They can also be used to illuminate a decorative feature in your yard.

There job is to illuminate rather than be illuminating.

And just like many of the other solar lights, they are made of black plastic.

Youll find an instruction leaflet inside, which is generic and relates to several different versions of the spotlight.

However, they are not difficult to set up and can be used at ground level, or wall-mounted.

If you turn the spotlight over, you’ll notice an on/off switch on the reverse.

Simply place your hard over the solar panel and you’ll be able to see.

If it’s on, the spotlight will glow!

you’ve got the option to also adjust the brightness level by using the on/off switch.

This will avoid putting undue pressure on the light and potentially damaging the unit.

In this scenario, you wont need to attach the spike.

With several different solar lights in my yard, the difference in color tone was marked.

Brightechs Ambience Pro LED Outdoor String Lights have a much softer, warm glow.

While, Otdairs Solar Flame Torch Lights have a soft, yellowy flicker.

Heavy rain, freezing temperatures, and high winds theyve had everything thrown at them.

Theyve stood up well and continued to work as when I first placed them outside.
