Don't let the sun go down with mains-free, solar powered outdoor lighting
It can be a real pain getting lighting to work well in the garden, particularly when there are no mains points to choose from. And this is where these cordless, solar lights really come into their own: they can be picked up and placed wherever you like.
Handy and eco-friendly, the new 'Solar Mate point 5' lights from Solar Technology can be set up in minutes, making them perfect for camping and festival trips as well as al fresco dining. They're also designed with drizzly British weather in mind, as the solar panels are designed to store sunlight even on dull, cloudy days. The lights work via thin film solar cell technology which powers three internal, rechargeable AA batteries during the day to provide power for 10 super bright LEDs, powerful enough to illuminate up to 9 Sq Metres for 3 hours. £9.99 at Solar Technology
