Ratings & Reviews for Portfolio 23.0-ft Solar Black Outdoor String Light with 50 White -Light LED Micro Bulbs

Disappointed

I was so excited to get these but one has stopped working and the other one doesn’t stay lit very long at all.

Nice Short String

Pros: good price, low lighting, short string for small highlighting, solar, auto dusk to dawn Cons: not real bright white light

Pretty good for the price.

These lights are a good deal for the price. 23 feet of lights sounds long but at least 2 feet do not have lights on the cord near the bottom by the solar panel. I wrapped around a small (2x2) round boxwood and it barely covers it. Lights themselves are pretty but have a blueish tinge to them and not as bright as I’d have hoped. So be aware if putting near other string lights they may not “match” the hue. They have an option to flash, too.

Didn’t charge on cloudy days

I only used them for 1 week before returning because on most days, they didn’t charge if it was cloudy.

solar led string lights

I wrapped these around Christmas barb wire wreaths that go out on a fence. No electricity anywhere near these wreaths. They come on a dusk and are still on at dawn. Especially like the blinking feature.

Lasted 2 Days, Animal Ate Soy Covered Wires

What a waste of money and time. After a couple days enjoying several strings of these lights on a tree in our yard an animal (mouse? rabbit?) found the soy-based wire covering too yummy to resist. Ate right through both strands.

Do not buy!!!

Came in one night, never worked again. Solar panel is in full sun all day. This is junk, IMO.

Sw OFF let charge all day in Arizona sun

Zero light. Checked three ni-cad batteries that came wuth set, 1.37volts each? think this would be scufficient to turn on leds?? Will try one more set??

Inconsistent battery

I bought two of these light sets. Both worked great, but I noticed that the lights went out almost immediately after sunset on one of the sets, while the other stayed on till near midnight. I swapped the solar cell base between the two, to see if shade was making a difference in charging time during the day. It turned out that the storage battery in the solar panel was defective.

update lights underwater

I dont know how to update my post below so im doing a new one. Im happy to report the lights are still working beautifully under the water of my fountain. However, i have noticed they dont hold a charge all night long. And we've had hot sunny weather here in CT so i know its been getting plenty of sun. They seem to die 4-6 hours after they come on. Im going to try replacing the batteries with a higher mAh raiting and see if that helps.

they work under water!

Just bought these today 8-2-20. i just finished making my own 3 tier cement water fountain. I wanted to add lights to it but didn't want battery operated ones which would need constant replacement. so I tried these lights. I figured for 9 dollars if I ruin them with water, no big loss. Well they have been in my fountain for about 4 hours and their still going strong, today was cloudy and they still got a good charge on them. I have the solar panel in my deck flower box. My fountain runs 24/7, i ...

cute light set very nice in my deck plants

I wish Lowe’s would restock them as I want to purchase more!

Solar mini light

They last forever and have rechargeable batteries. I have left outside for two years and I live in Zmichigan, cold, snowy winters. But they keep working

Nice for small trees in backyard

Purchase 5 of these for backyard use, easy to set up - nice LED lights at night.

We are very happy with these little lights, so much so we ordered two more.

Outdoor solar light

So far been working, looks nice, wish they had much longer versions.

The lights were the icy blue color. I prefer the warm whites.

Do not waste your money!

These lights do not hold a charge. After a sunny day, I get 2 hours of illumination. Completely disappointed.

solar lights

Lights are small and do not stand out very much on a small bush. They do stay lit for a long period of time. Just make sure to put it on a small bush or space.
