If you're pondering over the best ways to secure your home, it's easy to assume that your only option is to invest in a multitude of pricey smart home cameras and set up a live monitoring system connected to a sophisticated app.However, there are numerous other alternatives that won't empty your wallet as much, with some automated lights proving to be both straightforward and effective.Amazon boasts a wide range of these motion-sensing lights, but you'd be hard-pressed to find better value than this four-pack from Vanranger, currently priced at just £16.99 - down from £19.99.

What's more, Prime customers can presently apply a £6 voucher, bringing the price down to a mere £11.99 - equating to £3 per light.Each light features a small solar panel on top for power, meaning there's no need for wiring or frequent battery charging like those without panels, which is convenient.

They also come equipped with a motion sensor, which can be programmed to switch the light on for a specific duration whenever movement is detected.Primarily, the Solar Security Lights function as down-lights, directing their beams downwards towards the ground.

This means the higher you mount them on a wall, the wider the spread of light.Therefore, if you desire subtle illumination along a path, you can position them close to the ground for soft lighting, or alternatively, place them above a door to cast a large pool of light, reports the Manchester Evening News.
