Solar String Lights 1.9m - Multicoloured

Description

DescriptionThese solar string lights carry a run of bulb-shaped lights on a black cable, each with a silver stainless steel cap and a tinted plastic shade in red, blue, amber or green. The string is 190cm long, 6cm wide and 10cm high, and weighs just 0.25KG, so it is light enough for a simple hook. Inside every shade sits a fine spiral of integrated LEDs at 2700K, a warm light that turns gold through the coloured plastic, and a flicker effect gives each one a gentle, candle-like movement. Power comes from a small solar panel on a pointed stake, joined to the string by its own cable.
Because the panel charges from daylight, there is no plug or socket to find, so the colour can go wherever the cable reaches. As general guidance, the panel does best in an open, sunny spot. The jewel tones suit a party, a bedroom or a reading corner, anywhere you want a cheerful glow rather than plain white light. We like the string draped along a shelf, a mantelpiece or a window frame, where the coloured shades catch the eye even while unlit. It also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves colour and has no spare socket nearby.
The caps are stainless steel, and stainless steel resists rust, while plastic shades are far lighter than glass ones. An on/off switch lets you choose when the string glows. It runs on one AA NiMH battery of 600mAh at an operating voltage of 1.2V, and NiMH cells are rechargeable, so the panel charges it from daylight. The installation instructions come as a download, so you can read them before you start.
