With summer just around the corner, many of us are sprucing up our gardens to create the ultimate spot for friends to gather and soak up the warmer evenings. Although the days are longer, with sunsets coming after 9pm, those who enjoy an outdoor drink after dinner will need some form of lighting to maintain the atmosphere.
Solar lights are a fantastic solution, as they require neither mains electricity nor batteries to function, drawing their power entirely from sunlight — far less hassle than fiddling about with wires. While festoon lights are perfect for illuminating larger areas and pergolas, for those who love a touch of charm in their outdoor spaces, we’ve discovered a delightful hanging light ornament featuring six bulbs, currently on sale for £5.99.
Bringing a playful element to any garden, the Solar Hot Air Balloon Hanging Light, described as being ‘whimsical’, is a striking outdoor feature that comes with six LED hot air balloons suspended at varying heights to create a rippling wave effect.

Designed to create ‘a warm and inviting ambience’, the light produces a ‘warm white glow’ and can effortlessly be hung from a tree or hook, weighing just 136g. With each bulb adorned in a distinct ombre colour scheme, ranging from red and orange to blue, it makes for a charming focal point that injects personality and flair into any outdoor setting.
The bulbs, true to their name, also boast an endearing decorative basket underneath to mimic the look of a hot air balloon, while the bulb itself features indentations that reflect the classic balloon design.

The Solar Hot Air Balloon Hanging Light features six bulbs and is currently on sale.
While these balloon-themed lights are charming and attractive, those seeking a more eye-catching garden feature might prefer Argos’ Warm White Starburst Solar Stake Light, £10, which creates a dramatic starburst light effect that is solar powered and switches on automatically at dusk, reports the Manchester Evening News.
It’s worth bearing in mind that, owing to the Solar Hot Air Balloon Hanging Light bulbs’ colouring, the ornament may not emit as much light as sharper, transparent bulbs. That said, this is perfect for those wanting the light for ambience, rather than something a bit more functional.
However, those who want something slightly more conventional with clear bulbs can’t go wrong with a string of festoon lights, like these from Amazon (£34.99), which span a greater area measuring 25ft and would be perfect for surrounding a BBQ setup – such as this Texas Smoker BBQ from The Range, which has been reduced from £169.99 to £99.99.
That said, we can picture this hanging light looking absolutely stunning suspended above a furniture set, such as the Avalon 5 Piece Rattan Sofa Set, which has been reduced by £50, now priced at £349.99 down from £399.99.
Made up of two sofas, two ottomans, and a side table, this outdoor furniture collection is modular, allowing it to be rearranged and configured to suit whatever gathering you’re hosting.

With the World Cup just days away, this makes it an excellent choice for those who enjoy entertaining, as it would be perfect for screening the match outdoors on a projector – such as this Sensei Indoor WiFi Projector, £34.99 down from £49.99.
Combined with the brand’s 37L Cooler Bar Table Cooler Side Table (now £69.95 from £79.95), featuring its extendable table top and generous capacity that keeps drinks chilled for up to six hours, it’s an outdoor entertaining essential for when warmer weather arrives.
While these items don’t yet have any customer feedback on The Range’s website, on TrustPilot several products have earned glowing reviews from buyers, with one shopper leaving a five star review which read: “I’ve been shopping around for a corner garden set for a while and thought I’d have to spend nearly two thousand pounds for something decent but couldn’t believe how good this set was for comfort and build quality for under five hundred pounds, it was a no brainer.”
Regarding the brand’s solar lights, one user commented: “I have tried to get four more of these lovely solar hanging lights since last year. They look fantastic and are an excellent product.”
While the majority of customers were delighted with their lights, some shoppers deducted stars for faulty bulbs — including one three-star review, which read: “When I received my solar lights, one didn’t work and I had to take the rechargeable battery out and put in one of my own.”
Nevertheless, another satisfied customer shared their thoughts on the solar lights, adding: “It was the first time I’ve ordered from The Range and in it was easy to do, I ordered some solar balloons and I wasn’t disappointed, they were very vibrant in colour.”
