Smart Garden Compact Flaming Torch Slate, 4-Pack

Bring a dramatic, flickering glow to your garden with the Smart Garden Compact Flaming Torch Slate, 4-Pack, a solar-powered stake light from the Solar Cool Flame range. Using Smart Garden's CoolFlame technology, each torch produces a convincingly realistic flame effect — the warm, dancing light of a garden torch without any heat, fuel, or fire risk.

Ideal for lining garden paths, framing patios and decking, or adding atmosphere to flower beds and borders, these compact torches create an impressive display when arranged in a group. The slate grey finish suits modern and contemporary garden styles and provides a smart, understated look during the day. Set of 4 included, so you can create an instant feature straight out of the box.

Each torch is solar-powered with an integrated rechargeable battery — simply push the stake into the ground in a sunny spot and the torches will charge during the day and activate automatically at dusk. No wiring, no mains connection, and no batteries to replace.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the flame get hot?
No. CoolFlame technology produces a realistic flickering light effect that mimics a real flame, but the light itself remains completely cool to the touch. There is no heat, fuel, or combustion involved — completely safe for use around children and pets.

How does the solar charging work?
Each torch has an integrated solar panel at the top of the stake. During daylight hours the panel charges the built-in rechargeable battery. At dusk the torch switches on automatically and runs until the battery is depleted — typically 6–8 hours on a full charge in summer conditions.

Do these work during UK winter?
Yes, though charge times are longer in winter due to shorter daylight hours. On overcast days the solar panel will still charge, but run times will be reduced. You can expect approximately 4–6 hours of light on a winter evening after a full day of reasonable daylight.

How far apart should I space the torches?
For a path-lining effect, spacing of 60–100 cm between each torch works well. For a more dramatic cluster effect around a patio or seating area, they can be placed closer together. The flexible positioning of stake lights means you can rearrange them easily.

Are these weatherproof?
Yes. Designed for permanent year-round outdoor use in UK conditions, including rain, frost, and wind. No need to bring them indoors during winter.
