Solar Owl Garden Pathway Stake Light

Solar stake lights solve the problem that stops most people lighting a garden: there is no power where the light is needed. This one charges from its own panel through the day and switches itself on at dusk, so a path or a border gets marked without a cable ever being run.

The owl form gives it something to be during daylight. Most stake lights are a plain plastic head on a spike and look like hardware until the sun goes down; a shaped figure sits in a border as an ornament and lights up as a bonus.

Push the stake into soft ground and position the panel where it gets direct sun for most of the day, since output depends entirely on how well it charged. Expect shorter run times in winter and after overcast days: this is normal, not a fault. Wipe the panel clear of dust and leaves occasionally, and bring the units in over hard frost to protect the internal cell.
