Description
These solar string lights are a fine run of integrated LEDs set along slim clear wire, 500cm long, fed by a compact black solar panel that sits on top of a narrow black stake. The panel housing is black plastic, so the working part stays low-key while the clear wire all but disappears among leaves and stems. Because the LEDs are built into the string, there are no bulbs to fit or replace, and the whole set weighs just 0.1KG. No IP rating is given for this set, so we suggest dry spots only and keep it well away from water.
With 500cm of wire, the string has room to wind through the leaves of a pot plant, trail over the edge of a shelf or ledge, or follow the line of a sill. The stake pushes into the soil of a pot, holding the panel upright beside the plant while the lights weave among the foliage. Because it runs from its own panel rather than a plug, it needs no socket nearby and leaves no trailing lead to hide. The panel charges from daylight and does best in an open, sunny spot, so a bright windowsill suits it well. It is a lovely choice for anyone who wants a gentle sparkle among their houseplants.
The set takes one AA NiMH battery rated at 600mAh and works at 1.2V, and an on/off switch lets you choose when the string glows and when it rests. The black body is plastic, which keeps the whole set light in the hand. The installation instructions come as a download, so it is worth a quick read before the first use, and switching the string off whenever it is put away keeps everything ready for next time.

They suit dry spots such as a sunny windowsill, a shelf or a pot plant. No IP rating is given, so we keep them well away from water.
How long is the string?
