LELLEL Solar Lights (AN001006)

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  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 ordered 2 sets of the blue/ green. We have a wooden fence and a pair of medium size bushes that separate our yard from the alley. Our neighborhood has cute houses pretty close to each other. We wrapped the fence in soft white lights and the bushes in the blue/green. It looked so nice. Unfortunately one set lasted less than 2 weeks. For no reason they just stopped working. Is it worth trying to get it replaced? I hate the hassle. Very dissapointed.

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.

The lights are a perfect look for a bush I have in my yard, they stay well light during the night provided that you make sure the solar plate is definitely getting the sun during the day for recharging.

Lights only held charge for 30seconds after leaving in direct light. Have attempted to contact seller two times with no response. Just attempted a third time today.

They aren't as bright as I'd like them, but I got them for our camper awning and we have to double the strand because it is so long and the mode works great to change how they blink or don't blink. Yes, I would buy more.

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!

I have bought several of these type of lights in the past and they never stay on all night. This one stays on ALL NIGHTEven on cloudy days when it doesn't get hours of charging, it still stays lit all night
