The Best Solar Deck Lights of 2023

With a flexible and waterproof construction, these rope lights from Brightown are an excellent choice for wrapping around deck railings or installing as under-rail lighting. For our testing, we chose the first and loved the subtle ambiance it gave to our evening decor. The slim strand measures 72 feet, so we easily wrapped most of our deck. We attached the solar panel to the side of the deck, but it can also be kept in place using the included ground stake. These features make this option perfect for fences as well. To suit different preferences, users can choose from eight lighting modes. Our favorite was the warm white color temperature, which was less orange than it appeared in the online photos.

This rope light, made of a copper wire light strand encased inside an ultra-thin waterproof PVC membrane, felt durable and held up nicely to the elements. This design gives it an IP65 rating, making it suitable for rainy and wet areas. Once installed, this light needs only 4 to 6 hours of charging to provide up to 10 hours of light. It lasted well into the night during our testing.
