One bulb out from first week

So I bought this and I was super excited. Hung them across my porch and one bulb kept fluttering. Eventually within the week the bulb stop giving any light at all. So I put in the extra bulb that’s sent with it. It worked as soon as I screwed it in but went out as soon as a gust of wind came. If I touch it the light flutters so I believe it’s not the bulbs it’s the….”unit bulb?” Itself. No idea what it’s actually called honestly. I would like to buy another set but its irritating seeing one…

Nice solution best in my review

I like these. I broke the wire and put in a (remote operated) power switch so I can control when they come on.The solar panel houses the batteries (3v) and has a rubber coated push switch to turn them on. You can set up different modes, low and high make sense, but flashing does not, by repeatedly pressing the switch. They only operate at night. I figured all this complexity might mess up me adding an inline switch located more conveniently. But it didn’t. They just work the first time I tried…

Pros
  • ‎Christmas
Cons
  • Lightbulbs may be fragile

Pleasantly surprised at how good these lights are

While the lights are not cheap, I was not really expecting to be as happy with them as I am. I had a camping trip planned and wanted a little light other than a bright propane lantern.I charged the panel in direct sunlight for a few hours and figured they would maybe last an hour or so. I got my campsite all set up with my tent and awning and hung up the lights. I connected the power panel and hoped I would have enough light to see for a little bit while making dinner and eating. Well, the…

Pros
  • Very bright lights. Makes our deck look beautiful at night
Cons
  • Inadequate wiring insulation

bright, long-lasting, durable, cute

set these up two days ago and I love them! I've bought other solar-powered lights in the past and these feel way more durable and high-quality, and are much brighter. the solar panel is much bigger than I expected but I can see why—it definitely does the job!DAY 1: I set them up around 4pm, on a bright sunny day. lights turned on at 8 (late dusk, so that gives you a sense also of how long they got to charge for), and stayed on until 3am (at the lower brightness setting). the first picture in my

Pros
  • FULL SATISFACTION
Cons
  • Light may be too harsh

Too early to tell: my feedback

I've only had these 2 days but so far so good. First night it rained. The solar panel is exposed to the rain but everything worked great. I will do a follow up in about 20 days.2 week update:After 2 weeks and a ton of rain my lights are holding up fine. I mounted my solar panels one on the deck rail and the other one mounted on the side of the gazebo roof. Every night like clock work they come on. Still happy I bought these and my wife is really enjoying the night life in her new space.

Pros
  • Soft Amber Light
Cons
  • Many precautions need to be taken when installing

Beat Solar Lights for my opinion

These are the best solar lights I’ve ever purchased. They stay lit for 10+ hours. I am a camper and I’ve wasted a lot of money on solar lights. These are worth every penny.

Pros
  • Buena calidad y fácil instalación
Cons
  • Connection between bulbs may be weak

Tighten your bulbs on my review.

I was so excited about these lights! So I followed all the directions and neither of the 2 sets I purchased worked. I went back to the ebay site and happened to read a review that mentioned they had to tighten the light bulbs. That did the trick for both! I love the way they look. I wish there was a longer cord from the solar panel to the first light. There is supposed to be an extension cord but the company says it’s "unavailable” and they don’t know when it will become available?

Pros
  • ‎Yes
Cons
  • Difficult to install

Super bright on my review.

They last nearly all night I believe! Light up a good part of the yard, have them around the garden makes it look beautiful!

Pros
  • ‎LED
Cons
  • May suffer from connectivity issues

Surpasses my Expectations

I have had these since October of 2020. Have had zero problems.One bulb acts like it wants to go out. Had extra in my initial package - not sure what I did with it!Been looking for days for it!I am wanting to buy some replacement bulbs - soft amber - can't seem to find them anywhere.Other than that I can't say enough good things about them! Perfect brightness and has really held up well.

Pros
  • Outdoor Lighting
Cons
  • Not enough coverage

Works great-But not for long

The first set was great, but stopped working after about a year. I wasn’t thrilled, but I liked them and ordered a replacement set. The replacement set worked great for a week and then nothing. I would not recommend this set. With all of the options try another brand.

Pros
  • ‎3.7 Volts (DC)
Cons
  • Weak lighting may not be ideal for larger spaces

Love them. - my new review

We love these lights. We just put in a seated area away from the house in our backyard and it’s such a pain running an extension cord so we purchased this. Love it! The lights are perfect for a nice peaceful sitting area out back. No worries about dealing with cords. It charges all day and the lights are bright but have multiple settings to adjust. We live in Oregon so it’s rainy mostly cloudy but these have been stellar.There was no remote control included. And the button to turn it off and on

Pros
  • SOLAR POWER
Cons
  • Placement may be limited based on the length of the cord

Stopped working!: my feedback

I’ve had these lights for just over a year and yesterday they stopped working entirely! The past month or so I had noticed that they were only staying on for three-ish hours but now nothing at all. Super disappointing considering I live in Southern California where there’s ALWAYS SUN.

Pros
  • ‎Remote Control
Cons
  • Light sensitivity inconsistency

look like market lights, a bit dim, only last 3-4 hrs

Good for market fair canopy - long enough to go around or share with neighboring tables don't usually need light for more than 3-4 hours. After fair installed on front porch: Pros: Look like electric market lights & solar panel still working after six weeks. Cons: pretty dim & lights out by 9-10pm (getting dark around 6)

Pros
  • These string lights add a cozy and inviting ambiance to your outdoor space, making them perfect for hosting outdoor gatherings, parties, weddings, and other special occasions
Cons
  • Tends to heat up quickly

Great Value!: my feedback

Easy set up, lights look great around the fire pit. Had an issue originally but company took care of it quickly and were very accommodating. So far loving the lights, were exactly what I was looking for.

Pros
  • ‎Outdoor
Cons
  • May not work with all types of outlets

Nice quality, two sets would've been brighter

The lights are definitely great quality, sturdy and easy to hang. I bought them to light up our back patio at night. The lights are not as bright as I was imagining although I do have them strung up against the wall of the house rather than free hanging across the patio which would probably increase visibility out there a bit more. Wish I bought another set. Still not bright enough to BBQ or play with the dog safely. I do live deep in the woods though so it is extra dark in our yard.

Pros
  • ‎Rubber
Cons
  • Possible risk of fire

If you getting a working set- they are amazing

I ordered 2 sets to test these out, and they were perfect, so I ordered 2 more. Unfortunately neither of the new sets worked after a full day of charging. It seemed that they had bad solar panels. I tested them with the working units just to make sure. I got them replaced, and sadly the next sets didn't work either, so I gave them one more try. The final two sets I ordered, they worked. I have only had them about a month - so I look forward to seeing what the longevity of the product is. The…

Pros
  • With a quick and easy installation process, you can have these lights set up and running in no time, without the need for complicated wiring or complex installation procedures
Cons
  • May not be energy efficient for larger outdoor spaces

good theoretically and great support from sunapex

It's been only a weekI received the string, and it took over an hour to untangle the mess of string to install it, so that's why it's rated on the "install" part as a 2. Once untangled, it was fairly easy. Still a couple of hours to accomplish. Maybe mine was previously purchased by someone else, and they returned it!?!?!In the "brightness" category. They are - theoretically - nice and bright, and even that is adjustable to various intensities or flashing, which is nice. I rated it a 3 because…

Pros
  • With a length of 96FT, these lights are designed to cover a large outdoor area, providing ample warm and cozy illumination for your backyard, patio, porch, or even a cafe space
Cons
  • Potential safety hazard if not correctly installed
