- How long do the lights stay on after dark?
- Runtime depends on the day's sun and the charge in the built-in battery. Expect several hours on a good charge, with output dimming as the battery drains. On cloudy days the strand may run shorter.
- Do I need an outlet or app to use them?
- No. The solar panel charges the battery during the day and the lights switch on at dusk. There is no plug, wiring or app control.
- Can they stay outside in rain?
- Yes. The strand is IP65 and wet-rated, so it handles rain and damp. Keep the solar panel facing the sun and the battery box out of standing water.
- How much length do the 66 bulbs cover?
- The strand runs 46 feet with 66 LEDs spaced along it. That is enough for a fence line, pergola or a few trees, but check the distance from the panel to where you want light.
- Are they bright enough to light a patio?
- They are decorative fairy lights, not task lighting. They add color and atmosphere but won't light a path or seating area for safety.
- Can I connect more than one strand?
- Each strand runs on its own solar panel and battery. Plan on one panel per strand rather than daisy-chaining them.
