Review on ๐ŸŒž Enhanced 2-Pack 200 LED Solar Fairy Lights: Super Bright Outdoor String Lights for Garden Patio Decorations (Warm White) by Katherine Peterson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Nothing as advertised.

Advertised with high capacity batteries and wraps around the board to avoid tangling. Neither was true. Very difficult to install as every 30 feet of glow wire gets tangled and twisted easily during installation. Just came wrapped in a loop, lying in a box. The wire also breaks easily, rendering all lamps useless once broken. The wire is a solid copper conductor with a thin transparent insulating material over it. Heating a broken wire with a lighter or soldering iron to melt the insulator makes repairing broken sections as easy as simply twisting the two ends together. Again, broken wires and kinks could have been avoided by either routing the entire 30-foot line or carefully wrapping it around the handle of a hammer or similar object. This also does not apply to the advertised high-capacity battery. Where solar panels are installed, they receive full sun for 6-8 hours a day. The lights will turn on automatically after dark and begin to dim within 2 hours, then flash and then turn off completely. The attached pictures show the grid stretched on all 4 sides with this lighting system only 2.5 hours after dark, after a sunny summer day. The video shows the effect of strobing when the battery is low. The lighting on the left side of the grille has already been switched off due to a dead battery. I have already spent too much time installing and fixing this item to remove and return it and love the lighting style and the effect when they work. My plan is to upgrade either the solar panel or the batteries so the lights stay on longer.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Annoying
