Paw Print Solar Garden Light

A small piece of garden character rather than a serious floodlight. The head is cut as a dog's paw, four toes and a pad, and it glows evenly across the whole shape once the light drops. Set two or three in sequence along a border and they read as a trail of prints heading up the garden, which is the sort of detail people notice and comment on.

Warm white gives a steady amber glow that sits well with brick, timber and planting. The multicoloured version drifts slowly through a range of shades instead, which suits a play area or a summer evening with friends over. Either way the panel charges through the day and the light switches itself on at dusk, so nothing needs remembering.

The stake pushes into soft soil or a filled container, and the housing is built to stay out in rain, sun and frost without discolouring. As with any garden stake, push it fully into the ground and site it clear of walkways so that it is never a trip hazard in the dark, and keep it well out of reach of dogs or small children inclined to chew or pull at it, since it is a decorative light rather than a toy.
