Test Rite Bollard Solar Rotating Lights

The scoop

New clearance find: the Test Rite Bollard Solar Rotating Lights. If you’ve been eyeing up your front walkway for a lighting upgrade, this could be worth a detour down the aisle.

This 4-pack of solar pathway lights features a metal cutout design that throws a warm glow pattern onto the ground and surrounding area. Each bollard uses a built-in solar panel and 600mAh battery to charge during the day and light up automatically at night, with a patented 360-degree rotating light effect and two brightness settings to choose from.

Priced out, that works out to under $4 per light for a solar fixture with a moving light effect – a pretty reasonable ask if the rotating feature works as advertised. Metal construction also suggests these should hold up better outdoors than flimsier plastic solar stake lights.

Solar lighting like this tends to get marked down as outdoor/seasonal inventory rotates, especially once warehouses start shifting focus toward fall and winter merchandise. That means what’s on the shelf now may not get restocked, so if the look works for your yard, don’t expect a second chance later in the season.

Bottom line: a decently priced way to add some glow to a walkway or garden bed without running electrical. Would this rotating light effect be enough to get you to swap out your current pathway lights?
