B&M Cuts Prices on Solar Garden Lights, Including £7.50 String Set

Seasonal markdowns push wire-free, auto-on solar lights into stores, prompting shoppers to check local stock.

Overview

  • Retail listings published on Sunday, May 24, 2026, show B&M has reduced several solar garden lights, notably a Solar Powered Large String Hanging Light now £7.50 and a Solar Powered Acrylic Crystal Chandelier now £14.
  • B&M’s product pages and spokesperson detail that the lights charge by day, switch on automatically at dusk, use rechargeable batteries and need no wiring for installation.
  • Some discounted items are listed as in-store collection only, so shoppers are advised to check availability at their local branch before travelling.
  • Coverage highlights the price gap with higher-cost alternatives, such as visually similar designs sold by Argos for around £34, and notes other budget options at rival discounters including Home Bargains.
  • The cuts reflect typical seasonal retail tactics to drive footfall for summer garden shopping and give budget-conscious buyers a low-cost way to add ambient, energy-saving lighting to outdoor spaces.
