The idea of hanging twinkly lights around the garden is a great one. Unfortunately regular fairy lights are liable to short-circuit the second you unfurl the mains lead extension. Not so our hassle-free Solar Powered Fairy Lights.

The clue's in the name because these magical lights are powered by one of the hottest stars in the universe. No, not Jessica Alba (although that would be good). We're talking about the sun. So as well as being eco-friendly, you won't have to run cables out the back door or risk electrocuting your guests come nightfall.

Thanks to ultra bright LEDs, any outdoor space will be transformed into an enchanting grotto of twinkliness. The effect is utterly captivating. Use them to decorate branches, doorways, trellises, shrubs, parasols, statues of Bill Oddie - whatever. Squint and you could be in Neverland (fictional dream world, not Jacko's gaff).

There are six different modes to choose from, including constant, fast flash, slow flash, fast flicker, chasing and combo. There's even a built-in automatic dusk sensor plus various timer settings so you can program your lights to switch off once you've gone to beddy byes.


But what about the solar power stuff, we hear you ask? Well, a five hour charge gives about eight hours of power. So unless you're planning to party all night in Antarctica, you're laughing. Speaking of partying, there's no need to cry over spilt beer or crummy weather because the powerful battery is encased in waterproof housing. Leave it outside all year round. Result.

Short of training a load of glow worms to squirm around the garden in formation, we can think of no better way to add a touch of glimmer-glamour to your outdoor soirees. You'll wonder why you ever bothered with pesky mains powered party lights. So get ordering and prepare to be dazzled.
