Overview

200 warm white LEDs on a 20 m clear wire, powered by a separate solar panel unit with a rechargeable LiFePO4 battery – spike it in the border or fix it to a wall, clip the string along a fence, pergola or rail, and it switches itself on at dusk.

  • 200 warm white LEDs (3000K), about 10 cm apart
  • 20 m of lights plus a 2.5 m lead to the panel
  • Separate 2W solar panel on a ground spike or wall bracket
  • Rechargeable 3.2V 1500mAh LiFePO4 battery
  • Around 10 hours a night after a sunny day
  • Waterproof plug between string and panel
  • Simple on/off – no modes to fiddle with
  • Outdoor string built for the British garden

Product Overview

A long run of small warm white lights that looks after itself. The 200 LEDs sit about 10 cm apart on a thin clear wire, so a 20 m string dresses a whole fence run, a pergola, a balustrade or a tree without a plug in sight. The solar panel unit is separate: put it where the sun is, on its ground spike or wall bracket, and run the 2.5 m lead to the start of the string.

✓ 200 warm white LEDs ✓ 20 m string + 2.5 m lead ✓ Separate 2W solar panel ✓ LiFePO4 battery ✓ Dusk-to-dawn automatic ✓ Spike or wall bracket

Each light is a slim 33 mm clear capsule with the LED inside, so by day the string almost disappears and by night you see a line of small warm points rather than a row of bulbs. The battery charges during the day, the light comes on when the panel goes dark and runs for around 10 hours after a good day of sun.

Seasonal performance: Best in spring and summer; limited winter operation depends on strong direct sunshine reaching a well-positioned, unshaded solar panel.

Where to Fit It

The string is at its best supported along a line – clip or tie it every three or four lights so it runs straight rather than sagging between fixings.

Fences and walls

  • Along the top rail or coping
  • A 20 m string covers about ten fence panels
  • Panel in the border below on its spike

Pergolas, arbours and rails

  • Along a beam or handrail
  • Balcony railings – spike the panel in a pot
  • Decking balustrades and gazebos

Trees and shrubs

  • Wrap a trunk in an even spiral
  • The bark supports the wire
  • Keep the panel out in the open

The Solar Panel Does the Work

The 2W panel and the battery share one small unit with an on/off button on the back. Push the spike into a border or lawn edge, or screw the bracket to a wall or fence post, and angle the panel towards the midday sun with nothing shading it. The unit is the dusk sensor too: the lights only come on once the panel is in darkness, so keep it away from porch lights and street lamps.

Light and Battery

200 warm white LEDs

  • 3000K warm white – a candle-coloured glow
  • 33 mm clear capsules on a clear wire
  • About 10 cm between lights, 20 m lit length

LiFePO4 battery

  • 3.2V 1500mAh lithium iron phosphate
  • Around 10 hours a night after a sunny day
  • Shorter running in dull weather and winter

Good to Know

Solar lights need direct sunlight – aim for five hours or more a day on the panel; less sun means shorter running time, especially in winter. The string plugs into the panel unit with a waterproof two-pin connector; push it fully home and leave it connected. There is one control, the on/off button on the unit – no modes, no remote, no dimmer – which is exactly what most people want from a set that should simply come on every evening.

Quick, flexible installation – spike the panel unit in a border or screw it to a wall within 2.5 m of where the string starts, angle the panel to the midday sun, press the on/off button to ON, then run the clear-wire string along your fence, rail or beam, clipping it every three or four lights, and push the plug fully home. Keep the panel away from porch and street lights, and give it a full day of sun before judging running time.

String Installation & Care Guide

Your new lighting system uses extremely fine copper wiring to transport low-voltage electricity efficiently. While this technology enables beautiful, eco-friendly illumination, it requires careful handling and specific installation methods to ensure longevity. Understanding these requirements will help you enjoy your lights for many years to come.

1. Panel Mounting Options

  • Ground spike for soft surfaces
  • Wall bracket for fences/walls
  • Shelf stand for windowsills (If Applicable)

2. Optimal Positioning

  • Choose a south-facing location
  • Avoid shaded areas during the day
  • Ensure direct sunlight access for charging
  • At night, keep the panel/sensor in a genuinely dark spot – avoid nearby windows, security lights or street lamps

3. Light String Support

  • Support every 2-3 LEDs (avoid spans over 4-5)
  • What to use: small cable clips or U-hooks (similar to the small clips used for telephone cable) — they hold the wire securely without squeezing or pinching it
  • Cable ties are fine if left loose — never tightened to the point of compressing the wire
  • Avoid: wrapping the string around a screw, or splitting the strands and routing them either side of a screw head — both methods damage the fine internal wires and lead to failure over time

4. Power Settings

  • Switch on for initial setup
  • Charges in both ON/OFF positions
  • Auto-activation at dusk using the built-in light sensor
  • If the panel or sensor is close to other light sources, the lights may not switch on at all

Installation Methods

Choose the best mounting option for your location. Proper installation is crucial for the longevity and performance of your lighting system.

Ground Installation

  • Soften hard ground with water
  • Insert spike securely
  • Attach power unit

Wall Mounting

  • Use screws and wall plugs
  • Secure bracket firmly
  • Click panel into place

Windowsill Setup (where applicable)

  • Use provided stand
  • Ensure stable surface
  • Maximum sun exposure during the day, but avoid strong indoor light on the sensor at night

Safety Checks

  • Secure all connections
  • Test stability
  • Check wire tension

Crucial Considerations for Longevity

Protect your investment by understanding these common challenges and how to avoid them. Proper care from the start ensures years of beautiful illumination.

Why Support Is Crucial

  • Prevents tension on delicate internal wires
  • Eliminates weak points that can break
  • Think of it like securing a delicate necklace
  • Rule: Support every 2-3 LEDs, with clips that grip without crushing

Water & Weather Protection

  • Avoid areas with concentrated water flow (e.g., from roofs without gutters)
  • Waterfalls can wear away protective coating over time
  • Do not submerge LEDs or place where water pools (unless rated IP65+)

The Conifer Challenge

  • Requires extra support due to annual pruning and wind movement
  • Branches can whip around vigorously during storms
  • Tip: Create a secure pathway, don't just drape
  • Always remove lights before pruning

Wildlife Interactions

  • Birds are attracted to small, bright objects resembling berries
  • Curious beaks can damage LED bulbs
  • Solution: Avoid strategic placement near bird feeders or heavy bird traffic areas

Moving, Storage & Long-Term Care

The delicate copper wiring requires special care when not in use. Proper handling prevents damage and extends the life of your lights significantly.

Safe Storage & Handling

  • Never pull, yank, or bunch the strings
  • Wind carefully around a cardboard tube
  • Store in a dry, safe location
  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the wire

Reinstallation Checks

  • Always check wiring for damage before reusing
  • Reapply all proper supports and cable ties
  • Test the lights before finalizing your setup

The Investment Pays Off

  • Proper installation leads to years of trouble-free use
  • Customers report multi-year longevity with correct care
  • A few extra minutes during setup saves hours of troubleshooting later

Your Long-Term Care Commitment

Your lighting system is an investment in your outdoor space. While the initial installation may take more time to do properly, this effort pays off many times over in longevity. Remember: The few extra minutes spent on proper support, thoughtful positioning and careful installation will save hours of troubleshooting and replacement later.

Final Note: When properly installed and cared for, your lights can provide years of beautiful, sustainable illumination. The key is understanding that their delicate nature requires thoughtful installation and handling. Take your time with the initial setup, follow these guidelines carefully, and you'll be rewarded with a lasting, magical display.

How Your String Lights Work

A separate solar panel unit charges a battery by day and runs 200 warm white LEDs by night. There is one control – the on/off button on the back of the unit – and no modes, remote or dimmer on this set: switch it on once and it looks after itself.

Daytime Charging

  • The 2W panel charges the built-in 3.2V 1500mAh LiFePO4 battery whenever daylight falls on it
  • Face the panel south and keep it clear of shade – the panel decides how long the lights run
  • A full day of sun gives the longest run; dull days give less

Automatic Night Operation

  • The panel is also the dusk sensor: when it goes dark the string comes on by itself
  • All 200 LEDs run steady warm white until the battery is spent or dawn returns
  • Around 10 hours after a full day of sun; shorter in dull weather and winter

Spring and Summer Product

  • Bright, long evenings from March to September are what this set is built for
  • In winter the low sun charges little – expect limited or no running on dull days
  • Keep the panel away from porch or street lights or it will not switch on

The String

  • 200 slim clear capsule LEDs on a clear wire, about 10 cm apart
  • 20 m of lights plus a 2.5 m lead to the panel unit
  • Waterproof two-pin plug between string and unit – push it fully home
