- Do these need an outlet?
- No. A solar panel charges the built-in battery, so there is no plug or wiring. The panel needs several hours of direct sun to light the string in the evening.
- Can they stay outside in rain?
- Yes. They are rated IP65, which covers rain and splashing. Keep the solar panel angled toward the sun and clear of standing water.
- How long do they stay lit at night?
- That depends on how much sun the panel gets. After a full sunny day they run for several hours; in shade or on cloudy days expect much less.
- Are the lights multicolor only?
- Yes, this version uses multicolor LEDs. Shoppers wanting warm white should check other Afoxsos solar string sets.
- Where should I mount the solar panel?
- On a sunny spot such as a fence top or railing with no tree or wall shadow, connected by the lead wire to the vine. Shaded spots will shorten run time.
- Where is the Afoxsos Solar Ivy String Lights 33FT With 100 LED Fairy Lights cheapest?
