Fantastic for what I needed. I was looking for a solar powered light source to give low lighting in my chicken coop. Some of my birds are procrastinators and stay out till dark (or sometimes later). They then have trouble finding the roosts and empty spots when they do locate them. The lights on the string are very small and since it is attached to a wire it was super easy to string the lights around the top of the coop. When clicked to On/Steady the lights will turn on once it gets dark enough outside.
I haven't had any birds peck the lights and they don't seem overly curious about them which is good. I do not believe the lights give off enough light to provide supplemental light for winter laying, but if my birds do proceed to lay this winter I will update this review so the information is available for anyone who is interested. I suspect they would need more and stronger light though. I added some pictures to give an idea of how much light they provide in the coop.
Works well. I bought a string in the fall from another seller, and they were nice , but this spring, they would only blink, and water had got inside, so I bought 3 strings of these, and dried out my other strand. All are woking perfectly. I prefer the Amir Solar Powered because they have a nicer, single pushbutton operation. So far, heavy rains and no problems!
I ordered a string of these lights and liked them so much that I ordered about 8 more!
CONS:
The only problem experienced thus far: One string didn't work at all. Like many of you, I find it too frustrating to return things, so I just tossed them. Assume about 1 in 10 strings won't work and you'll either need to return them or toss them.
PROS:
* The copper wire makes it easy to wrap these around anything (vertical posts, trees, deck railings, etc).
* Solar power means no fuss with running power to these. Just make sure that the solar panel has access to the sun. Our back yard has a lot of shade, so the panels probably get direct sun about 2 hours of the day (in the summer), so far these lights burn for at least a few hours after sundown.
* The LED lights themselves are tiny (they look like water drops on the copper wire). Some may say that is a con, others may say it is a pro. They're certainly not big enough to provide more than "mood" lighting, but that is great for our outdoor patio setting.
lovely ethereal look... they are easy to affix to tree or shrubbery limbs, due to the nature of the copper wire, easy to handle and position... I bought two sets, put one in my dogwood tree next to the patio.. gave the other one to my son in law.. now, I have bought 3 or 4 more sets.. i'm moving to a new home, and cannot wait to add them to the new lawn design/decor... it has to be totally overcast, most all day long, before you don't get any lights at all for the evening. the number of hours of sun that the sensor gets during the day seems to determine how long they last of a night.. sometimes until around midnight, other times all night long.. til the sun starts to show. they are not meant to illuminate an area, I don't think.. I have been very satisfied with them. so pretty.
I'm very impressed. They stay lit all night adding a perfect glow. I was able to hide the solar panel nicely too. I'll be getting plenty more I'm sure. They are my perfect solution for gentle outdoor lighting. The price is great too. I hope they are durable I'll like to place them in several places in the front and backyard. My picture does not do them justice.

The solar light string has been "as advertised" for me. I purchased this string of solar lights to place outside in front of my house where I recently did some landscaping. I placed the lights on the backside of some small block which lines an area I filled in with rock around some plants. The light comes on every evening and illuminates relatively faintly behind the block to glow on the rocks and plants. The only complaint I have with this string of lights is I wish I would have searched a little longer and purchased "bright white", but that's my own fault. I discussed that with the company and they took my suggestion into consideration, perhaps they'll produce both in the future!
Would give this product a better review but it was not connected well. No amount of sun would make a defective product work. Returned one of two. The other is working as advertised. I would give this product a 5 star review but they need to do better QC.
Review update!: I received a reply from the manufacturer apologizing for the defective product mentioned in the original review. I was very impressed. I had returned the defective string and purchased another. I am happy to report both strings of solar lights wrapped around our old wisteria plant that covers a pergola on our patio are bringing a lot of enjoyment.
We live in an area where fires aren't always possible so we made a safe warm glowing fire (light) we can enjoy all year long.
We placed it ruffled up in our chiminea to mimic a warm glowing fire. It's placed on the slow fade mode so it slowly fades in and out.
Prior to placing it, I sprayed a coat of UV protectant and let soak in 2 days in the sun (charging it too). After 2 days I patted it dry, placed it in a box. In a vented area i hosed (sprayed) with a clear coat lacquer to help protect it from the weather and sun (AZ). I applied 2 more coats, ruffled the light string up and placed it in the pit with the panel on the top ledge. It looks great and homey feeling.
The lights as to be expected, thin wiring followed by tiny leds. Its fragile to say the least but as good as I've seen any where. The panel has a 1 1/2ft lead to the 1st led. The panel is nice sized and build nicely compared to some. Obviously took off the spike but it was lightweight.
1 more would be nice but it's an expensive pet project just for a little more oh and aw
Nice set up, enjoy your project
After fully charging the battery in full daylight, I loved the effect of these lights when placed in a big glass gazing ball set in our yard. It lasted about 4 hours on the first night. The second night, it only lasted about an hour. Replaced the battery and put it into a spot with more direct sunlight. Same thing -- it only lasted about an hour or two. Unfortunately, it appears that the solar panel used is a low-output one that can't fully charge the battery unless placed in direct sunlight for 8 hours or more. As ours is placed where it only gets about 3 hours of direct sunlight and 5-to-6 hours of indirect sunlight, the lights only work for an hour or so at best.
Update (8/2/18): Added one star for customer service that offered a full refund as I was not fully satisfied. It's terrific that they stand behind their products like that. As it is, with the understanding that the solar panel needs full daylight to charge the battery, I will probably wire an extension line from the lights to the solar panel -- where it will be placed in full daylight. If the company ever updates the solar panel technology to charge the battery better in low light, I will buy and test again.
Hi Nicole,
Thank you for your note. Your springing into action less than 24 hours after my feedback was made is impressive.
It is clear that you care about your customers as well as the quality of the products you represent. That is the secret for success in any business and clearly you have your customers best interests at heart. Very enchanting.
I welcome your offer for credit. Those solar lights are wraped around our palm trees at the front driveway and those in the backyard. Removing them is a hassle I did not want to deal with.
Your attitude showing that you stand behind what you sell is what made Amazon the entity it is today. You have demonstrated the same spirit, nack and desire for success. We command you and will remember you going forward. Thanks again and best wishes.
We will return and look you up.
