Minetom Solar Outdoor Lights - 38Ft 15 LED Waterproof Solar String Lights with USB Port and Cable Ties, Commercial Shatterproof G40 LED Bulbs, Hanging Patio Light for Backyard Porch Bistro Decor

I was worried when I ordered these because the lights I've purchased in the past would either only hold a charge for about 2 hours or they were extremely dim. These have exceeded all expections though. They provide plenty of illumination for our patio area. Now we can entertain and I can craft outdoors well into the evening as well. Upon receiving the lights I noticed each lightbulb has a clip for easy hanging. I also really appreciate that you can charge the solar panel with a USB cable. Aside from the time when we unpacked the lights, we have not had a need for it though. The solar panel holds a charge really well and we are in a shady area blocked by trees so we don't get a lot of sunlight to begin with. The lights usually go on at sundown (currently around 7pm) and stay on long after we have gone to bed (12-1am). We have not witnessed them dim at all before we go to sleep so I'm not sure if the charge holds all night. I didn't realize until after I hung up the lights that one of the bulbs did not work. It took me about 20 minutes to hang the fixture so I was really reluctant to undo the whole thing to ship it back just because of one bulb. I reached out to customer service instead. The response time was prompt and they asked me to make sure it was an issue with the bulb and not the wiring (hadn't even occured to me that that was a potential issue since I really liked the way the lights worked). Upon testing to isolate the issue, it turned out it was actually the bulb. Customer service was honest and very responsive. They said it may take a few weeks but they would send me out replacement bulbs. This was fine since one lightbulb doesn't effect the functionality of the entire string of lights. The bulbs did take a few weeks but they came in and the lights work splendidly. We are so excited about them especially with the weather warming up. We have spent just about every evening outside relaxing thanks to being able to see. I highly recommend them and I'm actually going to order more as a gift soon.

Been using these lights around our patio for about a year now and these are fantastic! The solar panel has a charge indicator light on the back of the panel and is remote controlled. The solar panel/power module is removable to take inside and connect to a wall charger on shorter days of winter. In the summer it holds enough charge to power the lights all night. I really like the clip that attaches to the solar panel module, I clamped it to the frame of the patio cover, and it holds the solar panel/power module securely. The set also comes with ties and the lights have clips to give you choices in mounting or hanging. They are a soft white bulb, while not super bright they put out adequate light and give the patio a festive fun atmosphere. This is a really nice light set, I bought 2 of them and have had no issue whatsoever, it's a great value for the money.

The 208 foot string works really well. Having 2 extra bulbs is nice but a handful would have been better with a string this long. Don't bother using the added ty wraps. They snap %66 of the time.

I bought these Minetom Solar Outdoor Lights for $29 to use on my outdoor quail hut, and they’ve worked great so far. Setup was extremely easy—plug and play—with multiple options to hang or clip them in place. I used the included clip, which worked perfectly. The light is a warm glow—not too bright—which is perfect for creating a calm atmosphere without disturbing my birds. I like that the bulbs are plastic and shatterproof, especially since they’re used in an outdoor setting. The auto-on feature is handy, but with some quirks: It only turns on after it’s completely dark, not at dusk. It won’t auto-turn on if I manually turned it off the night before. There’s no timer, so I turn it off after about 4 hours to avoid disrupting the birds. The solar charging has worked well so far, and I gave it a manual USB charge the first night to get started. Just note the USB cord is short, so you’ll need to keep that in mind if charging indoors. I've only had them a week, so I can’t speak to long-term durability yet, but so far, they’re exactly what I needed: simple, attractive, and bird-friendly.

I came back almost 4 years later to write a review on these lights. Still working. They provide great ambiance .. not too dull but not too bright. 10/10 would buy again. I do bring them in during the winter (Michigan).

We’ve had these up for almost a whole year and they have worked nonstop no matter the Midwest weather. I see they are on sale again - I need to find another spot for a set.

All around great purchase - came with so many convenient options for example, the clip VS the stake as I have nowhere to use the stake on my balcony. I opted for solar panel lights since I have nowhere to plug mine in and I love that these come with a plug-in option in case your balcony doesn’t get enough sunlight. The zip ties and hooks on the back of the lights are also super convenient. The original lights I had didn’t offer enough support outside and these were perfect.

These solar lights work great, are nice and bright. They light up even after a couple of cloudy days. Four stars because they start blinking on and off at 8:45 each evening. Only lasts a couple minutes, then they go back to steady mode. Not sure why that happens every night -- they were set up during the day and come on around 7:00 so doesn't make sense to me, but not a big deal. Otherwise they're great!

These lights look great over my patio. The solar panel quit working after 6 months. The seller, eLightBulb sent me a new one. I’m very pleased with the product and the seller.

These are easy to install, the bulbs are super cute and emit a great amount of light. They’re also plastic so much safer. I like the little clips on the lights too it makes them easier to install. The only thing I wish it had was a more accessible controller, because it’s hard to reach the solar panel since we had to put it out where the sun would reach it. Would still Highly recommend!

These lights by far offer the best options in terms of charging up and length of lights provided (29ft). I bought two sets of these; One set worked after 4 hours of USB charge as per instructions, the other set worked after a whole 12 hours of USB charge which is not according to the instructions. And the next day they were difficult to get working once the night arrived but eventually I got them to work after plugging back into USB charge for a little while. I am slightly concerned for the longevity of that particular set of lights as it took longer to work. The other set though, no problems whatsoever! The reason for dropping a star. Compared to all other options in the stores, I found this product to offer the best quality and options.

These are great lights have them on my deck , gives off enough light !

Bought 2 sets back in May. Installed them under my deck roof. They initially worked well. About a month ago one of them dims to About 1/4 brightness about 2 hours after they come on at full power. The other set work well for the correct time. The solar panels are in the same spot. Not overly impressed Update. Both sets now light up for 30mins then start dimly flashing until they turn off..
