- How long do the lights stay on after a full charge?
- Run time depends on the charge the panel collects and the brightness setting. Expect several hours on a sunny day and noticeably less after a cloudy one. The battery is the limiting factor, not the LEDs.
- Do I need an outlet or wiring?
- No. The panel charges a battery during the day and the strand runs from that battery at night. You only need a spot where the panel gets direct sun.
- Can these stay outside in rain?
- They are built as waterproof outdoor lights, so rain and damp are fine. Keep the solar panel angled toward the sun and the battery housing clear of standing water.
- Are the bulbs glass?
- No, they are plastic S14 bulbs in the Edison style. That makes them lighter and less likely to shatter than glass bulbs.
- How bright are they compared with plug-in string lights?
- Dimmer. They are decorative warm-glow lights for ambiance, not task lighting, so don't expect the output of a corded strand.
- Can I replace a bulb if one fails?
- The strand uses standard screw-base S14 LED bulbs, so a failed bulb can be swapped for a matching one. Check that the replacement is rated for outdoor use.
