The Smart Solar 30 LED crystal ball light string is ideal for decorating shrubs, umbrellas and doorways. The 30 energy-saving white LED’s with transparent crystal ball covers are powered by a separate solar panel allowing lights to be placed in shady areas.

These lights are well-made and a great value. I don’t think they put out the same amount of light as a traditional light string, but they are solar and don’t need additional power.

It’s cool to watch them turn on automatically at night. They last all night, which is unusual for solar lights. To get best results, charge the batteries before first use by using a plug-in charger, then reinstall them in the solar panel. They will recharge daily without fail.
