We compared two motion-sensor solar security lights: the TECKNET 495 LED Solar Lights (2-pack) and the Lepro Solar Security Lights.
What we looked at
LED count and brightness, panel design, and price.
The verdict
If you want the most LEDs (495 per light, sold as a 2-pack) with 3 lighting modes and a 36-month warranty, the TECKNET is the pick at £26.99, though it costs £10.00 more. If you would rather pay less for a separate solar panel on a 4.8m cable and 3 adjustable heads, the Lepro is the value option, at £16.99.
A £26.99 2-pack of solar lights with 495 LEDs each.
A £16.99 solar light with a separate, repositionable solar panel.

Lepro Solar Security Lights, 1200LM — Best Value
