1. Solar vs battery vs plug-in

Solar suits paths with daytime sun; battery lanterns move to tables; plug-in needs outdoor-rated points and weather covers.

2. IP rating and materials

Look for IP44+ for covered decks; higher for exposed posts. Powder-coated metal and UV-stable plastic last longer.

3. Hanging, stake and table styles

Hooks for pergolas, stakes for garden edges, and weighted table lanterns for entertaining without trip hazards.

4. Warm light and neighbour-friendly placement

Warm white reads cosier outdoors; aim light down to avoid glare into neighbouring windows.
