Solar Pagoda Path Lights

Small pagoda topped stake lights that push into soft ground along a path or a border. Sold in pairs. There is no wiring and no switch: a light sensor turns them on as it goes dark and off again at dawn.

They are marker lights rather than floodlights. Set in a run, they show you where the path goes without lighting the whole garden.

Where to put it

Along a path, down a border, either side of a step or around a bed. The spike suits soil and bark; it will not go into gravel over hard core or into a lawn that has dried solid in summer.

Charging

Give them a full day of direct sun before the first evening. Runtime drops in winter and after a run of overcast days, which is normal for anything solar rather than a fault.
