Solar Bamboo Flame Lights 2 Pack

Bamboo torches with twelve LEDs each, flickering in a pattern that reads convincingly as flame from a few metres away. The bamboo body is what sells it: a plastic torch never quite looks right, but real bamboo has the texture and colour of something that belongs in a garden.

Solar powered, so they charge through the day and come on automatically at dusk with no wiring and nothing to switch. That means they can go anywhere in a garden, including the far corners where running a cable would never be worth the effort. The flicker pattern varies slightly between the two lights, which is part of what makes them look like an actual flame rather than a fixed LED effect.

Sold as a pair, which is how they read best: two marking a path, framing a doorway or standing either side of a seating area. Site them where the panels get direct sun, since a torch in the shade of a tree will be dark by evening. Bring them under cover through the worst of winter to extend their life. Push the stakes into firm soil rather than loose mulch, and check they are still upright after heavy rain has softened the ground. Twelve LEDs each is enough for a warm accent rather than a bright one, so don't expect them to double as security lighting.
