It's a great concept: a string of attractive decorative string LED lights that are powered by the sun and will enhance your garden our outdoor space.

Just one problem: the rain gets inside the battery/electronics housing and it's "poof!" after just a few wet weather days.

My unit arrived with a bad battery (it would not hold a charge). So I replaced it with a new brand-name NiMH battery and the lights shone for several nights (turning itself off at dawn thanks to the integrated photoelectric switch) . And then it rained. And that was that. It would not come on despite several sunny days. Upon opening the black plastic housing to investigate I noted moisture everywhere: on the wires, the circuit board, the switch contacts, the battery contacts everything. No wonder that it died.

The problem is that the compartment is not weather sealed. The two halves of this plastic box simply press together, hard plastic edge against hard plastic edge. but no rubber gasket or anything of the sort. The eight retaining metal screws are tight, but that's not enough. No way would this ever keep moisture out.

Folks, that's what you get when you only pay a little a poorly designed and implemented product that isn't meant to last. I would gladly pay twice as much for a unit that works as it is designed to work. As is, this solar light string should not be used outside. And what kind of a solar light is that?

You have been warned...

If you are expecting a light source from these, you will not get it. They are decoration only, and lighting is the same bulbs used for Christmas trees. As far as decoration, this product is very good, especially compared to similar products.

It is quit long, has numerous lanterns, as is a great illuminated decoration.

Honest reviews on Set of 30 Oriental Mini Round Solar Nylon String Lights - High

I was looking for a string of lights that provide a little bit of light and these do not. They gave enough light that you can see the balls but that is about it. Using the words "bright white" is very misleading. They are cute in both the day and night but don't have any value beyond that. Too bad.

Very dim and blueish. The lights look better when turned off. When on, they are barely lighting up after 2 weeks in the sun of Mexico, but even new were very dimclearly they were never expected to be for light but for decor, but even that is a disappointment. I would return them if it wasn't because it was a pain to put them out in the gazebo.
