The Solar Light Bulbs will be in stores tomorrow and are the perfect buy for the garden.
Not only will they give your fence an instant update, but they'll also come in handy during the evenings.
Costing just £3.99 each, the bulb comes with a crocodile clip so it can be hung around the garden.
The bulbs come in two different shapes and have 20 firefly LED lights inside to add a whimsical touch.
It also comes with a flat base for use as a table lantern if you don't want to hang it.
Of course, the lights are solar-powered so you won't have to worry about getting batteries for the lamp.
Aldi bosses say: "Bring colour into your outdoor space with this Solar Iridescent Lightbulb."
It's part of Aldi's wider push to offer low-cost garden essentials this season, with the budget supermarket regularly selling out of its Specialbuys aimed at outdoor living.
Like with all Specialbuy items from the store it will only be available while stock lasts.
So if you want to get your hands on the bulb, you'd best head to your local store tomorrow to stock up.

Germany launches additional measures against Russia's 'shadow fleet'
BERLIN, July 1 (Reuters) - Germany has pledged additional measures to further counter Russia's so-called "shadow fleet" operating in the Baltic and North Sea, the foreign ministry said on Tuesday in a statement. Western sanctions aimed at cutting Russia's oil revenues following its invasion of Ukraine have led to the rise of a vast "shadow fleet" of tankers that helps Moscow to keep its crude exports flowing. From Tuesday German authorities have begun questioning passing tankers about their insurance coverage against oil pollution damage, the foreign ministry said, adding that the insurance coverage of "shadow fleet" vessels is often unknown, as they avoid reputable insurers and European ports. "Our goal is very clear: We are increasing the pressure on the Russian shadow fleet and protecting the Baltic Sea," German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul in the statement.

The Guardian view on Trump's aid cuts and development: the global majority deserve justice, not charity
When one door closes, you would hope that another opens. As USAID was formally shut down on Monday, a once-in-a-decade development financing conference was kicking off in Seville. But while initially intended to move the world closer to its ambitious 2030 sustainable development goals, it now looks more like an attempt to prevent a reversal of the progress already made. A study published in the Lancet predicted that Donald Trump's aid cuts could claim more than 14 million lives by 2030, a third of them among children. For many poor countries, the scale of the shock would be similar to that of a major war, the authors found. More than four-fifths of the US agency's programmes have been cut, with surviving projects folded into the state department. The US was by far the world's largest donor to global development – though its contributions were a fraction of the G7 target of 0.7% of GDP. Yet the damage does not end there. Its move encouraged others to follow suit. The UK, Germany and France are slashing their aid budgets to spend more on defence. Oxfam says that the collective retrenchment by G7 nations is the biggest aid cut since 1960, with spending 26% lower in 2026 than it was last year. Don't expect China or the Gulf states to fill this gaping hole. It is not just grim news for aid recipients. It bodes ill for all. It would be naive to imagine that aid is a high‑mindedly altruistic endeavour. Just as conflict breeds hunger and poverty, so injustice and deprivation breed instability and a more dangerous world. Slashing health budgets also increases the risks of another global pandemic. Developing countries hoped that the UN- and Spanish-hosted International Conference on Financing for Development would at least see a willingness to tackle an international financial system stacked against the global majority. Instead, the US, UK, EU and others shamefully acted as blockers, watering down the language on a UN intergovernmental process to tackle the debt crisis. The US reportedly proposed 400 amendments across a multitude of issues to the conference's outcome document before pulling out entirely. Others will need to be held to their too-limited commitments. More than two-fifths of the global population live in low income countries which are in debt distress or close to it. Many poor African nations are spending more on debt financing than they do on health or education. Contrary to popular perception – and any sense of justice and decency – wealth is flowing from them to developed nations. The UN says that servicing debt cost developing countries $847bn last year, rising to $947bn this year. Yet developed countries are choosing to shore up an unfair global financial system. The keenness of the UK and others to focus on private sector‑oriented solutions looks like better news for the City than developing nations. The promise that private finance would turn 'billions to trillions' was enthusiastically promoted a decade ago, yet largely failed to materialise. Despite the enduring inequality, the last few decades saw extraordinary progress in areas such as cutting child mortality. For all their flaws, USAID-funded programmes alone saved almost 92 million lives over 20 years. We know that remarkable leaps in human wellbeing are possible. We will all regret it if, in this time of conflict and crisis, we slam the door shut on such advances and block out the call of justice.
