Linke Solar RGB Flood Lights Outdoor with Remote Control (IP66, Dusk to Dawn)
Product description
If you’re trying to add some colour and proper outdoor lighting without running cables, Linke’s solar RGB flood lights are the kind of product that makes sense on paper. You get multiple RGB modes, adjustable brightness levels, and a remote control for easier changing once they’re mounted.
That said, solar lights are always a bit of a “depends” purchase: where you place the solar panel, how much sun the spot actually gets, and how wet or shaded your garden area is can swing real-world results. Keep those limits in mind and you’ll be much happier with what you see at dusk.
The essentials
These are outdoor solar spotlights designed for landscape lighting—think garden features, trees, paths, patios, and general ambience for evenings. The RGB element is there for colour changing, while the adjustable brightness and built-in timing options help you dial in how it behaves throughout the night.
If you’re planning something like a Christmas party outdoors, these are the sort of lights you can set up, step back, and then tweak later with the remote rather than getting back out a ladder every time you want a different colour mode.
It’s not the same thing as mains-powered floodlights—so if you’re chasing ultra-bright, long-duration illumination, solar may feel more “mood lighting” than “spotlight for security”. But for decorative outdoor effects, it’s aimed clearly at that job.
Where it shines (and what to watch)
What stands out most here is the combination of solar convenience with RGB and control options:
- Multi-colour lighting modes and several brightness levels, so you’re not stuck with one look.
- Memory and timing functions, which can reduce fiddling after the first setup.
- Two installation options (ground or wall), plus a long cable so the solar panel can be positioned in a sunnier spot.
Worth noting: solar panels need an unobstructed place with full exposure to sunlight. If you mount them in a shaded corner, the lights can end up looking underwhelming—especially during wetter, cloudier stretches.
Key points
You’re buying a solar landscape light that focuses on colour-changing effects, not just straightforward white illumination. The included timing choices (auto-off after set periods) and the memory for previously used settings are practical details if you want consistent behaviour night after night.
It suits people who want to light up outdoor spaces for events and everyday ambience—pathways, feature plants, or a tree in the garden—without installing wiring. If you’re happy to treat placement of the solar panel as part of the install, the whole system is more likely to feel “worth it”.
On the flip side, if your garden gets limited sun, or the outdoor area you want to light is naturally shaded, solar can’t magically compensate. For those situations, you may want to look at alternatives that don’t depend as heavily on sunlight conditions.

Everyday use: getting it right first time
A common approach with solar lights is to mount the light heads where you want the effect, then use the 5m cable to place the solar panel where it can actually charge reliably. In practice, that might look like placing the solar panel in a clear, sun-facing spot on a wall or fence line, while positioning the floodlights to wash light across a garden tree or along a patio edge.
Then, once they’re switched on at dusk, you can use the remote to change colour modes and brightness. Because the system can remember your last settings, you shouldn’t have to reconfigure everything each time you return outside.
Still, don’t ignore placement: if the panel can’t see the sun properly, you’ll likely notice shorter lighting times and less impressive output. It’s one of those “small setup choices, big result” scenarios.
Who it’s for, and who should skip it
It makes sense if you want outdoor colour-changing lighting for gardens and gatherings, and you prefer a wireless setup where possible. It’s also a decent fit if you value memory and timing so the lights behave consistently without constant manual adjustment.
It might not suit you if you need bright, steady illumination for long periods regardless of weather and shade. Solar products are simply more dependent on site conditions than mains-powered options, and IP66 is about water resistance—not light-output consistency.
Also consider whether the RGB effect is actually what you want. If your main priority is straightforward, high-visibility outdoor security lighting, you may find RGB ambience isn’t the best match for that job.
Mini FAQ
Quick overview
Does the light remember the last settings?
Yes, the solar spotlights can remember the settings from the last time they were used.
Can you set the lights to turn off automatically?
Yes. You can choose an automatic RGB light shut-off after 2 hours, 4 hours, or 6 hours.
Where should the solar panel be placed?
It needs to be installed in an unobstructed place with full exposure to sunlight, since charging depends on it.
Are these lights suitable for wet outdoor areas?
With an IP66 waterproof rating, they’re designed for outdoor use where water exposure is a factor.
Can the lights be mounted in more than one way?
Yes. You can install them on the ground or on a wall depending on your setup.
Final verdict
Should you buy it?
This Linke solar RGB floodlight set is a solid choice if you want colour-changing outdoor lighting that’s more about ambience and seasonal garden effects than hard, mains-style brightness. The remote control, multiple brightness levels, and timing/memory functions are genuinely practical for everyday use.
Skip it if your installation location won’t give the solar panel decent, unobstructed sun, or if you need consistent, high-output lighting through poor weather and shade. In other words: if you’re willing to put a bit of thought into panel placement, it has a good chance of delivering what you’re after, if not, it may feel like it comes up short.
