After sunset

It turns itself on, every night

There is no switch and no timer to set. Each light reads the fading daylight, wakes up at dusk, and goes off again at dawn.

Why people order more than four

Small light, obvious difference

Warm white and aimed downward, so it picks out the edge of each step without glaring at anyone walking up them.

Aimed down, not at you

The lens sits under the housing and washes light onto the tread below. You see where the step edge is; nobody gets a bulb in the eye.

Solar, so nothing to wire

Four to five hours of sun runs one for six to eight hours after dark. No cable, no transformer, no electrician, no trench.

Two ways to mount

Two screws are in the box and so is double-sided tape. Wood, composite, stone or render, vertical on a riser or flat on a rail.

Built to stay out

Sealed ABS housing rated IP44, so rain, snow and the sprinkler are a non-event. Leave them up through the season.

Marks the edge, not the whole yard

This is an accent light, and that is the point. Each one lays a soft warm pool on the tread directly below it, so the run of steps reads clearly in the dark without turning the garden into a car park.

  • Warm white, angled downward
  • Enough to show a step edge, not enough to dazzle
  • Reads as a lit run once you fit several

The panel is the whole setup

The solar cell sits in the flat top face, so anywhere with open sky above it will charge. There is no separate panel to site, no wire between the two, and nothing to bury.

  • Charges in ordinary daylight, not just direct sun
  • Four to five hours of sun for a full charge
  • No switch to find and no timer to program

Enough to do the run in one go

Most people underestimate how many steps they are lighting and end up ordering twice. Counting the run first is cheaper: the per-light price drops the further up the packs you go.

  • One per step for a staircase
  • Every three to four feet along a fence or deck edge
  • $7.49 a light at four, about $5.62 at sixteen
Setup

Up in about a minute each

1

Pull the tab

There is a clear plastic strip under the housing from shipping. Pull it out and the light is live.

2

Charge it facing the sun

Four to five hours of daylight gets it to a full charge the first time. It arrives flat, so do this before you fit it.

3

Screw it or stick it

Two screws, or the double-sided pad if you would rather not drill. Then leave it alone -- it handles dusk and dawn itself.

Pick your pack

One light is a test. A run of them is the point.

A single light marks one step. Eight down a staircase, or spaced along a fence, is when the whole run reads as lit -- and the price per light keeps falling the further up you go.

“Installation was simple with the adhesive, and they turned on automatically the first evening after charging in the sun.”

“Great value for a 16 pack. We used them along the fence and garden path and the yard feels much cozier.”

Questions

Before you order

No. Each light has its own solar panel and rechargeable battery built in. There is nothing to plug in, no cable to run and no transformer.

Two ways, and both are in the box: two screws, or a double-sided adhesive pad if you would rather not drill. They mount vertically on a step riser or fence board, or flat on the top of a rail or post.

Four to five hours of direct sun gives roughly six to eight hours after dark. Short or overcast winter days mean a shorter run that night.

Yes. The housing is sealed ABS rated IP44, which covers rain, snow and sprinklers. They are built to stay up outdoors through the season.

Warm white, aimed downward. Bright enough to show where a step edge is, soft enough that it does not dazzle anyone coming up the stairs.

For a staircase, one per step is the usual answer. Along a fence or a deck perimeter, most people space them every three to four feet. Count the run before you order -- the per-light price drops on the bigger packs.
