Charge does not last

Would Not Recommend

I've had these lights a little over 3 months and for the last month the lights are not working correctly, they go off after a couple of hours after they turn on.

Really like them, but…

Would Not Recommend

I have three strings of these on my deck. I purchased because of the multi-year warranty. They work well, until some bulbs get full of water. Told I can return/exchange, but I’d have to remove string of lights and my closest store doesn’t not have these in stock. Really, I could just use replacement bulbs or have new strings to me and then I could send back the defective ones.

I love these lights, but ….

Would Recommend

I have several strings of these lights and they charge great and are bright and last through the night. However, some of my bulbs have quit on me. I got a return authorization to exchange at the store, but none of my local stores have them in stock. So I guess I either return, and fight have enough lights or keep a string with bulbs out.

Comes on in Heartbeat Strobe

Would Not Recommend

They are light sensitive, but every night when they come on, they come on in Heartbeat Strobe mode making our balcony look like a disco. If they came on in solid mode, they would be great. No matter how many times we change them to solid mode and try to get them to work, they always start off in Heartbeat Strobe. No one from the company has been able to help unfortunately.

Sensor only turns lights on at night.

Would Recommend

The product appeared well made and I had no problems installing the string. I charged the solar panel for six hours using the USB port. A green light came in to tell me it was charged. I reattached the solar panel and pushed the on button, but no light. I even took the unit apart looking for a battery tab like the instructions suggested. No tab and would not light. Luckily I read a review before returning the product. One review said the string had a sensor and only turned on at dark. With this...

Simply doesnt work

Would Not Recommend

We purchased Sunday night and charged by USB out of the box. Charged 7pm to 5 pm. The solar panel was red when first plugged in, green when we took it off. Turned on once to test and the lights turned on. Turned off and tried to turn it back on to show my family a few minutes later but the panel is red again and the lights wont turn in. Returning today, Monday. If it cant hold power from USB/direct outlet, no use trying the solar option. Would give no stars if it let me submit with having to sel...

Would Not Recommend

These lights were beautiful when they worked, but they only worked for 3 nights! I’m really disappointed because I loved them so much. I don’t have the receipt or the box, so now I can’t return them. I would go for lights that you can plug in and put on a sensor now since these didn’t work. Very disappointed!

These are a waste of money. You have to manually switch the mode everytime they turn on. Don't hang the charging panel because you will need to access it everyday.
