Lights for paths
I recently saw lamps on sale (they are inserted into the ground) that are charged during the day from the sun and illuminate the paths at night. Has anyone bought these? How practical are they?

Irina, I’ve had these for a long time. In the summer they will be two years old. Moreover, they stand all year round, in the winter, however, there is light for no more than an hour, now until 9 pm, and in the summer until 1 am. They don’t care about precipitation. You can mount them on trees - they’re just beautiful! I recommend .
Such light bulbs come in different forms, including lanterns, flowers, and butterflies. There are also stones that can accumulate light and glow in the evening.
I have these light bulbs in the shape of birds. Work great at any time of the year. Plus, I bought “stones” for them. They show the boundaries of the path well and look natural!
Such garden solar lanterns in the summer, after a long day and charging the batteries, shine for about 3 hours, and they illuminate not the garden and the path, but only a small place near you. In spring and autumn, when the days are short, this lamp will shine for no more than two hours.
We bought this light bulb in the shape of a dragonfly for the balcony. It will glow with all the colors of the rainbow, this will be the third summer (I hope). The light from it is natural, not bright, but it is just decorative, and those that are more powerful will most likely shine brighter. By the way, these are very convenient light bulbs.Even on a cloudy day they manage to accumulate energy to provide light at night
We have 8 of them in our garden. But we take them away for the winter. Don't take the advice about leaving them over the winter. Inside these flashlights there is a battery and several wires to the light bulb. If the battery oxidizes or the thin wires rot, throw the flashlight in the trash. The lantern must be kept in a dry room; rain does not bother them, but frost and everything else has a bad effect on the equipment.
Yes, you watch American or European films - there is such beauty before Christmas in front of every house - like in a fairy tale. Everyone wants to make the same fairy tale at home, but we have all the problems.
You couldn't imagine a better time for the New Year. Nowadays, many people are going to celebrate at the dacha, but somehow they don’t want to pull the wire through the snow. We had these for the winter at our dacha for several years, and everything worked great. And there are such garlands, they are safe
I think they will fit perfectly with such paths, they are quite stylish, plus they are easy to match the color of the tiles
I think it's better to use LED bulbs. They are the least energy-intensive and practically do not heat up. They illuminate the necessary spaces well and are mega durable. Here there is a large selection of lamps; if LED lamps are not suitable, you can always look for an alternative.
we bought. well they are so-so
Of course, it’s so-so, because they shine dimly and not for long, since charging the batteries from the solar battery only lasts for a few hours.In addition, if the lights are left in the cold during the winter, the batteries will charge very poorly and the lamps will shine for about an hour.
There are cheap options for such lamps, but they also shine accordingly. The path to the toilet can be illuminated, but no more. And there are expensive lamps, they shine brightly, for a long time, these are the ones they show us in films. My friend’s cheap ones have been shining in her yard for five years now, both in winter and in summer, and they are not going to “break.”
To properly illuminate a garden path, you need to install electrical wiring on poles, or lay a cable in the ground to the lamps, and solar cell lamps are a waste of money.
they shine so-so. to highlight a flower, yes, it will work, but if it’s a path, then definitely not
