I tested solar-powered lights from high street shops – the winner also gets rid of pesky insects

THE best solar lights are a great way to brighten up your garden for summer.

As well as creating a nice ambience, they can also add an extra layer of security around your home.

And as they are powered by the sun, they are eco-friendly too.

Solar lighting can, however, be a little hit and miss, shining brightly one day, but looking dull as the great British summer the next.
