Review on 🔌 Koopower 36ft 100 LED Battery Operated String Lights with Timer - 11M Outdoor Clear String Lights (8 Modes, IP65 Waterproof) in Warm White by Robert Grind

Annoyingly short solar panel life on several previous sets of outdoor string lights, although I've swapped out rechargeable indoor batteries, I have opted for seemingly less "green" version of outdoor lighting with batteries. I initially only ordered one string of these fairy lights due to previous negative reviews. I installed 3 high quality AA batteries, set the timer for 6 hours of lighting each night and after 5 days they were still working. Ordered a second string, reinstalled good quality batteries and set the timer for the same 6 hour night run. At this point the #1 string had been running for a week (42 hours) but was as bright as the newly installed one and after 12 days it still looks as bright as the first night and as bright as the new string, both work perfectly. I bought a small charger and expect these 6 AA batteries and LEDs to last a long time and draw little power. Nice lighting at a good price. Note that while they are advertised as both indoor and outdoor units, the manufacturer's package insert emphasizes several times that they are best used indoors and that, as previous reviewers have pointed out, the control box/batteries are in one Plastic bag should be sealed if it will be exposed to moisture. It hasn't rained here yet, so I can't comment on durability in wetter weather.
