“Wasn’t expecting it to be as bright as it is.
“Only downfall is the shade is glass so you must secure it well.
“Mine is screwed to a concrete slab so I can move it around.”
Sharna later shared: “It’s metal with a plastic outer casing, the panels in the lamp are glass and it’s 5ft 5”.”
The solar lamp post is a functional addition and perfect centrepiece for your garden, that creates beautiful ambient lighting.
It comes complete with all fixtures, meaning all you need to do is choose your ideal placement.
With auto-adjusting technology, the lights automatically adjust their brightness according to the level of solar energy stored in the battery during the day.
Sharna’s post has clearly impressed many, as it has quickly racked up a staggering 3,300 likes and 853 comments.
Social media users were stunned by the Aldi Specialbuy and many took to the comments to share their thoughts.

Best thing I've ever bought, got mine four years ago and still as bright
Facebook user
One Aldi shopper beamed: “Can’t believe how much light these kick out - more than one we paid double for.
“Only regret we didn’t buy more than one while we were at it.”
Another chimed in: “Best thing I've ever bought, got mine four years ago and still as bright.”
Whilst one shopper expressed: “These are brilliant, I've had mine now for a couple of years, most days it’s on till the morning, I do turn it off in winter time and store it.”
When's the best time to shop at Aldi?
WHEN it comes to shopping at Aldi, the best time to do so depends on what you want to buy.
For reduced items - when shops open
Red sticker items are rare at Aldi's 830 UK stores, but the supermarket says that none of its food goes to waste so there are some to be found - if you're quick.
A spokesman for the supermarket said: "All items are reduced to 50 per cent of the recommend sales price before stores open on their best before or use by dates."
That means you have the best chance of finding reduced food items if you go into stores as soon as it opens.
Opening times vary by shop but a majority open from 7am or 8am. You can find your nearest store's times by using the supermarket's online shop finder tool.
For Specialbuys - Thursdays and Sundays
Specialbuys are Aldi's weekly collection of items that it doesn't normally sell, which can range from pizza ovens to power tools.
New stock comes into stores every Thursday and Sunday, so naturally, these are the best days to visit for the best one-off special deals.
For an even better chance of bagging the best items, head there for your local store's opening time.
You don't have to head into stores to bag a Specialbuy, though.
They also go on sale online, usually at midnight on Thursday and Sunday, and you can pre-order them up to a week in advance.
As long as you spend at least £25, you'll get the items delivered for free.
Remember: once they're gone, they're gone, so if there's something you really want, visit as early as possible
At the same time, bargain hunters tagged their friends and loved ones to alert them to the cheap buy.
One woman tagged a Facebook user and advised: “Go to Aldi.”
A second person mentioned a loved one and asked: “How nice are these?”
Whilst someone else asked an Aldi shopper: “Can we get one?”
