Ankway Solar String Lights (8 Modes 39 ft 100 LED), Ankway Solar Fairy Lights with Bendable 12 Meters Lasting Durabble Copper Wire, IP65 Waterproof Light Sensor for Home, Garden, Patio, Fence, Window, Yard, Party, Wedding (Warm White)

A quick review to give you an understanding of this product, I will try to update it after a few months to show how the LED lights have fared over an extended period. I purchased these to go in my garden to add a bit of night time sparkle, as my garden is totally pitch black otherwise. Hence, I am trying to add a few different lights and ordainments to sit and enjoy.The lights come in a small cardboard container with bubble wrap around the actual little solar panel. The unit is easy to assemble with the plastic mount sliding on to the back of the panel. Followed by the leg extension fitting to the pole which is dully spiked. This I assume is so you can push it into soil contained within a flower bed/pot.I've not tested the waterproofing of these lights as I have only just received them or yet to properly install them in to my garden. I have however included a few photos of them working on my desk and the contents of the box. I especially want to know what I am getting before ordering, so I try to include as many images as possible to help others.They are not overly bright but this is not what I wanted for my garden, I wanted subtle and pretty lighting as opposed to bright white spotlights. I consider the price to be reasonable and similar to the price of fairy-lights on sale in Tesco or other high street retailers. I paid £11.99 for the 100 LED version during December 2019. I have included the price/date so you can gauge if the item has shot up in price. Additionally, Amazon delivered in good time and as expected with Prime.Whilst the item has up to 8 different lighting modes, I will only be utilising steady on for the time being. The mode is changed by buttons on the back of the solar panel, once the unit is on and in position it should operate on its own. One possible improvement I could see myself making use of would be a remote control or Bluetooth app. Having the ability to remotely change the mode or to turn the lights off at night after I have finished sitting out enjoying them would be advantageous.Overall reasonably priced LED lights that I probably would purchase again providing they hold up against the test of time and elements.Update: End Dec 2019.I have added two additional images showing the lights set up in my small garden, one day time and one night time with LEDs on. Remember winter sunlight, hence, low power and intensity.

I have actually ordered another set as I loved the first set so much!Unfortunately, all of the local cats seem to be obsessed with our garden and broke all our solar lights when climbing the fences. So I picked these solar lights to replace them as I thought since it was metal wire rather than a plastic coated wire it might be a bit easier to wrap round things and a bit sturdier against cats.So far, they’ve managed to withstand all of the feline visitors, and they work great! They shine brightly all night long, as long as they have a nice sunny day to charge them up. They look really pretty and are so convenient to wrap round fence posts or hooks outdoors.My only criticism would be - they look a little bit festive rather than being outdoor garden lights, but they are super pretty! We will probably be ordering more again soon, as after putting up the second set, it’s made me want to put more all over the garden!10/10 would recommend!

I bought this on a whim and have not had much chance to use it as yet, but last night I had them on and it creates a great atmosphere in the garden. The generous length of the lights meant I could get it the whole way around the pergola, and the wiring makes it pretty flexible and easy to hang.It has a few different settings so you can mix up the type of light effect you want. It did not last the whole time we were out in the garden, but I guess that is to be expected from a solar power battery

These solar lights are really beautiful and can be placed anywhere. You can change the light so it flickers which makes it very festive. The batteries last a long time as they are solar and need light from the sun. We put them on our garden shed and now our garden looks very festive and bright. For the price they are worth it.

Look nice but won’t work in the daytime - ie when the panel is in the light. Given I want this as lights for my daughter’s playhouse it’s not suitable.

It was good but didnt last long worked for the first month then just died

I was thinking use it outside at the time I purchase these string lights. At the time it arrived we decide to put them inside in the house as was not sure will it be enough sunlight for them in winter. Lights are very tiny and pleasant to watch. Good quality product. Easy to put on.

Solar lights with a variety of modesAutomatically come on when it goes dark and turn off when the sun rises.Light duration will depend on the amount of light charging the battery, but typically last 6-8 hours from around 5pm - 1am.Well made product, would buy again.
