Description
These solar Christmas lights are a garden stake light with a festive bell hanging from a shepherd's hook and a waterfall of warm white light strands spilling below it, for $64.68. A solar panel on the stake charges the built-in battery during the day and the light turns on by itself at dusk, so there is no wiring and no power point needed.
Outdoor Christmas decorations usually mean running extension leads across the lawn and remembering to switch them on every night. A solar garden light does the work for you: push the stake into the ground, leave the panel in the sun, and it glows every evening through December. The bronze-look bell, topped with a red bow and pine leaves, looks just as good during the day as the light does at night.

Where Should You Put Outdoor Christmas Decorations Like This?
Anywhere that gets direct sun during the day and is seen at night. Popular spots are beside the front door to welcome visitors, along a garden path, in a garden bed among plants, at the edge of a patio or on a balcony in a large pot. Several bells along a path make a striking display.
How Do Solar Christmas Lights Work?
The solar panel turns sunlight into power and stores it in the built-in rechargeable battery. When it gets dark, a light sensor switches the light on, and it runs on the stored charge. For the best results, place the panel where it gets several hours of direct sun, wipe it clean now and then, and give it a full sunny day to charge before the first night. Cloudy days mean a shorter glow.
Do Solar Christmas Lights Work in Australia?
Very well - December is summer in Australia, with long, bright days that are ideal for charging. The light turns on later in the evening than in winter because it waits for dark, which suits Christmas evenings outdoors. Avoid placing the panel under trees or eaves that shade it for most of the day.
Buyers are typically households decorating a front garden or entrance for Christmas, people who want outdoor Christmas lights without running power cords, renters and apartment dwellers decorating a balcony, and shoppers looking for a festive gift for a keen gardener.
