If you want to upgrade the looks of your patio or yard without going into the hassles of wiring and recharging, then outdoor solar table lamps are the solution. These lamps are large enough to light up your patio table or gazebo in a soft glow. As long as they receive their share of daily sunlight, they will do the deed of lighting up your yard and patio.

Solar table lamps are ideal for you if your yard or patio receives strong sunlight throughout the day as it facilitates easy charging. The good thing is that some lights automatically come with dawn and dusk sensors and lights. And yes, outdoor solar lights do not burn a hole in the pocket.

So if you want to light up your yard, here are the best outdoor solar table lamps you can buy. But before that,

If you want to keep things simple and small, you can’t go wrong with the Pearstar solar lights. These lights are rated IP44 and are waterproof and dustproof to some extent. These nifty lights come with a dawn/dusk sensor and switch on automatically after sunset. For the price, they pack a sharp look. Interestingly, these small lantern-shaped lights are usable as tabletop or hanging lights.

While the light is not overly bright, it’s bright enough to light up the area. When fully charged, the lights can live through most of the night. However, you will have to ensure that the lights are fueled fully during the day.

The Pearlstar light is not perfect, but it does the deed of lighting up your garden in a warm and cozy light. If you do not want to spend much yet want to give solar lights a try, these are good picks.

The highlight of the Esgarden light is its beautiful Moroccan lamp-like design. The cutouts on this lamp ensure that the table lights up in beautiful patterns. It’s a versatile lantern and doubles up as a hanging and tabletop light.

It’s lightweight, and the accent light is enough to cast a beautiful glow. And several users have complimented this feature. Like the one above, you have to take care of charging it throughout the day. Interestingly, this light soaks up enough solar energy during cloudy days to last a few hours into the night.

It lasts well into the night when appropriately charged, and quite a few users have pointed this out in their reviews. Moreover, it’s lightweight and durable and makes for great gifts.

The Shumi LED solar table lamp brings the best of both worlds. Not only is it affordable, but it also packs several nifty features. Above all, the shape and size make it the perfect table lamp for patios. It has three brightness levels. Secondly, it has a sturdy rustproof base and an IP44 Ingress Protection rating, making it safe from dust and water damage (to some extent).

The Shumi table lamp comes with the traditional method of a metal chain to switch it on/off. This chain also lets you adjust the brightness levels. While the light is not bright enough to read books, you can easily see people’s faces or things around.

This solar-powered outdoor table lamp is medium-sized and boasts good charging prowess. On a full charge, it lasts up to 8 hours. But of course, a lot of it depends on the sun’s intensity and the cloud cover.

It’s popular on Amazon, and users love its solid design and bright light. Moreover, the rustproof and elegant design makes it the perfect accessory for patio tables.

Another outdoor solar table lamp is the one by Letry. This versatile lamp packs an industrial design, making it excellent for backyard and patio tables. Like the one above, it comes with 3 brightness levels. More importantly, it packs dual charging mechanisms—Solar and USB.

So, if you need to stay on at full brightness for long hours (say a BBQ party), you can charge it via USB. And on other days, you can leave it out on the window sill to soak in sunlight.

The battery life is excellent, and when fully charged, it can last up to 70 hours in the low mode. And yes, like the one above, it has an Ingress Protection rating of IP44.

If you do not mind spending a few bucks more, the Letry solar lantern proves to be a clever investment. It doubles up as a patio light, hanging light during camping, and a handheld light during treks & hikes. Just make sure to charge it well, and you will be safe.

The TomCare Solar Light is one of the popular outdoor solar lights on Amazon.

It can stay on throughout the night when fully charged, and several users have complimented this feature.

The best part is that this light charges well in daylight and doesn’t need direct sunlight to recharge. At the same time, it is built well and lasts long, provided you take good care of it.

The TomCare solar light is rated at IP65 and holds up well during snow and rain. However, we’d urge you to stow them well if it rains or snows heavily.

As noted earlier, they are pretty popular on Amazon and have amassed many positive user reviews for the style, bright light, and the real-like flickering effect.

These were some cool outdoor solar table lamps that you can buy. While most of these lamps are water and dust-proof, we’d urge you to remove them if the weather stations predict severe weather.

If you want the best deal for your money, the Shumi LED Solar Table Lamp and the Lerky Solar Lantern is your best bet. They were a little expensive, but you can rest assured that the lights won’t give out soon. And the dimmable feature means that you will have enough light throughout the night.
