Ratings & Reviews for Harbor Breeze 18.5-ft Solar Black Outdoor String Light with 15 White -Light LED Globe Bulbs

Easy To Install Solar Light Set

It was hard doing a review during the winter for these in the Northeast. We finally got a descent day to install the solar panel for this light set. I wanted to use them on the inside of our patio. So we installed the solar panel above the back door of the patio on the outside which is all screened in by feeding the cable or plug under the top of the door frame. I then reattached the light strand on the inside and hung them above the top edge of the wall and entwined some greens around them for ...

Finicky Bulbs

I love the idea of this light set but the bulbs or sockets in my set were really finicky. I suspect it's combination of both. Each bulb comes wrapped in plastic and the bulb envelopes themselves feel like they're plastic, which should be great outdoors. After screwing the bulbs into the sockets and letting the solar panel charge, I found that some of the bulbs worked and some didn't. After messing around with them a bit I finally got them all to light but some were dimmer than the others. Th...

I Need More!

The string lights I used on my deck look great. The only problem is that now I need to buy a few more strings. 18 feet only covers 10 to 12 feet if you allow them to hang. The quality of these lights is great. Installation was a breeze. Locate a good place for the solar panel, aim it at the sun, drive in the screws and you are good to go. There are 4 settings but they look good to me without any effects so i just used the "on" setting. There is a spot on the side of the solar/control panel to ch...

Solar Globe String Lights

I like the idea, and I like the light style, but there were some issues that should be addressed to make it more than just an average product to a better product. First opened it up and wanted to charge it up. After reading instructions, there is a covered USB micro port used for charging. This is certainly better than needing to rely on solar alone, especially for the first time use. Issue there is that there is no indicator LED that it is charging, or when it is done. After a while of...

Perfect outdoor string lights!

I never realized how much having these solar lights would help illuminate our back deck! They are absolutely perfect. The solar power is just so handy (not having to worry about where they will plug!

Initially they seem quite good

Full disclosure I haven’t had the opportunity to set these up outside yet since it is winter in Pennsylvania, but I think they will work well along my garden area. I set the solar panel outside for six hours and it kept the lights lit Fulbright for about that amount of time. The panel seems to be a decent quality as do the bulbs and cable. The bulbs have plastic clips to attach them to a cable, but I don’t know how well they will hold up after being in the weather for a while. The panel has two ...

Not bad

Look great when installed, I've has several bulbs fail. Well packaged, looking for replacement bulbs now. I love the convenience of the dust till dawn feature....................

Nice warm lights

These lights are easy to use and have a nice warm light. They aren't too harsh. There is about 5 or so feet from the solar panel to the first light, which gives plenty of length to allow you to put the solar panel where you want. You can also charge them with a USB plug, which I did before setting them up, as it was a cloudy day and they wouldn't have had a chance to charge. The bulbs are plastic (of some kind), so they are less likely to shatter if they hit something or are blown around b...

Outdoor lighting

These are some great little lights. They are just bright enough to light up my gate so people can find my house in the dark. I do like that they are solar powered so I didnt have to wire anything.

Poor Quality Solar String Lights

I was looking forward to a set of solar string lights for my back patio, these aren't it. After opening the box and reading the directions, I decided to charge the solar pack on the micro-USB charger it doesn't come with. After finding one of mine, I plugged it in, and the red light let me know it was charging. after several hours the light turned green to let me know it was ready. I then connected the lights to the solar charger and all, but 3 lights came on. After doing a little inspection, I ...

Good light output

These put out a lot of light when it has been a fairly sunny day. When it is sunny, they last a really long time! I would give it 5 stars but the bulbs come unscrewed easily. I moved them to my deck and attached them with cable ties.

Super nice solar string lighting

18’ solar lighting is really cool. Solar panel comes with a stake so it can be mounted on the ground or wood surface. Panel is adustable. LED Lights are quite bright and are appx 9-10” apart, so about 12-13’ from end to end lights. The bulb housings have hooks for attaching to rain gutters or clips. Quite nice and versatile string of lights.

Solar lights

First I was installing lights in 20 degree weather. 3 snaps broke off, 2 lights didn’t come on. But it was simple tightening of the bulbs and a added a tie to the broken hooks. After a full sun day, the lights even in the cold was ample time for a fun lite night on our patio. I’m looking to purchase another string to complete the entire patio section.

Amazing solar lights

I absolutely love these solar lights. I haven't found a place to hang them just yet but have had them out for over a week. The solar panel features a screw in plate to mount to a structure or a stake to stick in the ground. It has an on/off switch and 3 modes of blinking along with a steady on. I honestly don't care for any of the pushing lights and don't see much of a difference in pattern. I keep them steady on. The lights are nice. They are plastic rather than glass, screw in, and easy to rep...

Questions will occur

I set it up temporarily because to wet to decide where it would be best. If it is durable I will get more to light up the complete patio fence. It says it will stay lit for 8 hours. That means it will go out about 3 am just when it is needed the most. They do look nice when lit. This is a wait and see review

Great Looking and Easy to Install Solar LED Lights

Portfolio 18.5-ft 15-Light Solar White Outdoor LED String Lights Got these Portfolio 18.5-ft 15-Light Solar White Outdoor LED String Lights to install on my deck so I could sit outside in the evening and relax without blinding bright lights. These are Solar powered so you don’t have to run electricity and they are for exterior use in wet areas. The light string is 18.5 feet and have 15 shatter resistant bulbs which are replaceable. I read the older reviews but in my opinion these are well ma...

So convenient and bright!

We will be using this on our pop-up tent. Really like that we have the solar feature and don’t have to worry about trying to find a power source. There is a switch that allows you to shut off the lights, as well as a mode switch that will flash the lights at different speeds. Well packaged, with each bulb being individually covered. Be sure to tighten each bulb as you take the plastic off as they were all a little loose. Really like the addition of the clip on each bulb. Smaller sized glob...

Solar Lights

I’m not trying to post a negative review just a fair and honest review. This product is not the best I’ve ever tried and was truly disappointed in it. It looks like it was a well made product but just doesn’t want to work properly! I was looking forward to installing this on my back deck for some cool looking lights but was not installing it since it wasn’t working properly. I know all products don’t always work as they were intended to and I guess I got one that just didn’t work properly. I’m t...

Nice lights but

The lights seem pretty good quality and the solar panel built well. It has two push button switches one for on and off the other button for mode it has 4 modes always on and a couple flash type modes. I did have an issue with some bulbs not coming on, I had to loosen and tighten the bulbs a couple times even then a few bulbs are on dimmer than the others we'll see how the long term results are.

Solar cafe lights

When I recieved these lights I appreciated how well it was packaged. Each light plastic bulb was individually wrapped, you will need scissors to cut the tape holding the plastic. The instructions were not great. It was difficult to locate the relevant information. Luckily I did see you can to pre charge the solar panel if you are wanting to use the lights asap, the mini USB and charger was not included. There was an indicator light that was red when not charged that changed to green once chargin...
