay on at night?

    When fully charged after a sunny day, most solar animal lights will illuminate for approximately 6 to 8 hours. In darker winter months or after heavily clouded days, this run time will naturally reduce as the battery receives less charge.

  • Do the batteries need to be replaced?

    Yes, the rechargeable batteries inside the lights (usually AA or AAA Ni-MH) typically last for about 600 charge cycles, or roughly two years. If you notice your light isn't lasting as long at night, simply swapping the old rechargeable battery for a new one can often make it work like new again.

  • Are these lights suitable for balconies or small courtyards?

    Absolutely, we have a range of sizes perfect for compact spaces, including hanging insect lights and smaller table-top figures. Because they don't require a plug, they are ideal for balconies where external power outlets are often unavailable.
