Thanks to the USB ports, I can also recharge the lights in a pinch and even use the kit as a mini solar generator — to charge my phone on the go. These LED solar lights are waterproof as well, so you can safely use them for both the Christmas tree and exterior decoration. One pack contains lights, which is more than enough for the whole yard. The solar unit comes with a light sensor, so the lights turn on at dusk and flick off during the day.
I discovered that the solar panel can charge the battery even on heavily overcast days, after which the lights work for almost 8 hours. I bought these warm white fairy lights because of the bendable copper wires which allow me to wrap the lights around different objects, and even bend them in simpler shapes. Another way to use these lights is to attach panels to any vertical structure with zip ties.
This feature makes these holiday lights great for your pergola, veranda, or gate. I noticed a funny thing with mine — they seem to turn off in below zero weather. Still, after I turn them off and on manually, everything seems fine.
These quirky water-drop holiday lights are perfect for users who want a colorful light display this season. I love the multicolor mode which you can pick instead of a warm white.
These lights are bright enough for romantic ambient lighting. On the downside, the string is only 20ft long and needs to be handled with care. Also, these solar Christmas lights only seem to work at a certain darkness level. With solar-powered lights, this affordable kit is ideal for illuminating your Christmas tree or entrance. Solar power makes these lights fully autonomous, so you can mount them in places where running a power cord would be inconvenient.
The manufacturer claims at least 8 hours of illumination, but the reality is much shorter. Even when fully charged, the lights last from dusk to about 1 AM. You might have longer working hours with a replacement battery. Also, I noticed that some LED bulbs shine brighter than others. Unlike their buzzing counterparts, these LED honey bees rest in the daytime and get busy at night. Keep in mind that these lights are far less durable than standard Christmas LEDs. These beautiful solar powered icicle lights come with a thin string, so you can wrap them easily around branches, vines, and fences.
These solar-powered Christmas lights are not super bright but will give you about 5 hours of illumination when fully charged. The first set of lights I bought stopped working after 2 weeks, and the manufacturer sent me a new one. The whole set of lights feels flimsy out of the box, so it's a good thing they offer a month warranty. With fairy lights, this Christmas lighting kit glitters like real stars and creates a fairy-tale ambiance for any room.
The bendable 33ft string allows you to get creative and flex the lights into different shapes. These LED string lights give away a soft romantic glow, so they might just be the thing you need for those holiday Instagram shots. Although advertised as energy-efficient, keep in mind that these lights are not solar powered. They don't need batteries but will consume more electricity than lights that run on solar energy. Instead of pollen, these 30 busy bees harvest sunlight.
You can use them indoors, but these solar bees feel at home outdoors as well, thanks to the IP65 waterproof rating. Now, the manufacturer claims that after a full sunny day, the lights give you no less than 10 hours of illumination, but in my experience, hours is more realistic.
If you like honey bee lights, there are other more durable products around. Instead of one, in this kit you get 10 light strings with a total of miniature LED stars. If you need to illuminate a signpost or entwine a whole tree in warm white glitters, tick this one. On the downside, these strand lights are incredibly easy to get entangled if you don't take care. Also, the solar panel that works as the power box seems to have a will of its own — there are times when lights refuse to work even after a full day of charging.
These snowflake lights allow you to bring some of the dazzling winter magic indoors. Although the battery they came with was solid, it seems that the solar panel is the weakest link, as it takes at least 12 hours of direct sunlight for the LED snowflake lights to work for 4 hours. However, although the manufacturer claims 8 hours of illumination, that is largely optimistic, even after exposing the panel to direct sunlight for an entire day.
These lights are tiny but also quite fragile. If the lights get entangled with the Christmas tree, make sure to untie them with care. These warm white lights are easy and quick to install, but although listed with a waterproof rating, I had to caulk the top of the tube where the wires go with silicone to keep the rain out. These star string lights are for those looking for something completely different.
These LED lights are weatherproof, so you can freely use them to decorate fences, shrubs, even tufts of grass. My star lights fade quickly after a couple of hours, no matter how long I charge them. Maybe a more powerful rechargeable battery could solve the issue.
I also discovered that wires come out relatively easy, so you may want to fix that before using these light outdoors. No risk of snapping or entangling here. Unfortunately, I wish these lights came with more durable electronics and better quality LED bulbs.
They still work after two Christmas seasons, but are so unreliable I had to ditch them for a product that works all the time. Maybe I was sold a dud, but I decided to go with a more durable option, as having solar lights that become junk themselves after one holiday season is not my idea of sustainability.
Unbelievably romantic, these round crystal ball solar holiday lights seem ideal for any festive occasion. String them up for a romantic dinner or create a chillout nook in the backyard. The main selling points for these round LED bulbs shaped as crystal balls are the multiple color options, and the memory function that remembers the lighting modes you used last time. I wish there is more to say about these solar lights, except that their performance is exceptionally bad, even with the upgraded solar controller that is supposed to make the illumination last up to 10 hours.
On the first day of charging they gave off a dim light, and the next day they stopped working. By no means can I recommend this product.
Many Christmas lighting options are made of plastic. They are guaranteed to work longer, especially if you mount them outside. Even the best solar Christmas lights have a service life, so you should look for a set that lets you replace individual bulbs easily.
If you get a lighting kit that doesn't allow you that, you may have to look for a new one each season. Most solar LED lights require eight hours of sunshine a day to work decently after dark. Make sure you know how much sunshine your yard gets on an average day before you choose solar holiday lights.
If someone lives in a city with a lot of sun, and their property gets a lot of sunlight, solar lights may work. Those living in places such as Vancouver or up north may have difficulty getting the lights to actually light up. This is something you can check easily in your browser. When comparing warranties, you should know that money back is one thing and a replacement warranty is the other.
Light kits with IP65 protection should be able to handle dust, snow, and heavy rain. Still, make sure you read product reviews, as not all manufacturer ads are honest about waterproofing. Make sure the Christmas lights you buy come with an installation manual. Look for products that are easy to install and avoid those that get entangled easily.
Some of the lights have bendable copper strings that allow you to make different shapes. A typical set consists of a portable photovoltaic panel which also acts as a control box and a string with LED lights attached. Quality solar LED lights have low consumption and once charged last for at least 8 hours. Also, you want a product that is going to last for several holiday seasons at least. Otherwise, you'll have to deal with electronic waste every time you take them down.
Apart from choosing a kit with a solar panel that is protected with tempered glass, you need to consider the type of panel as well. Between polycrystalline solar panels, monocrystalline solar panels, amorphous silicon, and concentrated PV cells, keep in mind that monocrystalline and concentrated PV have the best efficiency and longer service life.
Still, many of them lack the manual switch. Related Categories. Show: 12 24 Sort By: Position Rating Name. Page: 1 2. Solar Christmas Party Lights in 5 colours In stock. Shop now. Solar Fairy Lights White 1 In stock.
