Solar Lighting - table lights
 
I saw some great patio table lights at Rona yesterday that I absolutely love, except they are plug ins. Does anyone know of any place that sells solar table lights that are decorative? I'm not looking for umbrella lights or stick on lights, something like a small table lamp but solar powered. Superstore had some lantern type ones, but they aren't "perfect".

I've checked Rona, Canadian tire, lighting stores (websites only), garden centers. Any ideas would be awesome! Thanks

Golden acres, sunny side, barbecues galore has patio stuff. JYSK or ikea also has patio things.

If you like more artsy stuff, check out Etsy....if you just search "solar lantern" there are lots of options...even some cool mason jar types that have this beautiful watery coloured glass...sigh... Here is one example, I love the upcycled look of the mason jars...not sure if that's your style or not. I love Etsy because it's usually reasonably priced and one of a kind :)

A more sophisticated (expensive) option from Frontgate :) http://www.frontgate.com/metropolita...lantern/663129

This is what I'm looking for - love this, but its for the floor... will go check them out, hopefully they have them in store! Would like something similar for a table.

Wow, not at all what I had envisioned...I didn't see anything like that on Etsy either. If I see anything like that I will let you know.

Rona has table ones similar and they are so pretty. I need 12. I loved the one lantern you posted but it looks Large!

We have some other ideas which may work and be so much less expensive. Keep looking, I have friend who's looking and has come up with some great things. I am searching everything. Would be such an simple thing to create, solar power has come a long way....

There's all kinds of tutorials on how to convert to solar power, but I don't know how that would work for the branch idea. I am pretty good at tracking things down, if I see something I will defs let you know :) You gave me a great idea, I think I may get some of those blue mason jar solar lights to hang around my yard at the lake! Thanks!

Those ones from Frontgate are nice, but really expensive. All it would take is one Calgary wind storm to destroy it too...

The mason jars are neat, but not quite what I'm looking for. We have paper ball lights we string up when camping. Lots of different solar string lights available.

I've had those oil torches for our deck at home and ya, one good wind and they were done for. And that was sitting on the deck, not a table. If I had a more permanent camping spot, we'd add more, but we like to roam around to different sites.

Don't look too hard at this point, we have come up with something else that will work.
Thanks
