Outdoor solar lights are certainly a smart solution – not only do they save energy, but they prevent the hassle of relying on cords. But until now, the lights on the market have not only been expensive, they’ve hardly been easy on the eyes. New this season, Ikea brings us SOLIG, a whole range of solar lights, and as you can imagine, they are smartly designed, simply chic, and very affordable. Prices range from $7 to $20, and the lights are available in a range of styles and sizes. Outdoor entertaining was never so easy! See some of our favorites, below:
Solar-Operated Cell Light Chain
These hanging chain lights (above) create a mystical feeling whether fastened underneath an umbrella, dangling through the branches of a tree, or lining a porch overhang. Only $20 for a strand. Ikea.com
Solar-Operated Lighting Cylinder
For just $20 each, these yellow, white, and orange lanterns are the perfect addition to your deck or outdoor space, and you won’t have to worry about candles or electrical lighting. Long and cylindrical, these lanterns are lovely hanging from a tree—you might just make the neighbors jealous! Ikea.com
