- How long do they stay lit after dark?
- Run time depends on charge. On a full sunny day expect several hours of light; in shade or overcast weather it will be shorter. Place the panel where it gets direct sun most of the day.
- Are they bright enough to light a patio?
- No. The small globes give a soft decorative glow, not working light. Use them for ambiance alongside a porch or flood light.
- Can they stay outside in rain?
- Yes. The IP65 rating means they handle rain and splashes. Keep the solar panel and battery housing upright and clear of standing water.
- Do they need direct sunlight to work?
- They need light to charge, and direct sun charges fastest. In heavy shade they may glow only briefly or not at all.
- How are they mounted?
- The string hangs from hooks, ties or clips along a fence, railing or branch, and the panel mounts separately facing the sun. No tools beyond that are required.
