Some of the types of solar yard lights that are available include string lights, fairy lights, net lights, solar flood lights, and decorative or camouflaged items with lights built in. You can also find solar lights that are designed to be attached to your letter box to light up your house number at night.

One of the simplest alternatives to solar post lights is a hanging solar light. Hanging solar lights come in a lot of varieties including versions with built in bug catchers and even some that double as bird baths. You can find some lovely designs, they aren’t all just steel and glass. Look out for vintage-inspired solar hanging lights if you are going for a classic look in your garden!
