Solar 10-Light 150 in. Integrated LED String Light with Lone Star Shade

Bought two sets of these to hang on a pergola over a dining table on my deck. The shades are a nice size: approximately 2 inches high and about 2 inches square at the bottom; the sides are tapered slightly. The lights are a nice warm white and are fairly bright. Given that I have hung them above eye level, they can be a little too bright when you look at them; they would be nicer if they had an opaque lining to filter the light so you don't look straight at the bulbs. The shades are metal; we will see how they hold up over time. I expect them to rust but we will see. The distance between each light on the string is about 8 inches; overall length from the first shade to the last shade is about 6 feet. One set fits fairly well across my pergola. We used our own tie wraps to secure the lights to the pergola. We mounted the solar panels at the top of the pergola, so we didn't need all the extra length of wire between the solar panel and the first shade. Because of how we wanted to mount them, we had to modify the solar panel housing slightly to get it to work for us. The price for each string was a little steep, in my opinion. I would have to buy two more sets to cover the same number of ceiling joists on the pergola as the previous two sets of 20 lights that I had up. I don't think I will spring for that now, but the two strings look nice during the day and at night when they are lit.

The Hampton Bay Solar 10-light integrated LED string light with Lone Star shade provides ambient light for an outdoor setting. It's easy to assemble and install - just make sure to remove the battery saver tab and turn the switch "on" to allow the light to come on at dusk. The only setting for the lights is either on or off; the lights come on at dusk and last approximately 3 hours before dimming and eventually turning off. The only drawback to these lights is that the cord that extends from the solar panel to the lighted string is really short - too much short for the lights to hung up across the patio.

I really liked the Solar 10-Light 150 in. Integrated LED String Light with Lone Star Shade, as the design is unique looking. The overall look of the solar string lights is of a bell with star in it , so it will fit a variety of different uses. The light is rated higher then your typical string lights, in addition the solar panel is twice as big. It does seem brighter and lasts longer. There is no mention of what the string lights metal part are made of so I do worry about outdoor use long term.

Look Great! Very Bright and they last a long time on a daily charge. The length of actual lights is only 6 feet (not 10 as the product description lead me to believe). The total length of the cord from end to end is 13 feet. The solar cell comes with a ground stake and riser and includes an on/off button so you can preserve the batteries when not using. It comes with two AA size, 1.2V Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries. The recommended replacement battery capacity should be 600~900mAh.

Using this item to add something extra to my outdoor living space for the family. Simple-to-install solar string lights. Ideal for decks and patios, pergolas, and railings.My installation was over a swinging bench. Includes a convenient ON/OFF switch or, alternatively, you can just leave them ON and the built in photocell will turn them on automatically at dusk and shut them off 8 hours later. Manufacturer states; Remote solar panel provides for placement for maximum sunlight exposure Distressed black finish Polymeric construction LED provides energy efficiency Automatically turns on at dusk String contains 10 LED ornaments 2-years limited warranty

These Lone Star Shade LED lights are a nice touch as accent lighting and a conversation starter. There are 10 LEDs on a string measuring 75 inches from first light to the last light. The power supply cord is 84 inches from the solar panel to the first light – see picture. The light output of the LED is adequate to light-up the Texas star shade but don’t expect it to light up any of the surrounding area. The shade itself is roughly 1 and 11/16 inches wide by 1 and 3/4 inches tall and is made of sheet metal. The solar panel charges a AA rechargeable battery which is replaceable. It automatically turns on at dusk and off at dawn - it stayed lit all night on a single charge for me. A ground stake is included to place the solar panel in the ground. Recommended as decorative lighting.

Thought the lights would be bigger —but they are cute.

Great little lights for a back patio but I had to buy 2 only 10 feet come in box.
