We have a very large yard so it can be difficult to decorate for the holidays because I do not have access to electricity in many areas. I like using these solar powered string lights because I can literally use them anywhere. This light string has a solar panel which stores energy from the sun to power the lights at night. The solar panel is 2 1/4 inches wide, 2 1/4 inches long and 1 inch thick. It comes with an 8 1/2 inch adjustable ground stake. The head of the stake can swivel 180 degrees to get the perfect angle for the best exposure to the sun. The panel has two buttons on the back which function to turn the light string on or off and set the lights to steady on or flashing modes. The solar panel needs 6-8 hours of direct sunlight for a full charge which allows the lights to operate for 8-10 hours in steady mode or 10-12 hours in flashing mode.
This light string is waterproof and weather resistant so it can be used indoors or outdoors. If using indoors, be sure to place the solar panel in a sunny window so that it can fully charge to operate. The light string is 19.7 feet long with 30 LED lights. Each LED light alternates a different color (red, blue, green and yellow) and have a little plastic ghost globes with a cute smiling face. The ghosts are 2 inches tall and 1 inch wide. The ghosts are about 6 inches apart and there is about 5 feet of distance between the solar panel and the first globe which is perfect if you want to hide the panel out of sight from the light string.
I like that I can decorate with lights without needing batteries or electricity. These fun little ghosts are adorable and great for Halloween decorating. The lights work well and provide some cool color to darker areas of my yard.
