If you want to brighten up your backyard and create a warm ambience once the sun goes down, the best solar lights will create the effect you are after. What’s more, my favorite solar string lights are now reduced by over 58% at Amazon.

You can now achieve a beautiful evening glow in your backyard with Brightech’s Ambience Pro LED Outdoor String Lights, now $19.99 at Amazon. Apart from saving $28, they are rated as the best solar lights in our buying guide.

If you want to upgrade your patio to look like an outdoor bistro, these lights will do the trick. These solar-powered string lights are almost 58% off, and will add ambiance to your yard. With retro Edison-style bulbs, these 12 lights are connected on a 27-foot cord, with 20 inches between each light. At the end is a solar panel, which can be secured to a railing or other platform, or staked into the ground, and the lights last for up to six hours.

These solar lights take the top spot

Despite being originally tested by a colleague and ranking at the top in our best solar lights buying guide, I retested the Brightech Ambience Pro LED Outdoor String Lights to ensure they still deserve the top spot. And they didn’t disappoint.

These string lights add a charm to any outside space, whether they are wrapped around a tree, hung on a veranda, across a pagoda, or on fencing. They can instantly lift the mood and create soft lighting in the evening.

Reliable solar lighting that won't let you down in the dark

The 12 LED lights are positioned along a 27-foot rubberized cord, making them durable whatever the weather. The plastic bulbs are shatterproof and windproof to 50mph, and temperature resistant to -4°F to 122°F. The accompanying solar panel can be staked in the ground or attached to a post to capture sunlight in the optimal position.

You’ll also be able to enjoy five to six hours of sunlight with six hours of direct sunlight. Having tested these solar lights, I can vouch for this claim.

A light for all seasons

Brightech's Ambience Pro LED Outdoor String Lights are usually on the pricey side, which is why this deal is worth grabbing. And don’t worry if you think it’s too late in the season to make the most of solar string lights, as I also use them to brighten up my backyard in the depths of winter. Apart from the dullest days, there was still plenty of sunlight to keep these solar lights working, and they are durable enough to beat whatever the weather can throw at them.
