How do Solar Ground Lights install without wiring?

Solar Ground Lights are a solar path light that goes in without wiring, digging or an electrician. They rely on photovoltaic panels to store power during the day. For soft ground, use the two cross-connecting spikes in the box. For decks or steps, remove the spikes and screw the light down flat. Learn more about landscape lighting strategies in the main guide.

How long do the lights stay illuminated at night?

Each disk provides six to eight hours of light from one full day of sun. Eight warm-white LEDs per light for a bright, even glow turn on automatically at dusk thanks to an integrated automatic dusk-to-dawn light sensor.

Can Solar Ground Lights be left outside during winter?

Yes. An improved hermetic seal keeps out rain, snow, frost and sleet, so it can stay outside all year. The durable housing is designed to perform in temperatures ranging from -20°C (-4°F) to 50°C (122°F).

Can I run my lawn mower over these ground lights?

Yes. When pressed fully into soil, each disk sits flush, so there is nothing to trip over or mow into. You can trim your lawn normally without removing the lights.

What surfaces can these lights be mounted to?

It is 2-in-1 by design: press it into soil on the two cross-connecting spikes in the box, or take the spikes off and screw it flat onto decking, a stair tread or a board. This suits paths, driveways, lawns, patios, decking and steps.
