An important point to consider with decorative solar lights is that they are meant only for decoration. They are not designed to illuminate a pathway or provide security lighting.

Ideally, they should be used as a small novelty that may cheer up an otherwise dull appearance.

Placing them in a shaded area will do very little for the efficacy of the solar lights during night time and the lifetime of the batteries will be reduced.

These decorative solar lights are really fantastic. They slowly change color through the colors of the rainbow.

They sit atop a stick and so you can simply stick them in the ground anywhere you like. They provide a very attractive focal point and have a truly magical look about them. Placed them amidst your bushes or low-level grasses and these butterfly or hummingbird solar lights will illuminate as dusk arrives.

Decorative solar lights are designed to augment a feature that you may have and just add that extra something. As with all solar lights they will need to be placed in an area where they will receive sunshine throughout the day.
