This set of garden lights comes with a large solar panel, which is a little bigger than an A4 sheet of paper (twice as big as most others we tested).
These solar powered fairy lights really are simple to use and you’ll find everything you need in the box. They also work in low light conditions over winter. They don't stay on as long as the PowerBee lights, but on most nights, even in winter when it gets dark early, they last for at least eight hours. During the day, the battery is charged and then at night the lights automatically come on and stay lit for up to seven hours. If you prefer to choose when the lights come on, there is a handy on/off switch, giving you manual control. More and more people are choosing to light up their gardens using solar power because it is so simple and cost-effective. The lights are powered using the sun’s energy so you don’t need to plug them in and there are no electricity costs to worry about. With two functions to select from, you can choose to have a flashing light display or keep the lights constantly on for a subtler but equally attractive effect.
PowerBee says this larger solar panel means the lights should stay on for longer, and that they'll work over winter, which not many solar lights claim. We've found this to be spot on. These lights have been shining brightly around a tree in our test garden for three years now; they're often still shining brightly in the early hours of the morning (6am), even in the depths of winter. Need to know 200 lights, 20m long (2m to the first light, then 20m), claimed battery life of 8-12 hours in the summer and 3-10 hours in the winter, eight light settings, white light.
They've also survived every other durability test we've thrown at them, including sharp tugs of the wires, a deep freeze at -16°C, repeated soakings and lots of bashing against a fence post. Need to know 300 lights, 30m long (2m to the first light, then 28m with bulbs evenly spaced), USB-chargeable as well as solar, eight light settings, warm white light. Need to know 20 lights, 14.4m long (1.9m to the first light, then 14.4m, with bulbs spaced at 80cm), USB chargeable as well as charging from the sun, claimed battery life of 12 nights from a full USB charge, eight light settings, warm white light. Our new age of solar fairy lights include USB charging capability to accelerate the set up process or to enable you to use your solar fairy lights indoors. You also have the option to charge the lights with a USB charger, if you want to top them up during the darker months.So easy to use, you can drape or hang these solar powered outdoor lights anywhere in your garden, patio or terrace. They look wonderful suspended from tree branches or can be used to decorate large plants or pots. Alternatively hang around a fence, doorway or balcony to create a wonderful feature. Wherever you choose to position them, the warm glow will add a special ambiance to transform your outdoor space into something special. Simply use the stake provided to position the solar panel wherever you would like and turn the switch to the on position. You can also select whether you prefer the flashing sequence of the constant effect. Then drape or hang your fairy lights to create your own unique display.
Cloudy day? Don’t worry! All SPV lights are designed to work even on an overcast day, making them perfect for the UK climate. They are expensive, but you do get 30m of cable; the solar charger is also good enough to keep the lights on throughout winter. These lights were often still shining at midnight, even in January. Cable measures 22 metres in length - cable length of 2.2 metres between solar panel and first LED bulb We added these fairy lights to our test in 2022 and they survived one of the coldest winters in recent years in our test garden. Subsequently, they've also survived three years attached to a garden fence, in all weathers. After all of this, the lights still work and there are no visible signs of damage.
