Outdoor solar lights are becoming a popular option for many homeowners. Which one should you go with? We will review five of the top solar light models on the market to give you a solid idea of what is out there.

1. Baxia Solar Night Light

This impressive solar light has 12 LED’s that provide excellent illumination over a large area. It boasts a simple and reliable design that has a small footprint while outputting a surprising amount of light.

One important consideration before purchasing this model is that it only turns on when movement is detected. This feature is good in that it saves battery power, but some users would prefer their light to be on all night for aesthetic reasons.

In Medium Light Mode, this unit will turn on when it gets dark outside.

In Dim Light Sensor Mode, this unit will turn on 24 out of the 54 LED’s when it gets dark outside. In this mode, if the unit also detects motion while it’s dark out, then all 54 LED’s will turn on to provide full illumination.

In Sensor Mode, this unit will only turn on at night when there is motion. Otherwise, all LED’s will be off.
