I would like to get some outside (outdoor) lighting that doesn't look like a lantern. Any ideas?

What stores do you have available? Make the rounds of hardware, home improvement centers and nurseries to see what they have to offer, or shop on line.

  I've been to Home Depot, online, and didn't find anything that didn't look like you could take it down, and wave some wanderer in to port or something. :(

  What is "wave some wanderer in to port or something?"
  
  I have a motion activated porch light and solar lights.

  Ok, make the rounds of hardware and lighting stores. Do you have a Lamps Plus or something similar?

Home Depot, Lowes, or Menard's.

I'd like to have walkway solar lights but they never last more than about 3 months before they quit working. Plenty of sun all day so, is that normal!

  Well, we kinda just put them in the backyard but thanks for that suggestion. :)
  I am looking for lights to replace the ones by the front door, the garage, and the side door to the garbage area.

  Hey Joan. Solar lights just need to have rechargeable batteries replaced when they stop working. Should last at least a year. Make sure the solar panel is clean or it won't charge the battery fully.

There are so many options availble now. I saw lots of different ones at the hardware store. They had some lovely round ones or flat ones. Lanterns are just a small part of the range.
