Tiki torches add a great feel to any outdoor evening event, but they're messy. Adding fuel, lighting each torch, and then snuffing them out at the end of the night are all activities likely to get your hands messy and oily. Additionally, it's easy to spill fuel on the ground while filling up a traditional torch, which is an environmental no-no.
Solar tiki lights are a nice alternative because they completely bypass the fueling and lighting process. You can leave solar tiki torches out all the time and they'll light up each night, or you can set them up the day of an event - wherever you need them - and enjoy their light throughout your evening event. The only option more environmentally sound than solar lighting is sitting in the dark.
Solar tiki torches are also easier to transport, and many models have a flicker effect that resembles an actual flame. They're equally suitable for a garden, backyard or pool party, or for a late evening at the beach.
There are two prominent manufacturers of solar tiki torches available in the United States - Westinghouse and Malibu.
