Customer Reviews for Hampton Bay Outdoor 20 ft. 10 Socket LED Solar Edison Bulb String Light

Worked beautifully on Friday night, by Saturday night they stayed lit for 1 hour and that was all she wrote, they will not turn back on. The solar panel is in a spot that gets plenty of sunlight. Got one night of use from them. By the next night they did not light up. Aggravating because now I have to unhook them from my gazebo, had to dig the box out of the recycling bin and return them.

I bought 4 sets, used them once. I powered them off to save battery life, just tried to use them a second time, two sets work only on manual on, the other 2 sets won't come on manually or auto. They look nice, but that's it. I would not recommend. Not worth the money. Do not buy. I'm taking them back.

So far so good. Had several others returned because they didn’t light at all. Make sure you have the solar panel in good sunlight for the perfect charge each day.

I love how it is solar and turns on automatically when it gets dark outside

They are solid, easy to work with, flexible, a gapped value

The lights was easy to put up But they don’t stay lit for long

Not very good product. You don’t have a remote to turn on lights, are not smart. Literally your only option is switch behind the solar panel, which you usually put somewhere high to be able to catch more sunlight. Additionally only has 2 ways of functioning. Either detecting sunset for 6 hours, which is not much, or manually. Manually is a bight are to turn on. Very bad design. Do not recommend. Found far better options at another store

First time using solar lights and they work great! They come on right at dusk and stay on for over 6 hours. I will definitely be buying more.

These lights are fantastic. No more worrying about PGE.

The lights were brighter than I expected

Se ven brutal de bellas en mi decoración y alumbran suficiente y toda la noche

Excellent quality, made to last. Like them very much just the right amount of light need it for what I want. It is not a bright light ,is just soft mood lighting, it should be stated in the package. I wish they make longer strings to cover larger areas.

They worked for a while then started burning out. The string came with one extra bulb, which I used. Now I have 5 more bulbs burned out and cannot buy replacement bulbs anywhere. JUNK! If I could give a negative star rating I would.

They just quit working after 2 months.. before that they were great. No idea why..

We absolutely love these solar lights. They’ve helped us through many blackouts in our area since got them in September 2021. Unfortunately, they seem to have stopped working as the solar battery charge only lasts a few minutes no matter how much sunlight they received that day. We expected them to last more than a year based on people’s reviews so this is super disappointing.

I don't understand the overall positive reviews for these lights. We bought three strings, and they are close to worthless. Even after the sunniest day we never get any more than a couple of hours of light on any one of them. I was prompted to write this review just now because it's 7:15 in the evening and the lights have already gone out. And they aren't cheap.

Does not perform as advertised. Will be returning.

I can’t get the lights to hold a charge is leaving in a window in the garage allow enough sunlight to charge or since batteries manufactured 5/21 the problem?

Purchased the solar string lights to install on our playhouse instead of trenching an electric line. Box came with all parts needed. Lights were simple to install although the cord is very thick and stiff. If possible, I suggest to charge the batteries up completely before installing. I used my flashlight battery charger for the 18650 battery size. Be aware the LED bulbs have a unique special socket, not an LED bulb you can just get anywhere but they did include an extra bulb in the box. Now for the disappointment. As other reviewers have mentioned, the lights will not stay on very long. My string lights stay on an average of 2-3 hrs. The math for the 3"x7.25" solar panel at 15% efficiency is under 7 watts output for a string that the box states uses 2 watts. That being said, you would think 2 hrs of full sunlight would charge the batteries enough to light the full 6 hrs. The best case scenario stated on the box seems good but you will be disappointed every time you look and the lights have turned off.

I Purchased Hampton Bay Outdoor 20 ft. 10 Socket LED Solar Edison Bulb String Light. They receive about 8- 10 hours of DIRECT ARIZONA SUN. When they light at sundown, they last 30 to 45 minutes. A terrible product!!!! If you post to Home depot about it, no one responds.
