Scanning at £7.99, the solar lights automatically light up at dusk and feature a flame effect LED to illuminate your garden during the summer evenings.
Home Bargains says the lights bring a “magical glow to your outdoor space”, while each light comes with a rechargeable battery and is easy to install.
The retailer adds on its website: “The lights automatically turn on at dusk, providing a warm, inviting ambiance with a stunning flame LED effect.
“No wires or fuss—just let the sun charge them during the day, and enjoy the beautiful light as the evening falls.”
The lights are incredibly popular among Home Bargains fans and have previously sold out on the store’s website.
They’ve also proved to be a viral sensation on social media, with several shoppers posting to Facebook to share their finds and sparking a frenzy among fellow bargain hunters.
One fan posted a picture of the lights to the Bargain Lovers Facebook Group, with hundreds of garden owners replying to leave their reviews.
“I’ve got those they are stunning,” one shopper wrote, while another said they were so pleased they were going back to Home Bargains to get more.
Another said: “They are beautiful at night I have them”.
However, not everyone was impressed with the quality of the solar lights.
“Have these in the garden and very disappointed,” one user said, while another replied: “I bought these bit disappointed as i thought they were going to light up different colours but all orange glow”.
The lights are so popular that they are even being resold on second hand website Vinted for up to double the price.
The Firefly Hot Air Balloon Solar String Lights are part of a range of outdoor lights on sale at Home Bargains.

How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
