lights are very nice color I wanted (warm/yellowish as opposed to cool white which often is blueish) As far as I can tell they work well but I have had lights before that lasted years in all sorts of weather and some that have quit after a month or two and I haven't had these long enough to let you know which these will be but so far so good. I would prefer to have lights with only one function as it seems there is less to go wrong but this seems to be hard to find. I do not want flashing etc and sometimes when there is more than one function they "magically" change functions after being set and need to be reset which I assume may one day lead to them getting "stuck" on the one function you don't want. I think this mainly happens with the small mini lights rather than the fairy lights but I have ordered both kinds and am not sure which ones I am reviewing!

Two years after purchase these little lights are still going strong. They are hung under the bamboo shade portion of my upper deck awning and over the past two years have endured freezing temperatures, monsoon-like rain, piles of snow, and some pretty hot temps during the summer. The Pacific NW weather has been much colder and very hot over the past few years, and these lights have weathered it all! I have been pleasantly surprised by the durability of this light string. It has exceeded my expectations and outlasted all my other solar strings in my backyard. It also is always on at dusk, even if the day was very cloudy.

I bought these to use on my camper awning. Although I've not had the chance to use them yet, I did charge them up and tested the lights. I am very pleased with the soft ambient lighting they provide. It's a nice white/yellow light and not so bright to be distracting. (think a tiny candle lights). For those that say the lights didn't work out of the box, I'm wondering if they made the same mistake I did. I charged the solar panel by lamplight indoors and turned them on. They flashed and then went off. I thought they were broke but realized it has to be dark for the sensor to work. (Duh. That's what allows them to charge during the day and automatically come on at night.) They are strung on a thin copper wire and the "bulbs" look almost like drops of hot glue. I'm concerned about the wire easily kinking if moved a lot, (so my weekend camp trips might not be the best use for them) but if hung up and left, they should be fine. Other than to test if they worked, I haven't used them yet so I can't speak for durability.

We Love these we bought 2 of the 100 and 1 of the 200 for larger palm. I want to do the front too. Just point the solar to the south and turn on to charge. I turn off at night once we go inside to save the charge and turn on again in the morning it’s so easy just press a button. I’m sure in the summer when there is sun all day I will just leave on. They hold an 8 hour charge or more. They recharge only in the on position. I placed some of the solar panels up high because of our block wall so that the panel gets hit by the sun. Just tuck in the stake behind the palm out of sight. I weaved though the copper wire I have a palm that has a looser trunk and stuck the stake through that to keep the solar panel up high where the sun hits. If you get sun on the ground at this time of year then Just put the panel stake right in the ground.

This is a shorter replacement for a set of 2 similar I bought elsewhere. Love the copper wiring and the fact that it doesn’t tangle/snag easily. Love that it’s solar (not accessible to an outlet).

for backyard

The media could not be loaded. Really long. Lasts all night. Many settings on the patterns. Very durable. Left it out all winter and still works.

I got this from Amir and this is an interesting one. Package is small as you see in the picture. When you open the package you have the string light with the solar panel, the legs which you need to attach to the panel and the opposite side of the leg that goes in the soil for installation. String is 33 feet long with 100 lights and is a copper string which looks nice. Product is well made as well. I tested the solar panel and didn't see any issue. The accuracy of the light sensor is very good. It turns on if light is not enough and I tested during night with the deemed light in the room. When lights are deemed to about 20% the string light come on which is very good I believe. A cool thing is that when string light are on you barely see the copper string which is very nice. I think price is relatively good compared to other options available. This can be used to decorate something like a handrail up to 30 feet long, or around a planter or tree, or simply expand and put it all in a large enough glass container which I like it as well. Also can be used along the sides of a walkway as a guide which can be cool. I recommend this product overall.

The media could not be loaded. I bought these fir my privacy lattice. Just For looks. Can change them fro blinking to fading, still or whatever floats your boat. Since these are intertwined in my lattice, they stay out all winter..in OHIO..as in snow belt OHIO. they function all year long. Nice when there is snow on the lattice n it lights up. Not as long of course, less sun in winter but for 4 to 5 hours. Summertime, they're on all night. Love it!

Used above garage door, lights are bright. Hard to find the right setting.
