Load Shedding, Sorted
Solar Was Made For This
Your solar lights charge from the sun, not the grid, so they're already part of a solid load shedding setup. Pair them with rechargeable lanterns and candles for a kit that covers every room.
Let's Talk Solar
What are the best solar lights for outdoor entertaining in South Africa?
For entertaining areas, our solar festoon and string lights are the top pick, they carry the largest solar panel in their category on the South African market for faster charging and longer glow time, plus a remote for easy on/off. Pair them with a solar lantern or two on the table for layered light without a single cord in sight.
What are the best solar garden lanterns for evening lighting?
Our solar lantern range covers freestanding pathway lanterns, hanging styles, and tabletop options, all designed to charge during the day and switch on automatically at dusk. They're a simple way to add ambient light along a path or table without running an extension cord outside.
Are there solar lights suitable for indoor use, or for load-shedding backup?
Yes, our solar lanterns and rechargeable range work just as well indoors as outdoors. Charge them near a window or outside during the day, then bring them in at night for hallway, kitchen or bedroom lighting. Our solar panels and lanterns also have a USB-C backup, so you can top them up on an overcast day or straight from a power bank, a genuinely useful load-shedding backup that needs no generator or inverter.
Do you sell solar-powered candles for a dining table?
Our flameless LED candle collection includes battery options with a warm, flickering glow, a safer alternative to a real flame for a table setting, indoors or under cover outside.
Which solar lights are best for a balcony?
Our solar lanterns and smaller solar string light sets suit balcony spaces well, compact enough for a table or railing, and bright enough on a single day's charge to carry you through the evening.
Are your solar lights waterproof enough for a garden pathway?
It depends on the product, our solar range spans IP44 (fine for covered or sheltered spots) right up to IP66 in the Ultimate Collection, built for full, permanent outdoor exposure. Check the IP rating on each listing, or go straight for the Ultimate range if the lights will sit fully exposed to the weather year-round.
What makes Stellar Lighting's solar festoon lights different?
Our bestselling solar festoon lights feature the largest solar panel in their category on the South African market, for faster charging and a longer glow, plus a remote control so you're not walking out to the panel every evening to switch them on.
Do you sell solar string lights for garden fences?
Yes, our solar string lights are a popular choice for fences and boundary walls since there's no need for a nearby plug point, just position the panel where it gets good sun during the day.
