- Do these lights need an outlet?
- No. A small solar panel charges the built-in battery, so the string runs without wiring. The panel needs direct sun for a full charge.
- Can I replace the bulbs?
- Yes. The 12 G40 bulbs sit in standard E26 sockets and are rated at 1 watt each. Standard low-wattage LED or incandescent E26 bulbs fit.
- How long do they stay lit at night?
- Run time depends on how much sun the panel gets. In full sun owners report several hours of light; in shade it drops to a short evening glow.
- Where can I mount them?
- The non-hanging globes are designed to sit flat against fences, railings, walls and pergolas. They are not meant to drape like hanging café strings.
- Are they bright enough to light a patio?
- They give a warm ambient glow, not task lighting. For reading or cooking outdoors, pair them with a brighter plug-in fixture.
- What is in the box?
- One 12-bulb string with the solar panel, stake or mount, and battery. Check the listing for the cord color you want, black or white.
