Bright lights

Would Recommend

The lights are really bright but need to wait until it charges to the fullest level for the first use. Do not rush! The solar element has a stick in soil t that makes it very easy to install if one does not want to use screws provided with it. One thing I would lime to mention is that the lights if used continuously start dimming. It would be nice if those stayed bright for the entire duration of use although I understand that it is not possible with solar charging or regular batteries. One thi...

Great for my front porch!

Would Recommend

I really like these lights. They are a plastic bulb that looks glass. They are really bright too which is nice since I put them on my front porch. Solar power is always nice so that you don’t have to worry about finding a plug. They made the perfect addition to my front porch!

Solar string lights

Would Recommend

Wasn't paying attention when I request these lights. Wasn't exactly it to be solar powered. These lights are great. Set the solar panels in the sun light and wait for the internal battery to charge. Have them outside my back porch and the whole porch is lit when the lights are on. Played with the different settings and may use the strobe for fun nights. Planning on taking them camping to light up the camp site especially since i can move them anywhere.

Home or campsite or even a vending tent

Would Recommend

These are LED so they add plenty of light wherever you put them. You don't need a plug outlet because they are solar powered. The end opposite the solar panel has a convenient eyelet that can hook to a finishing nail, cup hook, or a string that you could put over a limb, etc.

Panel never charged.

Would Not Recommend

Installed the lights and solar panel in the backyard easily and they're a good length at 18 feet. The lights come with clips and screws as well as drywall anchors are included. Product wise, I will never get to see them light up. I charged them out in the sun for two days in sunny weather and the lights could not be turned on, no matter how much I played with the on/off and mode button. I took the solar panel/battery off and plugged it into a microUSB cable (which was not included) and a red li...

Great solar LED light string (outdoor)

Would Recommend

Product came well packed. Bulbs are plastic. Solar panel will detach from light cord for easy charging. Has a red light when it needs to charge; green light when it's ready. Would've been better if it were a little longer with a few more bulbs.

Bright, Bright, Bright

Would Recommend

I love these outdoor lights. I hang them on my umbrella and they look terrific. the length between the lights is 14ft and the total wire length between the solar charger and the end of the cable is 18ft. The micro usb charger port broke on day two but the solar function is not affected. They lasted for over 5 hours and the light bulbs look to be very good quality. They are very bright for a solar light.

Solar Led String Lights

Would Recommend

I love the ease that these lights were able to be hung. I put these up on my patio fence and they look great .Living by myself I wasn't sure if I could hang these but it was easy. I really like that they are solar so I didn't have to run any cords. I would recommend these to any body that wants a great look.

Solar lights

Would Not Recommend

Let me preface this with when the lights work, they are really bright and pretty. The ones that I received must have a short in the solar battery. I needed to continuously put pressure on plug for the lights to come on. So these didn’t work for me.

Adorable and convenient!

Would Recommend

We used this light set while tent camping with our daughters and it was a big hit. The light bulbs look expensive but are plastic which I found helpful while camping. After camping we loved the lights so much we are going to use them on our deck. You can choose from different modes, but we liked the standard mode where the lights didn’t blink.

Good light output and charge lasts a while!

Would Recommend

The solar panel is pretty good and battery on this lasts well into the night after dark. I'm impressed at how long it lasts, in fact! Have used and returned other products that wouldnt last more than an hour after dark but this was a great surprise! Would buy again!

Love the lights!

Would Recommend

I pulled the lights out of the box and they were well packaged with every bulb individually wrapped. The box said to remove the pull tab from the battery but i couldn't find one. I cut all the wrapping and spent 15 minutes trying to unwrap the cord. We plugged the lights up to the usb connection and charged all day. Installed in tree and that night turned them on. They worked great and looked great. Not sure about the solar charging yet, hope it works good. Other than the instructions th...

We love these patio lights

Would Recommend

These patio string lights are perfect for my back patio. We love using them when having friends over for bonfires. They provide perfect lighting for dark, wooded areas with little to no outdoor lighting. It takes roughly 6 hours for the solar panel to charge and the lights will stay on for up to 8 hours. They are really bright at first and then they slowly start getting more dim as the night goes on. They definitely help save on my utility bill as we spend a lot of time outside in the warm weath...

Portfolio solar 18ft string lights are great.

Would Recommend

We installed the Portfolio 18 Ft solar string lights on the fence outside our garage for additional light at night. The lights give off a soft glow which is perfect for a patio where you want to add lighting that will not attract many bugs. The glow from the lights are soft enough that they do not bother my next door neighbors. The photocell automatically turns on at dusk and is still on when I wake up at 4:30 in the morning. I highly recommend these lights.

2 big issues that make them not a great choice

Would Not Recommend

These lights are okay once they are on and setup, but for the price I do not feel as though these are worth it. The first issue is that the section of cord between the first bulb and the solar panel is very short. Your only option to use these light up high is if you have the solar panel mounted within 3-4ft of the first bulb. This pack comes with a stake to put the solar panel in the ground but you would have to use the lights laying on the ground if you were using this method because the cord ...

Stylish & Convenient

Would Recommend

The lights are stylish with their black finish and clear bulb with the visible internal filament. Each light has a clip on it as well for convenience of clipping on anything including gutters etc. The lights are super simple to use with the only plugging the 18’ string into the solar attachment. Solar attachment has a stake if needed. Lights have multiple patterns of continuous light, slow strobe, fast strobe, & “heart beat” strobe.

LED lights are bright and attractive

Would Recommend

Bright, functional, and attractive. This LED string of lights is very easy to install, just hang on a string or non-electrical wire. The solar panel can be charge in sunlight or by using a standard USB phone charger. You are given the option of mounting the solar panel by using a stake in the ground or screwing it into a wooden support. I used my own method of tying it to a railing. For me, the perfect location for these lights was along my handicap access ramp. I used the "always on" mode which...

THE PERFECT SOLAR LED LIGHTS FOR A SMALL AREA!

Would Recommend

This set of solar LED lights is the perfect size for landscaping and can be put anywhere that gets plenty of sun and best of all no plug in needed!! The black finish on the line does not stand out, in which is good.....because I want to see the lights shining down on my colorful post!

Use anywhere accent light string.

Would Recommend

A solar charge lite string that can be charged with a cell phone charger. Good out of the box thinking. I used mine for accent lighting on my deck. No power to run, hang anywhere. 18ft in length will cover a reasonable amount of handrail. Even has a stake for the solar panel.
