Does it need an outlet?

No. It runs on batteries charged by a small solar panel, so you can hang it where no cord reaches. The panel needs a few hours of direct sun to keep up.

How does the timer work?

The lights stay on for 6 hours, then shut off for 18 and repeat on their own. Set it once at dusk and it keeps the same schedule each night.

Is 2 feet big enough for a front door?

It works on a standard door, but it reads as a smaller accent rather than a full statement wreath. On a wide door or garage, a larger wreath fills the space better.

Are the lights bright enough to see from the street?

They give a soft warm glow that reads well up close on a porch or window. With 50 LEDs on a 2-foot ring, don't expect the brightness of a plug-in wreath with several hundred lights.

Can it stay outside all winter?

It is built for outdoor display, but heavy rain, snow and direct sun shorten the life of the faux pine and the solar panel. A covered porch or door under an overhang is the safer spot.

What comes in the box?

The wreath, the attached string of 50 warm white LEDs, the solar panel with its stake or mount, and the battery holder. Batteries are usually not included, so check before hanging.
