Solar Garden Lights FAQs

For pathways, space lights 1.5-2m apart. For borders, every 2-3m creates a nice effect. For general garden illumination, start with 6-10 lights and add more as needed.
Quality solar lights run 8-12 hours on a full charge. Runtime depends on battery capacity, LED wattage, and how much sun the panel received during the day.
Solar lights work excellently in South Africa due to high solar irradiance levels (4.5-6.5 kWh/m²/day). Even on cloudy days, most panels charge sufficiently for 6+ hours of light.
