Review on LightMe: Portable Outdoor Lighting Solution with Power Source by Anna Alcala

Revainrating 4 out of 5

USB powered solar bulb

I purchased these solar powered bulbs to make outdoor pendant lights from a cut metal candlestick. I don't need a candle where it hangs, and I don't need a battery operated candle. What I really like about the light: There is a micro USB connector that plugs into the base of the light and a power button. I was able to insert a micro USB plug into one of the holes on the globe and the lightbulb was able to stay on with no problem. The length of the cable was more than enough for me to run a hidden cable in a place where I can install the solar panel out of sight. What I don't like: The bulb looks like a "cold" light (blue-white). And a solar panel isn't really made as professionally as a lightbulb. It's pretty weird having a solar panel on a small piece of plastic. I will most likely attach it to the outer deck wall with L-shaped hooks.
