SHOPPERS are flocking to snap up a deal as Home Bargains’ restock their viral solar light.
The retailer has added more of the popular lights to its online store after they sold out last week.

Made by Firefly Solar Light Co, the solar-powered LED light from Home Bargains is shaped like a hot air balloon.
The colourful garden accessory automatically turns on after sundown and comes with a rechargeable battery.
Dangling from the delicate glass ‘balloon’ is a tiny gold basket.
Despite soaring costs of living, the bargain solar-powered light is one pound cheaper than when it first took shoppers by storm last year.
The popular light is now selling for £3.99 on the Home Bargains website.
B&M is selling a similar version for £4, and £8 for a larger size.
The light was launched by Home Bargains in May 2024 and immediately went viral, with shoppers racing to stores to grab the garden fixture.
Fans went so wild for the light that it sold out online within hours.
Home Bargains kept restocking the hot air balloon light, only for it to sell out again – leading to shoppers flocking to Facebook in their thousands to show off the lights they’d managed to get their hands on.
Shoppers are reporting that Home Bargains has limited online sales of the balloons to four per customer until stocks last.
Photos of the lights were shared on the Bargain Lovers Facebook page, with hundreds of fans taking to the comments.
One shopper said: “For those waiting for the solar hanging hot air balloon lights to become available – you can now order online up to a max of 4. Get ordering whilst you can!”
“I bought one yesterday, I love it!” one wrote excitedly.
“Nice! My ones from last year are still going strong,” another replied.
“I’ve got one and it looks lovely at night, it’s in a tree in my back garden, very bright too,” someone wrote.
With another comment adding: “I had some of these last year and they were beautiful. Mesmerising to watch.”
