(11) The second light set 20 includes a second hollow column 21, a second solar lighting module 22 detachably installed at a top end 211 of the second hollow column 21, and a detachably installed at a bottom end 212 of the second hollow column 21, and the top end 211 and the bottom end 212 of the second hollow column 21 are communicated with each other, so that the second hollow column 21 forms a fitting part 24 within a range of the inner periphery of the second hollow column 21.

(12) In FIG. 3, the first light set 10 and the second light set 20 further include a regular insert part 64 separately, and each insert part 64 is disposed under the corresponding first base 13 or second base 23. During use as shown in the figure, the bottom of each insert part 64 is in substantially in an downwardly tapered conical shape, such that each light set can be inserted into an outdoor ground and fixed by the insert part 64, and the lights emitted downwardly from the first solar lighting module 12 and the second solar lighting module 22 can be transmitted from the inside to the outside through the periphery of the hollow first and second columns 11, 21.

(13) The hollow column, the solar lighting module and the base of each garden light are modularized, so that two different sized light sets can be integrated and packaged altogether. In FIGS. 4 and 5, the size of the fitting part 24 of the second hollow column 21 is greater than the size of the outer periphery of the first hollow column 11, so that the fitting part 24 of the second hollow column 21 can be sheathed on the outer periphery of the first hollow column 11, and any two of the first and second solar lighting modules 12, 22 and the first and second bases 13, 23 can be freely selected to be stacked with each other in pairs, and then accommodated in the accommodation space 14 of the first hollow column 11. In this way, different sized light sets can be integrated and packaged to reduce the volume and cost of the packaging and transportation significantly.

(14) The modular design of the garden light is not limited to the integration of two light sets into a package only. In FIG. 6, the garden light further includes a third light set 30 having a shape substantially the same as the second light set 20 and proportionally enlarged, and the third light set 30 includes a third hollow column 31, a third solar lighting module 32 detachably installed at a top end 311 of the third hollow column 31, and a third base 33 detachably installed at a bottom end 312 of the third hollow column 31, and the top end 311 and the bottom end 312 of the third hollow column 31 are communicated with each other, so that the inner periphery of the third hollow column 31 forms a fitting part 34.

(15) The size of the fitting part 34 of the third hollow column 31 is greater than the size of the outer periphery of the second hollow column 21, so that the fitting part 34 of the third hollow column 31 can be sheathed on the outer periphery of the second hollow column 21, and any two of the first, second, and third solar lighting modules 12, 22, 32 and the first, second and third bases 13, 23, 33 can be freely selected to be stacked with each other in pairs as shown in the figure, and then accommodated into the accommodation space 14 of the first hollow column 11 to achieve the effect of integrating and packaging different sized garden lights.

(17) By the aforementioned structure, the hollow column, the solar lighting module and the base of the garden light of this disclosure are modularized, so that different sized garden lights can be integrated and packaged altogether, thereby not only providing consumers with a variety of sizes to choose from, but also protecting the plurality of bases and the plurality of solar lighting modules inside by the outermost hollow column, and reducing the volume and cost of packaging and transportation.

(18) The implementation of each component of this disclosure is further described below:

(19) In FIGS. 1 to 7, the first hollow column 11, the second hollow column 21, and the third hollow column 31 are substantially in a rectangular column shape or an elliptical shape (as shown in FIG. 8), and the first, second, and third solar lighting modules 12, 22, 32 and the first, second, and third bases 13, 23, 33 are also substantially in a rectangular column shape or an elliptical shape, and these two shapes make each solar lighting module and each base form a long side L and a short side S, and any two of the first, second, and third solar lighting modules 12, 22, 32 and the first, second, and third bases 13, 23, 33 are stacked on top of each other, and then placed into the accommodation space 14 (as shown in FIG. 4) in the direction from the top end 111 or the bottom end 112 of the first hollow column 11 along the short side S, thereby overcoming the issues of the traditional garden light that is in a cylindrical or square column shape, and the solar lighting module and base with equal sides cannot be placed in the hollow column to reduce the packaging volume.

(20) In FIGS. 1, 3 and 6, the first, second, and third solar lighting modules 12, 22, 32 separately include a shell 41, and the top side of each shell 41 is installed with a solar panel 42, and the bottom side of each shell 41 is installed with an LED circuit board 43, and the interior of each shell 41 is installed with a battery 44. When each solar lighting module is installed to the top end 111, 211, 311 of the corresponding hollow column, the solar panel 42, the battery 44 and the LED circuit board 43 are electrically connected to each other, so that each LED circuit board 43 can emit light downwardly. In addition, the first, second, and third hollow column 11, 21, 31 separately have a hollow pattern 51 penetrating the inside and the outside, and the light emitted downwardly from the LED circuit board 43 of each solar lighting module can be transmitted can be passed through the hollow pattern 51 and transmitted to the outside to create a light and shadow effect. In an embodiment as shown in the figure, the hollow pattern 51 is disposed at the first and second hollow columns 11, 21.

(21) In an embodiment, the first, second, and third bases 13, 23, 33 separately have a bottom plate 61, and a periphery wall 62 erected around the inner periphery of the bottom plate 61, and the outer periphery of each periphery wall 62 is embedded into the inner periphery of the bottom end 112, 212, 312 of the corresponding first, second or third hollow column 11, 21, 31.
