Why We Love This Deal
Outdoor lighting can get expensive when you’re trying to brighten walkways and pathways or up-light holiday decorations. Solar options can help save money on installation, but not all of them are made for winter. There is one set on Amazon right now that’s suited for temperatures as low as -4 degrees Fahrenheit. It comes in a pack of four and is on sale for less than $40.
The four-pack of Nymphy Outdoor Waterproof Solar Stake Lights is now just $32 on Amazon, a 51% discount off its normal price of $65. These lights are specifically designed to handle harsh winter conditions, and they’ve been a hit—over 10,000 were purchased last month alone. Unsurprisingly, they’ve also amassed more than 11,000 five-star ratings, and are currently ranked as Amazon’s No. 2 bestseller.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Set: 4 stakes
- Color Temp: Cool white
- Materials: High-impact ABS plastic, polycrystalline Silicon
- IP-rating: IP68 weatherproof
- Temperature Threshold: -4 to 140 degrees
While there are thousands of models available on Amazon, what makes this set from Nymphy stand out is its ability to operate in temperatures as low as -4 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s why they are great for winter landscaping, whether you need to illuminate snowy walkways, add up-lighting to Christmas decorations, or just want to keep your yard visible as the days draw shorter. With their IP68 waterproof rating, they can take a beating from rain, snow, or slush without fogging or shorting out.
With its polycrystalline solar panels, this set is about 20% more efficient after charging than other models, and it lasts longer throughout the night, too, rather than fading after an hour or two. This, of course, depends on the amount of daylight they can soak up, but they can run for an average of 6 to 20 hours and offer three levels of brightness, with the lowest setting likely offering the longest run time.

What Shoppers Are Saying
One shopper who called them the “best lights ever” noted how impressive they were, lasting from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. They also said, “I have never had any that lasted through the night,” and that the evening effectively illuminated their Christmas decorations.
Another shopper who has had them for over a year said, “I never brought them in over the Minnesota winter—they came on every night and are still working great.”
For just over $30, these winter-proof solar stake lights are a cheap way to light up your home year-round. Grab what you need now, because the price is bound to hike back up.
