Do these lights need direct sunlight to work?

They charge from daylight, so a spot with several hours of sun gives the best run time. Shaded spots will glow for fewer hours after dark.

Do they turn on automatically?

Yes. A light sensor switches them on at dusk and off at dawn, so you don't need to touch them each night.

They are sold as color-changing lights that cycle through colors. Expect a shifting display rather than a fixed white beam.

They are decorative path lights, not floodlights. They mark edges and steps rather than lighting the way brightly.

The classic path-light form sits on flat surfaces or mounts to fences and deck rails. They are meant for decks, stairs, fences, yards and patios.

The pack contains 16 lights, enough to line a full staircase or a stretch of fence.
