Looking after it

Hose them down when the driveway gets washed. Keep the panels clear of leaves. If an adhesive-mounted one lifts, clean both faces before it goes back down.

Four heavy-duty solar ground lights that light in both directions.

ABS body, IP65, and 12 to 15 hours of light a night. Stake them, lay them flat or stick them down.

A four pack of heavy-duty solar ground lights that throw light in both directions.

Premium ABS construction with an IP65 rating.

They run 12 to 15 hours of continuous light through the night.

Three ways to fit them: a stake into soil, flush against concrete, pavers or decking, or adhesive backing pressed down for thirty seconds.

They handle rain, snowfall, coastal humidity, a hose-down and temperature extremes from freezing to scorching.

Drive Way Lights

Bidirectional is the feature that matters on a driveway. A light that throws both ways marks the edge from a car coming in and from a car going out, and one row does the work of two.

Drive Way Lights

Twelve to fifteen hours is longer than any of the other solar lights here, which is what you want on a driveway that has to still be lit at five in the morning.

Drive Way Lights

Three fittings cover the three surfaces a driveway actually has. The stake goes into soil or ground cover, the flush mount sits flat on concrete, pavers or decking, and the adhesive backing handles the rest. Press the adhesive down for a full thirty seconds.

Drive Way Lights

IP65 in ABS means downpours without water getting in, snowfall, coastal humidity, and a hose when they get dirty. The stated range runs from freezing to scorching.

Drive Way Lights

There is no wiring and no electrician, which on a driveway is the whole argument for solar: no trench across the concrete.

Not sure yet? That is fine.

You can change your mind. Change of mind is not a legal right in Australia, so the 15 days we give you from delivery is our own policy rather than a statutory return, and the goods have to come back in resaleable condition. We refund the price you paid, including standard delivery.

If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. Under the Australian Consumer Law our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded: they must be of acceptable quality, match their description, and do what we said they would. If they do not, you are entitled to a repair, a replacement or a refund, and to compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss. For a major failure the choice between a refund and a replacement is yours, not ours. We pay the return postage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are Solar Pathway Lights?

Solar pathway lights are self-contained outdoor lighting fixtures that harness energy from the sun during the day and automatically illuminate your outdoor spaces at night. Unlike traditional landscape lighting that requires electrical wiring and draws power from your home's grid, solar lights operate completely independently using photovoltaic panels, rechargeable batteries, and intelligent light sensors.

What Does IP65 Mean?

The IP (Ingress Protection) rating system measures how well an enclosure protects against solid particles and liquids:

How long do solar pathway lights last?

Quality solar pathway lights typically last 3-5 years or longer with proper maintenance. LED bulbs can last 50,000+ hours (over 15 years of nightly use), but batteries usually require replacement every 2-3 years. High-quality construction materials ensure the housing and solar panels maintain functionality and appearance throughout the light's lifespan.

Do solar lights work in winter or cloudy weather?

Yes, solar lights continue operating in winter and cloudy conditions, though performance may be reduced. High-efficiency monocrystalline panels collect energy even from diffused sunlight. Runtime may decrease during extended cloudy periods, but quality lights typically store enough charge to provide at least partial illumination throughout the night.

Can solar lights withstand vehicle traffic?

Premium heavy-duty solar pathway lights engineered to withstand 3 tons of pressure can absolutely handle vehicle traffic. These industrial-strength lights are specifically designed for driveway installation where cars, trucks, and even heavier vehicles regularly pass over them. Standard decorative solar lights lack this capability and should not be installed in vehicle paths.

How bright are solar pathway lights?

Solar pathway lights typically produce 5-50 lumens, with most quality options in the 10-20 lumen range. This provides sufficient illumination for safe navigation without creating harsh glare. For comparison, a 60-watt incandescent bulb produces about 800 lumens, while pathway lights aim for subtle accent lighting rather than flood illumination.

Do I need to turn solar lights on and off manually?

No. Quality solar pathway lights feature automatic sensors that turn lights on at dusk and off at dawn without any manual intervention. Once installed and activated, they operate autonomously every night. Some models include manual on/off switches for situations where you want to disable operation temporarily.

How far apart should I space solar pathway lights?

Space solar pathway lights 6-8 feet apart along pathways for consistent illumination without dark gaps. Adjust spacing based on light brightness, higher lumen output allows slightly wider spacing, while lower output requires closer placement. For decorative applications, spacing is more flexible and depends on your desired aesthetic effect.

Can I install solar lights on concrete or pavers?

Yes, many solar pathway lights are designed for installation on hard surfaces including concrete, pavers, decking, and asphalt. Flush-mount designs sit flat against surfaces, while some models include adhesive backing or mounting hardware for secure attachment. Ensure the solar panel receives adequate sun exposure regardless of mounting surface.

How do I clean solar pathway lights?

Clean solar panels monthly with a damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, pollen, and debris that reduce charging efficiency. Clean light covers with mild soap and water to maintain brightness. Avoid abrasive cleaners that might scratch surfaces. Remove leaves, snow, or other obstructions that block solar panels or light output.

Are solar pathway lights worth the investment?

Solar pathway lights offer excellent value considering zero electricity costs, no installation expenses, minimal maintenance, and years of reliable operation. While initial purchase prices may be higher than basic traditional lighting, the absence of ongoing costs and professional installation requirements typically results in lower total cost of ownership within the first year.

What happens when the battery dies?

When rechargeable batteries reach the end of their 2-3 year lifespan, runtime decreases noticeably. Most quality solar lights feature accessible battery compartments allowing simple replacement. Purchase equivalent capacity batteries (same voltage and mAh rating) from hardware stores or online retailers. Properly dispose of depleted batteries at recycling facilities.

Is it weatherproof?

IP65.

How long does it run for?

12 to 15 hours.

Do I need an electrician?

No. There is no mains wiring involved in this one, so you can install it yourself.

Are bulbs included?

The LED is integrated, so there is no bulb to buy or replace.

Can I use it with a dimmer?

No. It is not a mains fitting on a dimmer circuit, so there is nothing to dim it with.

Does it come with a warranty?

Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law apply to every order: the goods have to be of acceptable quality, match their description and do what we said they would. Nothing on this site limits that.

Can I use it outdoors?

Yes, it is made for outdoors.

What is the price in the cart?

AUD 77 including GST for this line. The higher figure beside it is the price this store was charging before.

Do you charge the same price everywhere?

This page describes what we hold and charge in Australia, in Australian dollars including GST. Modern Light Company runs stores in several countries and the ranges and the prices differ between them.

Can I order more than one and have them match?

Yes. Ordering them together is the safest way to get the same batch, which matters most on finishes and on anything with a colour temperature.

What happens after I order?

You get a receipt by email straight away, we pick and pack within 24 to 48 hours, and you get a second email with a tracking number when it ships.

What currency are your prices in?

Australian dollars, and every price on the site already includes GST.

How much is delivery?

Delivery is free on orders of $100 or more. Below that it is a flat $33 including GST.

How long does delivery take?

Five to seven days across Australia, after a 24 to 48 hour handling time while the order is picked and packed.

Do you deliver everywhere in Australia?

Yes. We deliver right across the country, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, the Gold Coast, Canberra, Newcastle, Wollongong, Hobart and Darwin.

Will I get a tracking number?

Yes. You get a receipt by email when you pay, and a second email with a tracking number once the order ships.

Which payment methods do you take?

Card payments through Stripe, and PayPal.

Do you have a shop I can visit?

No. We sell online only, with no physical shop or showroom.
