Solar-Powered String Accent Lights

Comments about Plowhearth Solar Holiday Lights:

I use thes lights for ALL the different holidays. Great for those areas lacking any electricity. I wished I'd taken a picture of this years diplay, I weave them with greenery for Christmas, string with colored PVC for 4th of july. Solar spotlights too are valuable, they light our address display and our flag display, we would be dark without them! Batteries last a good long time and are easy to replace when needed.

I bought two strings several years ago. People were fascinated when I was able to light an evergreen over 100' from the house. Everything about these is fine, except the fragile wiring has been damaged by deer and ???. I repaired them two years in a row, and finally had to throw one string away. As far as how long they stay lit, I don't know why others have problems; mine stay on almost all night.

ON OUTDOOR TREE

Comments about Plowhearth Solar Holiday Lights:

I liked the idea of solar lights and ordered the lights to trim a giant window cactus. However, this product did not work as described. The lights were beautiful when initially lit, but dimmed quickly and were out in less than 15 minutes. With each recharge and use,the lighting time decreased. Even letting the solar panel recharge for two weeks, and then turning the lights back on, did not solve the problem of inadequate power.

We used our lights on shrubs & Crape Myrtles in the area of one white Xmas tree surrounded by fake poinsettias. It was magical.

We did find it easier to use string lights rather than the net variety, and that designs could be more sculptural.

I love how the light have been shing on my arbor in the cold winter nights.

Comments about Plowhearth Solar Holiday Lights:

It was hard to get first charge in winter because I live in forest. Once fully charged, lights lasted all night but now only stay on for an hour or two. So charming, though. Installation tip: make sure that solar panels are placed high enough off ground that they won't be covered in snow.

I removed the 2 AA batteries and charged them in a wall charger overnight before using the lights. Now, despite overcast days, the lights are working great. The 5 ft. of cord from the charger to first light is helpful. I would keep these up year-round because of the helpfull light they provide in our wood/tool storage area. Unfortunately 1 set was chewed up by a stray puppy we took in over night[...]overall these lights are great! I would love a couple more sets!

Comments about Plowhearth Solar Holiday Lights:

The lights do not stay on for any length of time and have to be turned off for several days in order to obtain enough power to stay on at a later date. Not a good product for the money. I thought they would be much better due to the store they come from.

Comments about Plowhearth Solar Holiday Lights:

I purchased 2 sets of solar lights for the holidays. I exchanged one set immediately because it did not charge. The remaining set will light for a couple of hours before it goes dark. At this point, I should have asked for a refund rather than an exchange. I would recommend strongly that one wait until the technology is perfected.

used for an October wedding, stored until recently- they are not working now. I need to relocate the solar receiver

Comments about Plowhearth Solar Holiday Lights:

I purchased a set of these last year to put on a small tree at my husband's gravesite. They worked great and I received many compliments and inquiries as to where I purchased them. I am purchasing a new set for this year because the groundskeepers ripped a bulb off when they removed them and set them beside the headstone in the spring. However, I don't believe it was because they weren't durable. I believe it was just carelessness and being in a hurry- don't know why they felt the need to take them off in the first place, as I had them secured to the tree. The lights still work even though a bulb was removed from it, but I am afraid it will get damaged in the weather (snow), so I am just replacing it for cosmetic reasons, basically.

I ordered two sets of these for a couple small trees in my front yard. One string never did work, and P/H eventually sent a replacement. They worked for about two weeks, and then just died on me. During those two weeks, they were very dim and only lit up for a couple of hours despite getting a full charge of direct sunlight. The idea behind this product is great - these just ended up being a hassle for me.

Just drape them over your bushes and presto they light at night. They are wonderful!

I have a small tree in my garden which these highlight beautifully.

Comments about Plowhearth Solar Holiday Lights:

The solar lights work well lighting up a wrought iron trellis that is located too far from any electrical outlets.

Comments about Plowhearth Solar Holiday Lights:

These have been in use continuously since I purchased them (about six months ago) and still shine brightly for 8-10 hours each night. Even on overcast days, they hold a charge for a shorter evening display.

Comments about Plowhearth Solar Holiday Lights:

the solar panel did not gather enough power to keep the lights lit - they went out after about 1 hour. very disappointing.

Comments about Plowhearth Solar Holiday Lights:

don't work well , diminished light,needs more power to absorb the northwest light. What do people in more northern countries do?

Comments about Plowhearth Solar Holiday Lights:

solar is good; a longer line to "find the sun" would be good, as my azaleas (north facing blossoming bushes) are in the shade, and the solar collecter requires sunlight.
