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

Bright, long lasting and easy to install.

Pretty lights that are easy to hang, though the clips could be tighter on the socket to prevent them shaking lose when the wind picks up on my canopy install. Bright bulbs are shatter resistant LEDs and will illuminate up to 8 hours. The lights can also be charged using a Micro USB cable (not included). The unit comes with 4 possible light settings, 1-Continous light, 2-Slow Strobe, 3-Fast Strobe, and 4-Heartbeat Strobe. They have a nice quality feel and look.

Decorative, Easy to Install

I read the description of the Harbor Breeze18.5-ft Solar Black Outdoor String Light with 15 White-Light LED Globe Bulbs and thought it would be ideal to string above our outdoor grill on our patio. We do not have an electric outlet on the patio and the solar power source seemed an ideal solution. Trying to grill with a flashlight is less than ideal. The set consists of a solar cell which contains the battery and the control switches (one switch for on/off, the other to change from always on to v...

Bright, versatile lights

I love these solar lights. The bulb style is very trendy and each bulb has a hook on it for ease of hanging if you have a wire or other type of bracket. That should cut down on the strand blowing loose in the wind. I also like that the solar panel has a USB plug if you need it when solar charging isn't an option. It comes with a stake to put in the ground, as well as mounting screws for a wall or post. The lights are bright, even in the daytime as you can see in the photo.

Self-contained (no external power needed)

These outdoor solar string lights were a nice addition to my recent Gazebo build. Since they are solar powered, there is no need to worry about stringing a long extension cord to them. The lights have 4 different modes - continuous light, slow strobe, fast strobe, and heartbeat strobe - frankly I don't see a use for any of the strobe versions, but maybe someone else will. The solar panel has a built-in battery that charges throughout the day and some type of light sensor that keeps the lights...

Could have been a very nice set of lights

I chose to receive this product for review because I have a patio area that could use some festive functional lighting. This string of 15 lights looks very nice, each bulb is shatter resistant feels and looks like clear round plastic. Each bulb screws in which would make it a simple task to replace a bulb if replacement were made available guide states to use 0.12 watt G40 Filament LED Bulb, the screw in also gives a chance to examine contacts if weather causes an issue. The lamps provide a goo...

Look nice, confusing warranty and instructions

My first impression about the lights were they are going to work perfectly for what I need them for. They are the exact lenght needed, small enough globe size to not be too noticeable and shouod give off the right amount of light for the time needed. Well, the description is wrong about working time, I am only getting 2 - 3 hrs of light from a full charge, or at least it says its a full charge. I originally charged them up using the optional usb port and only got 20 minutes of run time. It had b...

Great accent light!

The hardest part of the installation is finding the perfect spot to hang the lights. Once you have removed the plastic from the bulbs, they are ready to install. Be sure to pick a sunny spot for the solar panel to receive sunlight to get a full charge. They are very light weight and since they are LED, they don't produce any heat to damage surfaces. The various modes are also interesting for various moods you may want to establish.

Great Amount of Light for Solar Powered LED

Surprisingly more light than I was expecting. It comes with different lighting modes, but the standard mode is great. Bulbs have a classic look while still being LED

Outdoor solar powered string lights

I installed these lights in the trees behind my house to light up a small patio area. After charging the batteries with the solar panel for the day the lights provided great illumination for the patio. They also have a USB charging option. The lights have a manual push button on/off switch and a mode switch with four settings. Constant on, slow pulse, fast pulse, and heartbeat modes. Installation was easy, everything worked as designed after charging the batteries, and the single string was perf...

Nice yard accent lights.

This is an eighteen (18) feet long set of LED lights perfect for a yard /patio. It is solar powered and just needs to be placed where it can get sun during the day in order to charge. The lights are not too bright so they aren't blinding you. They stay on up to 8 hours but I haven't been up long enough to see them turn off.

Great

Love the lights. They are easy to install. I like that it has a solar panel that you can charge if needed. The charge last a long time and the lights put off a good amount of light.

Portfolio LED solar string light set

Portfolio has a very nice set of LED lights. These lights are solar powered so no need for wiring, very easy to install. LED lights come with 4 settings (continuous, slow strobe, fast strobe & heartbeat strobe. The solar panel can either be mounted on wall or in ground with the provided stake. LED's are removable so I would suggest removing when installing string set-up.

Bright String Lights

Harbor Breeze 18.5-ft Solar Black Outdoor String Light with 15 White-Light LED Globe Bulbs First they have to be charged, then check out the on off switch, and the mode switch. I had plans to install high above the pool, but due to a short wire to the solar panel it would be out of reach to change settings. After testing the 4 modes decided I didn't need the flashing lights, just the steady light. It has built in ability to turn off when it is light out and charges the battery if the sun is sh...

Great concept ideal for unique situations

After receiving this solar outdoor string lights it was incredible the packaging of each bulb with a plastic wrap. The bulbs look great (on or off) and while solar has never excited me, these bulbs shine bright! I will say that an improvement could be for them to be on a photo eye as to turn them off you have to press the button on the solar panel. If your heart desires there are several modes for the lights to blink or pulsate but i prefer the the constant glow. There is a USB feature to manua...

Not for full time use

Pretty nice. They have a lot of different modes for different moods. You can change it with a mini USB but you cannot use the lights with it plugged in. I would also say that these feel pretty cheap. They are not heavy duty. They would be good for an event but I wouldn't plan to use them daily.

A decent choice with more features than necessary

I’m assuming you already researched the main parts so I’ll talk about the things you might not be able to google at first glance. The packaging is pretty good compared to others I’ve seen in the past. The light bulbs are already installed and wrapped in plastic even if the bulbs themselves are LED and shatterproof. Packaging is a plus compared to others where they would ship each bulb wrapped in plastic and not yet installed. The one thing I would say I miss from others in the past is a clip...

Nice Solar LED Lights

These Portfolio Solar LED string lights are a nice quality set of 15 lights for a total length of 18 feet. The light set comes complete with the string of lights, solar panel, ground stake, mounting screws and anchors for wall mounting. They are lightweight due to being LED and made of plastic. You can charge the lights either from sun with solar panel or you can charge with a USB cord (not included) for initial charging. They are waterproof so ideal for outdoor use. The lights have four differe...

Quaint bulbs that work well

Installed this bulbs in my backyard and I'm very happy with them overall. They charged after a particularly sunny day and went strong all week for a few hours each day on a single charge. They also have a micro USB charger which is nice from a flexibility standpoint. The bulbs were pretty bright and a nice soft warm hue which was perfect to set a quaint backyard atmosphere. Things I would've liked ideally are a way to tell where the charge is at and a USB c receptacle since micro USB is very o...

Bright, Long Lasting, Solar Powered String Lights

I have been thoroughly enjoying this set of solar powered string lights. The bulbs are quite bright and are not flimsy, they should tolerate a variety of weather. Each bulb also has an attachment hook to help with whatever hanging style you're looking for. The solar panel comes with a ground stake or you can utilize the included screws to mount it higher up. It also has a micro usb port for wired charging (suggest doing this before first use) and the panel has small red lights to let you know it...

Great Outside Solar Lights

This set of black Harbor Breeze Solar Lights was easy to set up. We have had rain for 7 days straight with no sun in sight so we charged them via usb cord. Then the sun finally came out and we set the solar panel in the sun and charged it for two days. The set works beautifully. If you want the lights to come on before it gets dark, just turn the solar panel in to where there is no light and they light up. I included pics with them beaming bright before night fell. Wish they were a longer ...
