With the festive season ahead, decorations become necessary, but it needs to be kept in mind that Diwali decorations do not need to run up your electricity bill. This is the reason solar lights are the best option, as they charge during the day and switch on by themselves once it gets dark.
Here are five different types of solar lights that can brighten up your Diwali this year without burning a hole in your pocket.
CBK Solar Fairy String Light
This is a good all-round choice for Diwali. It has 200 LEDs on a 20-meter copper wire, an inbuilt rechargeable battery, and 8 lighting modes such as twinkle and fade.
It is IP65 waterproof, so it works fine on balconies, gates, and trees even in light rain.
GIGAWATTS LED Solar Fairy String Light, Flower Design
This one is made especially with Diwali and festival decoration in mind. It has 100 LEDs shaped like small flowers on a 10-meter copper wire, and it comes with a solar panel that charges during the day.
It looks good wrapped around pots, railings, and small plants.
Lifelong Solar Light for Outdoor Garden
This is a strong pick for the main gate or driveway. It has a 6000mAh battery, 1200 lumens of brightness, a motion sensor, and a remote control.
Since it is meant for gates, yards, and pillars, it works well as both a Diwali decoration light and a regular security light for the rest of the year.

Let There Be Light, the Solar Way This Diwali
Here are a few things that need to be checked before buying these solar lights. The first and most important thing is to check the battery capacity in mAh, since a higher number usually means longer runtime after sunset.
Other than that, look for an IP65 or higher waterproof rating if the lights will stay outdoors. For a long-lasting experience, check how many hours of direct sunlight the product needs for a full charge, since cloudy days can reduce the runtime.
With these six types covered, from soft fairy lights to bright flood lights, you should be able to set up a festive look for both the inside and outside of your home this Diwali.
FAQs
Do solar lights work well during Diwali if it is cloudy?
Yes, but they may not charge fully, so it helps to also charge them a little through USB if the light supports it.
How many hours do solar lights usually stay on at night?
Most solar Diwali lights stay lit for around 6 to 10 hours after a full day of sunlight.
Are solar lights safe to use around children and pets?
Yes, since they run on low-voltage battery power and do not get hot like traditional bulbs or diyas.
