I love these lights. They charge up full on a sunny day if the attached solar panel is placed in the sun, and the charge lasts all night and into the next day. It automatically goes off when the solar pad senses light. I bought these and placed them in a glass container on my back porch, but I love them so much I actually carry them to my bedroom and use them as a night light each night. The lights are tiny, about the size of a gnat each, and the copper wire looks pretty even during the day. If your looking for a worry free way to light up a deck or porch, these will do the trick. The other thing I love about this product is I didn't have to go buy rechargeable batteries. It is 100% solar powered. It has two settings, continuously on or flashing. I personally don't like the flashing option, as it is a bit hard on the eyes, but keep it always on steady light.

Updating my review to 5 stars after i figured out why the light wasn't working in the first trial.It's a pretty cool LED light strip to add to my backyard. It's not very bright so do not expect to brighten up your backyard, but it adds a character to it and we absolutely love the additional lighting there.Just keep in mind, DO NOT put too much pressure on the light strip itself as it's very sensitive as i believe it needs power to flow through entire strip for it to work, we figured this out from our trial and error to troubleshoot why it isn't working in the first place, after loosening a few key spots the light finally turned on :).And trust me, they have good after sales customer service as well if you run into issues.

I love, love love these lights! I call them my fairy lights. I have 5 sets. Three sets are draped on bushes and two sets are wrapped around two old wagon wheels leaned up against trees on my lawn. I live in the country so when it is dark, they really look great. I love the fact that I don't need a power source - the small solar panel works just great. I love their soft, warm white glow. And I am amazed at their longevity. They come on at dusk and are still burning bright at dawn. They are easy to assemble and install. I look forward to using the blinking light feature when the Christmas holidays come. Overall, I have had a tremendous amount of fun with these lights and I would recommend them to anyone who enjoys a little whimsy in their life.

We have a tree in the middle of our yard, and when we have company over at night for a bonfire people tend to not know that the tree is there - so we needed something to illuminate it, because my overly-indulging Scotch-drinking friends don't notice that they've walked from grass onto the landscaping rocks which surround the tree. Scotch will do that to people.Our tree isn't huge, and I didn't intend to cover the entire thing - just the branches along the bottom portion (it is an umbrella-shaped tree) and I am very happy with these lights. They were a snap to install and they appear to be weather-proof, too. They're not blindingly bright, but they are enough to say: 'Hey, there's a tree here, and slow down on the Scotch!'

Very pleased with these solar lights. The solar panel seemed big enough to drive these small rice-sized lights on copper wires. The copper wires blend in well with the natural redwood fence that the lights are mounted. The fence faces the street, so blending in was important to me. So in the daytime, you can hardly see that there are lights mounted on the fence. But when night falls, the fence is lit with a very delicate, but visible, warm white light. I have not checked on it in the middle of the night, like before dawn, to see if they are still on. I am pleased they are on whenever I have a chance to look at them; I've seen them on up to 7 hrs after dusk. If this last for months, I will get another one and wrap a tree or bush with it.TIP: think about how you are going to wrap the wire before you unwind the wire. The wires are small and can easily become entangled.

They worked for 3 years

We had a little trouble with one string of these: the copper wire is a little fragile, and you can't just twist broken wire together and have it work. The return was easy, and I'm really happy with the two strings I bought. Nice, soft white light. We ran them along the top of a garden enclosure, and they are magical. These are perfect too for putting inside a jar or bottle because the wire is so thin: in other words, these are more easily stuffed inside than the usual green or white plastic strands. On the other hand, if you want to be able to move them from here to there, like use them in different places, I would get the type that have the plastic coated wire instead. These have no coating, just the copper wire running between the lights. Note that they don't put out a lot of light like a traditional strand of Christmas lights do, but we like the low key ambience of these. Like I said, magical. Just be gentle.

5+ months later and still working great. I used them during a camping trip in September 2016 inside my large tent the first few nights, then outside the tent the remainder of the nights when it did not rain. Very beautiful and decorative. Actually bright enough that we could see one another inside the tent, but dim enough that it did not attract BUGS. It helped my youngest son, who does not like pitch black darkness. I will be ordering another one just to use around my window.-Solar power worked well for me. Had to make sure it was in sunlight more time than expected.- Nice length for wrapping around tents, trees, etc. There are no clips, but the thin wire is very FLEXIBLE!- Lights remained bright for 8 hours, then gradual dimming occurred.- The stake that secures it in the ground wasn't as strong as expected, so I did not use it much. (Note: Desert ground/dirt needs to be softened)

They’ve lasted quite a while and are super cute at night. The solar works great and lights up well.

Update: after about a year of basically just leaving them on constantly in Pittsburgh weather, they're still going. Not as bright or long lasting in the winter, but add a welcoming aspect to the space that my neighbors have appreciated. Definitely impressed with the durability of the lights themselves and the solar power. I love having cute little lights without using any power! So efficient! (You will get less light time/brightness in cloudy/rainy places like PGH).Original review: Very easy to set up, though I had to unwind in order to wrap across my balcony roof. Makes the space a little more welcoming. A small balcony I got 100 LEDs but could easily have 200 for more variety. Easy to use and turn on/off. Don't overwork the wire though, as it could snap (I have similar ones for my bicycle spokes which I have broken before).
