Ambience Pro Retro Edison

I bought 5 sets of these lights two years ago and have been very happy with them. They light up our fence on the perimeter of our yard and look great. They automatically come on at dusk and turn off at sunrise. They shine brighter than any solar light on the market and they are of high quality and a very good value. Over two years I have bought 6 sets but have had to replace two that didn’t work anymore. We live on a salt water tidal river so the elements take their toll on most outdoor items with rust, etc. But I really love these lights so much I have added an extra set to light another area of the property. For the price if they last at least two years I will keep buying them. When the bulbs fill up with a little water from condensation it is very easy to unscrew them and pour out the water. It only happens about once a year so it is not a problem. Everyone asks me where I got these lights and I tell them Amazon.

Being technical by nature this review is aimed at people who want details not described in most of the other reviews. I bought two sets of these light for a new, backyard pergola. Having read other reviews I was fully aware that these lights would not be as bright as hard-wired (110v) string lights. They are intended to provide low-level, mood/conversation lighting under my 14 x 17 pergola. First, it’s important to point out that the advertised length of 27 ft. represents the entire length of the product. More than 1/3 of that is the span of wire between the solar panel and the first light, which is 9.5 ft. I will attempt to include a diagram (picture) with this review that shows all the measurements related to this product. Also, the advertised distance between each bulb is 20 inches when in fact is 18.5 inches. There are 12 bulbs and total distance from bulb 1 to bulb 12 is 17 ft. Each bulb socket has a small hole on its end. The hole makes it convenient for hanging the lights and using an S-hook works really well. The wiring seems pretty solid and the quality overall is nice. The biggest unknown for me living in the hot desert will be seeing how well the product stands up to intense sun and heat. The first fail point is likely to be the battery. The advertised battery is a single, 1500mah, type 18650, 3.7V. It’s sealed inside the solar panel. I’d prefer if it was replaceable although there is male/female twist-connection between the panel and the sting of lights so at least the solar panel/battery unit can be replaced if need be. To mount the solar panel, which does not weigh very much at all, you have the option of using a stake (for ground mounting) or a large clip. The clip is plastic, fairly strong and well built. Although it does fit on my 2 x 4 pergola framing (actually 1.2 in.), due to the potential for very strong winds, I plan to forgo both of those mounting options and will develop my own to attach the solar panel to the top of the pergola. Overall I'm happy with the quality and the product works as expected.

We love these lights, and I have lost count of how many of these we have purchased over the years. I think we're at 6 now...LOL...and I'm ordering a 7th for a gift. We keep one strand in our camping supplies and they light up an EzUP canopy perfectly. We use two strands around our pergola in the back yard, and that provides a lovely ambient glow without being obnoxious like fully electric lights. We have three other strands in our backwoods cabin, which does not have electric. The ones in the backyard stayed out in weather for almost three years before they started to kinda fill with water after rains, but the lights still came on. We love the fact that the solar panels are removable from the strand, so that you can place the lights where you want and leave them and then just move the panels into the sun to charge during the day. Our cabin lights just stay hanging in the rafters, and when we go home I take the solar panels. Then, when we know we're heading back out to the cabin, I simply put them in the sun the day before and voila!...there is light! Keep in mind these are NOT bright lights. They are not meant to be fully illuminating. You're likely not going to sit under them and read a book by it. They provide a nice ambient glow and allow you to see what's going on around you but are not blindingly bright. Would highly recommend.

This has been one of the best products I have purchased on Amazon. The team responded to my needs when I needed support, which is why I gave them a 10/10 for purchases, a very good product. I recommend it to anyone who wants to buy it.

muy hermosas me gustaron mucho

So happy with these lights! Equally as good as electrical and the fact that they are solar just makes me so happy.

Works well. Easy to install.

These are not bright enough. They might only be good for decoration purpose If you need something for general lighting purpose, you would need like a bigger string light with 1 - 2 watt led power per bulb. But those normally don't come with solar panel. You can try to use like beccalighting low voltage string light and wire with a automatic power supply to achieve the same result. I left 3 star because they are easy to install
