Beautiful bright lights
Would RecommendI just love how these lights shine at night! They are solar powered so they can go anywhere. I thought it would be more complicated by the instructions but they were simple to charge and put up.
I really like how it is packaged and easy to use
Would RecommendI put this product on deck. The lighting is perfect just enough light to see and does not draw bugs. It is to install anywhere I recommend this for that reason
Classy travel trailer addition
Would RecommendThese lights are the perfect little addition to our our travel trailer awning. The little clips make them easy to attach and even easier since there’s no plug to worry about.
Solar lights, good idea just didn’t work
Would Not RecommendSolar LED String lights by Portfolio. I was very excited about these string lights to use on our back porch. I was finally in town long enough to attempt to charge them outside and we have had a freakishly rainy dreary week. So I was happy to see you could charge the panel with a usb plug. It says to charge 6-8 hrs. I left it to charge for over 8 hrs and when I plugged the lights into the panel nothing happened. I double checked it all and the panel didn’t charge properly or the lights are fault...

Classic look LED solar string lights
Would RecommendThese string lights look nice. It is a classic look with LED bulbs. I purchased screw-in hooks to mount the lights on a carport edge overhang (every other light). At first they did not seem to work, but after the solar panel had been up all day (mostly not in direct sunlight) they seem to work OK. They are fairly bright for small LED bulbs. Time will tell how they hold up with time.
Putting the sun to work for you
Would RecommendTalk about living off the land, I received the string lights for review. They are part of the portfolio landscape collection. They are Solar powered with the supplied solar panel and rechargeable lithium battery. They are a black finish with 15 replaceable lights. The string section is 18.5 feet long. Now, after some time to test the product, the box advertises and elimination of up to eight hours on a full charge, which is accurate. The packaging indicates there is a five year limited warranty...
Easy install but cannot connect extra strands
Would RecommendI was thrilled to find solar-powered cafe string lights! Besides being solar-powered, my favorite thing about these lights is that there is a built in clip for hanging on each light which saved so much time and hassle figuring out how to hang inside my gazebo. The lights are bright but warm and inviting to create a lovely ambience. My only desires for more from this product are that they don’t connect with additional strings of light- I have a second set so that I could line the entire interior ...
Love these!
Perfect brightness and lasted at least the 4 hours we were outside in the evening. A great feature is the USB post to charge the lights on those dark days. In the past I had the type that you had to plug in...what a hassle. The cord was always in the way, in the rain or come unplugged. I'd give this 5 stars if I could connect more than one strand together. Still... I will buy more to frame my gazebo. Love them
Cool outdoor lights
Would RecommendSuper cool concept- never need to charge outdoor lighting again! A couple notes though: one of the bulbs was burnt out right out of the box, and the way they wrap the cords around themselves in the box is super annoying and difficult to unwind lol. Bonus- you can also charge with an outlet.
Fun little light string!
Would RecommendThese string lights are easy to hang and with the solar panel, they can be hung where there isn’t a convenient power outlet. We hung ours under our porch. There are five different settings: on, off, slow blink, fast blink and double blink. This is a fun addition for your camper awning, your easy-up canopy, pergola, gazebo or porch. Or, you could even string them between trees!
Surprisingly bright, but downhill from there
Would Not RecommendStarting with the pros, the lights are surprisingly bright. Usually solar lights are pretty dim, not really enough to light a space for sitting. But these actually are! The bulbs are plastic and are removable so apparently they can be replaced if damaged. Since they are plastic, they will be more tolerant to bumps when hanging. Unfortunately that is where the pros end. The solar panel requires direct sunlight for charging but getting it in a place where it has that for several hours can be chall...

Handy solar string lights
Would RecommendExcellent solar lights very handy to install and use especially in areas that you don’t have electricity. Plastic bulbs don’t break easily. Beautiful lights.
Solar lighting is easy and efficient.
Would RecommendThis solar string lighting is easy to place. A few nails/hooks/or dowels will have the string of lights placed in no time. The only decision is where to place them. Hanging on a fence, on the ground around a garden area or around a gazebo. The one thing to keep in mind is to be sure the little solar panel is exposed to the sun as much as possible. However, this unit also has a USB port in case of inclement weather or lack of sun. There are 4 light setting. Steady, heartbeat, faster and very quic...
Pretty but mine dont work
I was so excited to receive these but unfortunately these dont seem to work... they are super pretty hanging above the small fountain we have in the front yard but i cant seem to get them to turn on. Im not sure if we are doing something wrong but we charged the solar base, (which i think a charger should come in the pack. Its one of the older chargers heads so i had to Rummage through my drawers to find it.) I pushed the on/off button but it doesnt indicate that its on or not. I hit the mode bu...

Summer lights
Would RecommendI love that these lights are solar. At first I was going to use them on my patio but my husband had a creative way to use them. We put them in the play area. They omit the perfect amount of light so the kids can play a little longer in the evening. We did not have to worry about needing an outlet. We haven’t had them up long so not sure if this will cause the bugs to gather around the swing set so this idea may be short lived. But for now they have a great purpose and they also look very ...
Bright lights, easy to install and long lasting
Would RecommendThese solar lights are surprisingly bright, but not overly bright. They're perfect for a space where you would want some decorative lighting in the evenings/night. Each bulb is individually wrapped in plastic, which seems like overkill since the bulbs are shatterproof and plastic. I tested them with a full charge via USB, and then after they lost power, via solar power. In both cases, the lights were still bright after 8 hours; and after 11 hours, still shining but much fainter. The lights ...
