Exhart (brand)

Its playful decorative stakes add color and personality to garden beds without taking up much planting space.

Not for: Minimalist gardens or anyone seeking functional landscape lighting.

Regal Art & Gift (brand)

Regal Art & Gift specializes in kinetic spinners that turn smoothly in light wind.

Not for: Very windy, exposed sites where spinning parts can bend or loosen.

Ground spike. Use a long, rigid spike or a multi-prong base. Avoid a single thin rod. Top-heavy stakes lean or tip after rain softens the soil.
Solar battery. Choose a replaceable rechargeable battery, such as a standard AA rechargeable cell. Sealed batteries end the light's life when they wear out.
Finish. Powder-coated or galvanized metal, or UV-resistant resin. Painted finishes chip and fade quickly in full sun.
