Solar tiki torch

Traditional tiki torches versus solar tiki torches: what are the benefits and disadvantages of each?

Deciding whether or not to get a solar tiki torch or a regular tiki torch can be a difficult one. After all, perhaps you grew up going to backyard barbeques lit up by the flames of tiki torches – they are so traditional, and they give such a wonderful ambiance.

Also, it is possible to get citronella tiki torches, and these have the added benefit of deterring mosquitoes.

But there are also many benefits associated with solar tiki torches. For instance, there is no fire danger associated with solar tiki torches: they are very safe. They are also very easy to set up – you just stick them in the ground, the same as you would a regular torch. There are no extra wires or anything.

Many of them them have dusk to dawn sensors, so you do not even need to worry about turning them on. Also, solar tiki torches give a similar, wonderful ambiance that regular tiki torches give.

Perhaps the main "problem" associated with solar tiki torches, though is the light. The light can be dimmer and less flickering than the light of their regular torch counterpart. Also, if there is no sunlight (because of cloudy days or placement in the shade, etc.) there will be no light emitted from the solar tiki torch.
