A dimly lit backyard is not as secure or useful as it could be, and solar lights are the easiest way to rectify the problem. Without wires to run, installation is a matter of screwing a bracket to a pole, shed, the side of your house, or any other vertical surface. And once they’re in place, solar lights can scare off wild animals and burglars and allow your backyard entertaining to continue after the sun goes down. Thanks in part to advances in solar technology, solar lights are cheaper than ever before. That includes a pair on sale at Walmart for a limited time.
A pair of the UME Solar Outdoor Lights is on sale for $21 at Walmart, 39% off its normal $35 price tag. This flash deal is good on the black option, as the gray has already sold out, so we wouldn’t expect it to last beyond the end of the week assuming it doesn’t sell out before then.
This lighting unit features a high-efficiency solar panel on top, an 1800mAh battery behind three LED arrays in the middle, and a motion detector on the bottom. It’s made of durable plastic that’s IP65 waterproof and resistant to heat, frost, wind, and rust. The motion sensor can detect movement up to 60 feet away within a 180-degree range. A button on the back allows you to cycle through the three available lighting modes, each of which is only operational at night, with charging happening during the day. Overall, this feature set is solid and pretty standard; the sale price is what makes grabbing these lights an urgent proposition, as we haven’t seen lights this well-reviewed and in this still for a price this low in quite some time.
