Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I bought several strings of these lights to outline our rather large flower and vegetable garden, where I spend a lot of time working and relaxing. The lights come on during my favorite part of the day, dusk(or is it night?. They were expensive but perform well, staying on for quite a good while. The solar cell is flexible so you can aim it for maximum sun exposure. I affixed mine easily to some of the structures I've made for the garden area.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

Received many compliments on my solar lights. I like the many different combinations that can be programmed into them. They look great on my rear deck overlooking the rock garden.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

Bought three strands for a medium sized liquid amber tree in backyard garden setting. When first installed didn't care for bc the twinkle settings were schizophrenic like in their timing. Followed instructions and have them set just to on and absolutely love them. Had wanted them to twinkle but personally I would not use these for that purpose. The size and very high quality, however, somehow give them a similar effect when just on on setting. In the end, I LOVE these lights and do highly recommend. Solar powers easily and fully. Will make you smile!

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

This purchase is my second. I love the lights just wish they weren't so expensive. I plan to buy a string a year as long as they are available. I have strung them in a tree next to the hot tub. They are so pretty and don't add much light.
I live in very wet Western Oregon and left the string up all winter-it is working just fine.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

Love these lights. So easy to use (and remove when necessary).

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I ordered white solar outdoor lighting and received disgusting blue lights. Installed the very expensive lights after the invoice had been disposed of. Box is marked white lights. Extremely disappointed.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

Great in entry porch draped on ferns.. lovely welcoming good light. Great at front gate cactus so people know which house they are approaching at night and festive. I have two sets and am buying another today.

I have the panel in good sun and they are still on in the morning when I get up.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I bought one set last year for an 8ft cedar, this year I added another set to increase the illumination. It is attractive low-key, needs no care. I will probably have to change the older rechargeable batteries for the third season

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

We use them for holiday decor and it is so nice to not have to be concerned about turning them on and off.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

easy to use-convenient-no worries about running outdoor electric cords..

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

We have 2 strings of these lights on our little Gingko Tree "planted to celebrate a life well lived"--the life of our 18 year old grandson who tragically drowned on June 22, 2008. His sparkling personality is reflected in these sparkling lights. It brightens our holiday season as we look out the window and we love it!

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I use it to illuminate the garden arbor. I love when it starts getting dark and they slowly begin to power on..it looks so delightful and really accents the arbor. The product information and instruction are easy to read and follow. A bit expensive but surely worth it.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

These lights are strung around our patio in the backyard. Since we don't like bright lights, but need just a little illumination to see by at night, they are great for our needs and look pretty as well.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

We greatly enjoy our nightly light show. It is fascinating, to watch the changing of the lights.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

Love them - just wish they would go on sale so I could buy a bunch.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

We primary use these lights when we go camping and around the holidays. They are really easy to set up, charge quickly and stay lit all night. The various patterns that the lights blink in are great, especially for dance parties and camping when it is difficult to find your way back to the campsite. If you set them to be on constantly, they create enough light to see and work by allowing us to save our lanterns and flashlights for more important ventures and activities.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

Used on garden arch. 3 strands understated plenty. In catalog, those are 10 strands--would have been way too much

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I have purchased 9 strings, so far...I keep coming back for more. I have them strung in the pine trees around the perimeter of my backyard, creating a festive atmosphere year-round...reminiscent of twinkling fire flies in the summer and a virtual wonderland in the winter. You will love the dramatic effect of these lights...take advantage of the quantity discount.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

After reading some of the reviews I was concerned about the cost/benefit of these lights. I love that they are solar and couldn't be easier to use and set-up. A month ago I put them on a ramada that covers the walkway to my front door. They provide a soft, welcoming light and are truly lovely. They come on each evening without fail and last until dawn. I bought a similar set from a local hardware store for $20. They seem a little less hardy in quality, and are much shorter in length. So far I'm very happy with both.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

We are delighted with these solar lights. The illumination is amazing; the lights look like brilliant stars. It doesn't take much sun to charge them for the entire night. In fact, there hasn't been a night since we purchased them last month when they haven't been lit all night. We plan to buy more of them. Wish they weren't so expensive, or would at least go on sale. Price is the only downside that we've encountered. We had researched these lights and did not find anything comparable.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

Have only had lights installed for 1-month, so can not testify to durability. We found the installation screws defective so we needed to use our own. Despite one string of lights not going very far, we're enjoying the sparkly effect in our patio/garden.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

the illuminitaion levels are very low - need to use them very densely spaced to get an effective illumination of any level.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I purchased just one set to try it out after reading the reviews about this product. We like it so much after installing it on our deck that I ordered another one. We are very pleased and will use it on our front porch during the holidays. I just wish that the price would go down after the first purchase(instead of purchasing 3 of the same item)

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

We installed these lights under the top railing of our deck. We love them! They create a subtle glow to the deck.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

My husband built an arch for me and I added these lights to it. It is in a flowerbed a long ways from any power source. We live out in the country, and it is nice to see as we drive home in the dark.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

This, at over $70 a strand is definitely a luxury item. Would be nice if the price could comedown so that it was more affordable to the general public.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I would love to give this product a 5-star rating, but can't. Gardener's has already replaced 2 strands... and now THEY are not working either. I love when they are lit... it makes me so happy. But the product is really expensive to have to replace every 3 months or so. Wish they lasted longer.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I would have liked these quite a bit, but they stopped working within a week of getting charged, despite the charger being placed in a sunny location.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

The jury is still out about the lights. I was amazed they worked but they have three settings and two are blinking and awful. It sometimes is difficult to get them to not blink, and I am wondering if it damaged due to weather. I am intending to drape them over an arch and then vines to grow on top of them for a wedding. We will see.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I installed them inside the rim of the pergola so that it didn't look like I forgot to un-decorate after the holidays. Really pretty and delicate lighting. I find myself standing around waiting for the sun to go down now :) They charge well even on overcast days. For those who threw out the instructions and don't like the flashing: there are 7 different sequences (modes). Click to 'Auto' then let the lights cycle and when you get to steady on, click the mode switch.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I bought seven of these strings and two stopped working after just a few nights. When they work, they're spectacular. But disappointing when they stop working so soon.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I bought two for my husband for Christmas & we got them to work after we read the instructions (did not turn on switch)

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I'm enjoying have a little lit arborvitae at the end of my yard, far away from any electrical outlet.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I've only had the solar lights for a short period of time but so far they are performing well. I display them on a small tree near my deck which makes a decorative touch and slight illumination on my deck at night.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

Love the product, but it is costly. the picture in the catalog must contain several strands of light. 1 strand was [$]/thought I would get more lights for the price. When it goes on sale I will buy several more.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

Quick and easy, too bad it is not made in USA.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

Truly looks beautiful. We installed one strand on the arbor in the Texas garden. We are very pleased with the way the lights blink, the color and the brightness. We plan on purchasing two additional strands very soon.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

wish the solar lights stayed on and did not blink

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

Unfortunately, I am reluctant to hang these lights on my front stoop, because, in my urban setting, my covetous neighbors might well make off with them. So ... they twinkle merrily away in my back garden, reliably charging each day and reliably twinkling through each night. In a samll concession to the passing of the Holiday season, I may well switch them to "solid" (rather than twinkling) and just enjoy the glow year-round. I am very pleased.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

An expensive, but attractive way to provide some interesting tree lighting in places without electricity.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

These lights are great! The bulbs are smaller that I thought they'd be, but they illuminate our back deck well. They were a bit expensive, but maybe they will last a number of years. They even charge and shine through 8 inches of snow!

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

Even in cloudy skies the small solar panel provides light all night long to these LEDs.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

We are using these lights at our ranch out on the front gate where there is no electricity. They are bright and add festive lights to the wreaths we put on our entrance for the Christmas Holidays.I will use them in different places for ranch parties too. Great product! Would love more colors too!

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

Although I love the solar lights, they are very expensive and one string does not cover a large area. I have mine over a garden arbor. I tried them on a small tree, but I would need more strings than I choose to buy (due to the expense)! They are magical when lit, but the illumination fades quickly if the sun has not powered them enough, and in New England we are getting our share of cloudy days!

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

These lights were easy to install. We installed them on a cloudy day and still had twinkling lights 3 hours later at nightfall. We like the dramatic, pretty look on our deck and in a nearby tree.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

We have had two strings - a blue and a red and green - up in a year-round Christmas tree - for more that 2 years. They finally had a problem when we had a terrific wind storm and some of the strings were stretched between limbs that moved more than the slack we left in the strings. We had to reconnect some of the torn strings - but they work perfectly again. This time we put them inside our carport - panels outside! We love them.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

The lights are a great idea but they don't have that special twinkle that Christmas lights are supposed to bring to us.
These lights are awful and have a bluish, gray tint to them when lit. They really look depressing!!! Nothing like the beautiful white, bright lights twinkling in the season's breath! After all, it's only for a brief moment in time that we have this specialness once a year!!

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I used these lights around our patio and archway and it reminded me of a fairy tale garden. It looked enchanting with all the lights around.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I was only able to do 2 small branches of a tree and would have to have at least 2 more strans to acceive the desired effect. that would make them too costly.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

This is the second string that I have purchased. They are scalloped across my backyard fence and I love the way they look. The older string stays on only until midnight (perhaps, it doesn't get full sun to recharge). The new string stays on until dawn. Yes, the bulbs have a blue-ish tint as opposed to white, but it doesn't bother me. I don't have to worry about eletrical connections, etc. If you can get past the price, these are great lights.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

We have nine hours of sun every day until October. One string worked one night, the second string worked three nights and the third string is the only one still working, and it's two weeks old. Good idea if they just worked![$] they are worthless! DO NOT BUY!

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I love the solar as I don't have to remember to plug on or off. They twinkle & give me the look I want!

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

These lights were used on an arbor in my garden for my daughter's late evening wedding. We did not have electricity in the area and the solar power was perfect. The color is a soft blue white not white white and was just what we wanted. If you are looking for a bright white light, this is not it. There are lots of options for setting how the lights work. They can be steady or several different types of blinking. It was easy to choose the desired setting.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

These were easy to put up on my arbor. They stay on all night until the sun comes up. Even on our most overcast day, they still were bright until 5am. They come on at dusk and are beautiful! I have had many compliments on them. If I could afford them, I would have more in my garden.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I used three strings for the arch in my back garden. They are beautiful, but I have been unable to get all three to synchronize. It is not a problem of the product, just the operator!

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I love the lights the clear are perfect however I also ordered the red & green & those are all green

I have these on the lattice on my patio. I love the auto setting.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I wish there were more lights on a string and/or that they were less expensive, but these lights are beautiful!! Highly recommended!

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

It's so nice to have these delicate, pretty lights come on every night and stay on until dawn without any trouble or increased electricity use.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I have four strands on my garden arch. The lights make a welcoming addition to my garden. I have received lots of positive comments on them. They were very easy to install and I intend to leave them up year-around!

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

Careful handling them. That's when I noticed the lights would short out. They look great on the arbor and in the garden. The illumination is a pretty one, but do not expect one strand to light up an area for safe walking up & down stairs.
I still enjoy them, but have replaced some of them and that has been costly.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I wrapped them around the railing of my patio. They are beautful in the evening...sparkling and making me happy!!!

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I bought these to try out because they were a little pricey--but they exceeded my expectations and I plan to purcahse a few more sets for Christmas decorations. Now I have them wrapped around a metal arbor in my garden and they are whimsical and fun at night!

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

it is a great product, but to really get a great effect you really need 4 to 5 set of lights and the makes the cost to expensive

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

Very easy and convienant. They sparkle all night long! It it easy to mount the small solar panel.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I used them to light the top of an umbrella we have on our pool deck. I removed the ball that sits on top and screwed the solar collector on in its place. I did not want to see a cord running across the deck so solar was the answer. These lights put off a subtle glow, like star light. The one drawback is they do have that blueish tinge that you see from any LED. All and all I am happy with the look.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

My lights are in small trees around the pool area. They add an attractive ambiance to the atmosphere at night. The only negative is the expense.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I was really looking for something that was more like fireflys. This was nice

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

The first set of lights we purchased worked so well that we purchased 2 addt'l sets. The solar charges work fantastic. We like the flexibility of choosing different lighting patterns. We put these out for a party and our guests remarked on how pretty they were and then were pleasantly surprised to find out they are solar. We've had a ton of rain since installing the lights and they've held up just fine. It would be nice if there were more lights on a string. The picture in the catalog is a bit misleading - in fact, it would be helpful to know just how many lights are on the trellis in the photo. If you want to highlight a large area, you will probably need to purchase more lighting strings than you anticipate. However, since the lights are solar, they are well worth it. A nice accent to anyone's yard.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

After a day of full sun the lights remained lit until the next morning

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

the string lights are in the garden and they are very bright and stay lit all night long. they're great

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I use these solar lights on my arbor and they are delightful. They even shine during evenings of overcast or rainy days, just not as long. Just bought my second set.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

We purchased these to decorate a tree far from the house last year. The first set worked for one day. Gardner's Supply as usual, replaced them [...] The next set worked last season, but wouldn't work this year.Two new sets purchased this year worked, BUTthe light they provide is described by my family as a crazy, psychotic, migraine inducing blinking. Someone needs to work on these and make them more palatable. It is still a worthwhile idea. Keep trying, GS!

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I put three strings on a blue spruce I planted in the back yard. Love how robust they are and they gather a charge very well. They don't last all night, but last well past 11pm in winter. There is ample length of cord from the last light to the solar charger so you can easily put multiple strings on one tree and you can easily locate the solar charger at the optimal location. Pricey product, but so far I am happy. Hope that they last.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

PLaced on outdoor tree with great result!

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

Great for decorating where there is not power

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I love these lights! You can put them anywhere without having to worry about wires. They are really quite bright and the various modes are very entertaining. These lights are also for those people who haven't put up lights because of the hassle (and for everyone else). Well worth the money.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

These lights are great. I decorated the front of the house with them for Christmas and look great. I am amazed of the power these tiny lights have and they stay on all night till morning. The price is a little high, but they work very well. I hope they last a long time.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

This has been the best! After a full day of sunshine these lights stay illuminated throughout the night. What a welcoming site from dusk to dawn.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

charged batteries in proper charger for first night out. The string looked great for one night. Second night the string looked only half as bright. Third night the string did not light at all. Recharged batteries in charger and the lights don't work at all. Tried second set of batteries still not working. Will return.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I so love this idea but they take awhile to come on at night and they are extremely hard to see. I've bunched them together to make it easier to see but really they are terribly disappointing.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I always have had good success with your products - the solar string lites, however, have never worked for me ...

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I spent more than I usually would on an item such as this, but have never seen anything like these lights. They are not too much, yet they illuminize beautifully (tasteful). I purchased one strand then two more and wrapped them around the top beams of my Pergola - they look like stars! Pleased so far.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I placed on a grouping of shrubs in our front yard. I smile every time I see it-it's like Christmas in the summer. Friends who go by feel the same, something unexpected that reminds us of a special time of the year.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

String lights were hung on an entry garden arbor with great results! The solar panels were mounted on the top of the arbor to maximize sunlight for charging of batteries. The optional led sequence is a nice added feature. Highly recommend!

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

These lights put out no light at all. Barely glowed after days in the sun. Would love to send them back but have lost all paper work. Terribly disappointed.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I HAVE IT STRUNG THROUGH MY GRAPEVINES, I LOVE THE FACT IT TURNS ON & OFF BY ITSELF. THE LOOK IS PERFECT.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

a bit dim, but otherwise nice. These will not illuminate anything per se, more sort of twinkly decoration (not bright at all).

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I hesitated to buy these because they are so expensive, but am pleased with the product. They were easy to set up, and work really well. If they were less expensive, I would buy more.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

Currently it's illuminating tropical plants in the pool area, but I can foresee many uses for it during the holiday season

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

The one thing, for me, that would have been helpful, is a longer lead line. I need to put the solar panel about 14' away from the tree, so in doing this I had some lights running on the ground. Other than that, my tree looks great.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

Only one of the 6 or 7 strands works

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

These lights went on our back deck to provide just enough light to be social. The different "paces" they can go thru are great, mostly we have them on "steady." We love how tiny the LEDs are and the solar power source was the big seller for us. 36' sounds like a lot but when wrapping or draping it gets used up faster than one might think: we bought 2 strands and could see buying more. The price is a bit high, but we have a feeling the long life will justify the price.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I installed my string along a wall using screw-eyes and tie-wraps about seven feet above the sitting area of my covered porch. The LEDs are quite bright for their size and create a soft glow that allows us to see our chairs and decking on the darkest nights here in Washington state. Besides softly lighting our porch, half of my Christmas lighting is already done... in August! Now I'm trying to figure out where I can install another string of these lights because I think they're cool, even to an old retired guy like myself (maybe outline the garage...).

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

One of the two strings ordered only worked for one day. For the price, I am not impressed with the quality of the product.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I love the length and the brightness of the lights

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

Mine worked about one week! Did not put off enough light and the lighting looked blue.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

I decided to use these as path lights, just laid the string of lights down on the ground. I kept the alternating 4 settings (steady glow, then flashing lights, then fast flashing lights, then a sequential ripple up and down the entire string of lights). Unexpected side benefit: the deer get spooked and leave my garden alone. Unexpected side liability: when your husband cuts the string in half with the weed whacker, the lights don't work anymore, and the deer come back and chow down with relish. Oh well....

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

Christmas lighting is so expensive - this makes the season bright with no bite to your wallet.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

The product is wonderful so far. Granted it is not for everyone and has yet to stand the test of time. It does, however, suit our taste and expectations.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

Solar collector installs easily with two screws (or a stake for the ground, which I didn't use) and just throw the strings of bulbs wherever (they're crisscrossed on my greenhouse). Works the first night and is a joy to see. I set it to always on, but there are other choices for blinking, slower on-off in several patterns, etc.

Comments about Solar-Powered String Lights:

i used it to light my boat ramp and it gives enough light to see on the ramp on the darkest night.
