Unlike many similarly priced rivals, this set of LED garden lights seems built to last and hopefully will not need to be replaced every year. The set also features both a larger sized solar array than usually found as well as a more powerful and capacious battery.
Being presented in a plain brown box does not help this otherwise above average product. Attractive presentation would allow surely help sales of this otherwise excellent set of lights and even allow the budget Amazon price of £12.99 to be increased somewhat. Anyway, inside the box are the set of 50 LED globe lights, garden spike mount set, wall mount screw set, infrared remote control. No instruction or other items are included or needed.
One of the selling points of this item is the larger than normal 14 x 10cm solar panel. The larger size in turn allows a above average sized 1200mAh battery to be fitted which when fully charged should be enough to allow the device to run the whole night, winter as well as summer - although the I would recommend, as with all solar power units, that this be brought indoors for winter storage with perhaps a brief outing at Christmas. True, the lighting set is IP65 water resistant, enough to keep it protected from everything short of water immersion, but you can never be too careful. The solar charger/battery box can be either mounted in the ground using the supplied ground spike or to a wall or other surface using the screw set included. The 50 LED set extends to 16.4ft with an additional 6.5ft of cable between the box and the first LED, after which the LED's are spaced 3.9in apart.
Controlling the item is easy enough. On the rear are two large and easy to identify proper clicky buttons, on to turn On/Off the other to scroll through the eight lighting modes available. The available modes are: Steady on, combination, fireflies flashing, waving, fading, chasing/flashing, slowly fading, twinkling/flashing. To allow the set to be position in a hard to access location a credit card sized remote control has been included with dedicated keys for all the principal features of the light set.
Once in position, the warm white lighting set does look good, aided perhaps by the large size of the glass effect lighting globes. When in the On mode the lights will come on at dusk and go off again at dawn or when the battery runs out. Certainly, when correctly positioned they can add some real style to your garden or patio. If you need a set of decent quality robust garden string lights then this would be a very good buy.
