A solar light stick for use in illuminating and decorating a lawn, garden or pathway. The solar light stick includes a supporting stake, a solar panel, a rechargeable battery, at least one LED, and a tube body. The tube body contains a light transmissive material that may be transparent or translucent. The solar panel charges the rechargeable battery which, in turn, provides power to the LEDs. The LEDs are positioned to provide light to the interior of the tube body. As such, the LEDs may be located within a recess in the tube body. Reflective flakes dispersed within the tube body reflect and disperse light from the LEDs in a decorative manner.
