LELLEL Solar Lights (AN001006)

Totally cool. Took it on my Boundary Waters camping trip. Very light weight and lights were decently bright, with a long string too. Easy to find room in the backpack for these and no need to bring batteries. They run for a long time and give the camp a little bit of fun!

They are pretty and a LOT of bulbs on the string. Working perfectly, even in good strong rain storms!

The media could not be loaded. These lights are pretty neat. When I look out my windows at night it's like the garden gnomes are partying it up.What I've done with them is to make spheres out of chicken wire is take a 2 ft x 4 ft piece of fencing, put the 2 ft (short) ends of the 4ft length together to make a 2ft high cylinder, tuck the ends of the "tube" into itself and smoosh the wire together to form a rough sphere (also done with a 1x2 piece for 100 LED strings). I will then just start randomly wrapping the loose end of lights around the sphere (working toward the controller/battery pack end) securing them occasionally with cut-off bits of wire until I finish the string. Once it's done, hang the ball somewhere in a tree. If the tree canopy is going to shade the solar panel, I screw a couple small eye bolts (one above the other a few inches apart) into a portion of the tree trunk that will remain in the sun light (maybe unwrapping some of the string to reach). Once they're in, drop the yard spike through the eyes so it is held upright then adjust the head of the panel to face the sun. Voila - a decorative yard light sphere! You can see from the pictures that the spheres don't have to be perfect and will barely be visible even in the daylight as they're hanging to charge. You can paint the chicken wire black (or use some other fencing material that's black) to hide almost completely. These pictures were taken at night with a flash so I could make the wire obviously visible.I have used two string of 200 lights on a 3-way shepherd hook in the yard and left a few feet of wire off the sphere to wrap around the staff portion (see video). Two smaller balls on the lower hooks are wrapped with a single 200-light string while the larger sphere is a string of its own. These lights are visible even a couple hundred feet away, so I'm sure the neighbors who have spotted them may wonder what they are since you can't see anything hanging there in the daylight.More creative uses for them are on the way since I now have several strings of them.I have found an irritating problem with these though. If the battery depletes due to lack of charging on an overcast day and the battery fully runs down, you have to hit the on/off switch in order to kick them back into life. Other than that, when it charges during the day and gets dark enough (about 15 lux in the middle of the panel, I've found) they spring into life and start cycling through their patterns with the party going through most of the night (I've been up at 4-5 AM and they're still lighting, but dim from battery exhaustion at that point).

I purchased 6 sets back in March 2017 and three sets no longer work now in December. I spent a lot of time using three sets to wrap around the trunk and branches of a redbud tree in the back yard and -yes- it looked wonderful when the lights lit up but now all that work and effort is wasted- it certainly wasn't worth it considering how short lived the lights were.Of the other three sets, two work consistently well and the third one only functions intermittently even though they're all located in the same area and get equal amounts of sunlight to charge up with.

Barely usable. These lights are super dim. Can't really see that there's anything on the house from 300 feet away. An order of magnitude dimmer than traditional Christmas lights. One of the units that has the solar cell in the most inaccessible spot on a roof section likes to go out and not turn on some nights. Need to turn it on and off to get it to turn on again. I think I'll be going back to traditional lights.

As I've said about my other string lights. Make sure to buy the 2nd generation lights. They have better solar panels on them creating a better charge on the battery. Even on cloudy days they charge the battery enough for the lights to work all night. The older versions I have don't last all night even on a sunny day of charge. I have been adding better solar panels to my older versions then they always last all night. These are very nice lights and the big plus is they last all night.

Love these lights. Solar, what took so long for me to find these! Always wanted to light up my mailbox but did not want to run an extention cord. This is just the right set of lights I needed, no outlet needed. It has several different settings from steady on to flashing and fading. The lights are bright and colorful. What a great find, bought 2 more sets.

These lights work well so far, plenty bright and last most of the night, mort of the reviews said they sucked but I bought them anyway.
