Why choose solar garden lamp posts?

Use our collection of traditionally styled solar lamp posts as an alternative to regular solar decking lights and solar path lights. They add elegance and class to your outdoor space and make a beautiful statement piece at the end of a driveway.

As well as being impressive to look at, these lamp posts are practical. They double up as security lighting and can be used with solar security lights. They're also weather resistant. Come rain, hail or snow, they can be left in place all year.

Plus, they're adjustable, with the lights offering a choice of height options. So, you can make them smaller and strategically place them on your decking or extend the light for an attention-grabbing tall lamp post. Light up your space in a way that works for you.

In addition, these lights are powered by LED bulbs, meaning they run for longer than their traditional counterparts. The bulbs are available in either warm white or bright white. You can alter the brightness settings on these lamp posts too – ideal for changing the look and feel of your garden with the seasons.

Why choose solar lamp posts for your outdoor space?

Solar lamp posts provide a stylish and practical way to light gardens, driveways, pathways and patios without the need for mains electricity. Inspired by traditional street-lamp designs, they combine classic aesthetics with modern solar technology, making them ideal for homeowners looking to enhance kerb appeal while keeping energy costs low.

How do solar lamp posts work?

Each solar lamp post features an integrated solar panel that captures daylight and stores energy in a rechargeable battery. As daylight fades, a built-in dusk sensor automatically switches the LED light on, delivering consistent illumination throughout the evening. Because the system is completely self-contained, there is no wiring, no digging and no need for a qualified electrician.

What are the benefits compared to wired lamp posts?

Solar lamp posts are far more flexible than traditional wired lighting. They can be positioned anywhere that receives sufficient sunlight, making them perfect for areas where cabling would be impractical. With no ongoing electricity costs and long-lasting LED bulbs, they offer excellent value over time while remaining simple to install and relocate if needed.

Solar Lamp Post FAQs

  • How do solar lamp posts work?

    Solar lamp posts come with built-in solar panels that harness sunlight during the day and convert it to electrical energy. This energy is stored in rechargeable batteries. At night, the stored energy powers the lights, illuminating the lamp posts. 

    To learn more about solar lights, you can read our Knowledge Centre article here. 

  • How long do solar lamp posts illuminate at night?

    Lighting duration depends on factors such as the quality of solar panels, battery capacity and the amount of sunlight received. Most solar lamp posts can provide illumination for 8-10 hours on a full charge. 

  • Are solar lamp posts cost effective?

    Yes! Solar lamp posts are a cost-effective lighting option when compared to normal, electric lights. While the initial investment might be higher, solar lamp posts save money in the long run by not incurring ongoing electricity costs. Instead, they harness renewable energy, meaning they're environmentally friendly and lower energy costs.

  • Do solar lamp posts need direct sunlight to function?

    Direct sunlight is the best way to ensure optimal charging. However, that doesn’t mean solar lamp posts can’t perform on overcast days. However, with limited sun exposure, charging may be at a reduced level, which can lead to a shorter lighting duration at night. 

  • Are there different settings?

    Many of our solar lights offer dual brightness settings. The high brightness setting is better for the summer months when fewer hours of darkness allow the light to operate at full brightness without using the battery's charge. The low brightness setting is better suited to the winter months when more hours of darkness mean your light has less charging time.

  • Are solar lamp posts weather-resistant?

    Yes, at Festive Lights we design our solar lamp posts to be weather resistant. They’re built to withstand prolonged outdoor exposure to rain, snow and other environmental conditions. Look for products with a high IP rating to ensure durability. If you want to find out more about IP ratings, check out our handy guide.

  • Can I replace the batteries in solar lamp posts?

    Yes, many lamp posts have replaceable batteries. To ensure a long lifespan, it’s important to change the batteries once the performance isn’t at 100%. 

  • Do solar lamp posts come with warranties?

    Yes, all our products come with a 12-month warranty, ensuring that you’re always secure when you buy with Festive Lights. 

  • Do solar lamp posts need to be connected to the mains?

    No, solar lamp posts are completely wireless and do not require mains electricity, making them easy to install anywhere with sunlight.

  • How long do solar lamp posts stay on at night?

    Most solar lamp posts will stay lit for around 6 to 10 hours after a full day of charging, depending on sunlight levels and battery capacity.

  • Where should I place a solar lamp post?

    Solar lamp posts should be installed in a location that receives direct sunlight for most of the day, such as open garden areas, driveways or pathways.

  • Do solar lamp posts require maintenance?

    Very little maintenance is required. Cleaning the solar panel occasionally and replacing the battery after a few years will help maintain performance.

  • Are solar lamp posts environmentally friendly?

    Yes, they use renewable solar energy, produce no emissions during use and help reduce reliance on mains electricity.
