Short wiring in my review

I bought these thinking they could go around the lower limbs of the 5 trees in my front yard. I got them 2 days ago and didn't have time to put them up so I laid them in the yard so they would charge. I got home from work yesterday and checked them., all good. I unwrapped the wiring and started to hang them and discovered the spacing between each light is only 12". I would have to have a lot of these to be able to decorate the 5 trees I intended to do (minimum of 4 sets per tree to look nice). I wound up doing the 5 small bushes between the circle drive. They work great, come on at dusk (around 7 pm) and were still on this morning when I left for work (6:15 am). They look great, but I expected longer wiring between each light. There are 8 lights per string and I thought I would just go around the bottom of each tree., wrong., That's why only 3 stars. Unless you want to spend hundreds to do large trees, forget it. Looks good on small bushes. When I take them down I will spend a little time and splice in longer wiring myself with some 20 awg. and heat shrink connectors. They would be even better if you could plug end-to-end but being solar powered, I guess you can just power so many. I still might get 5 more to keep doing the bushes, cause they do look great. Also a big plus is you can detach the long lead wire and solar panel via an installed coupling, which makes hanging them a lot easier. My sprinkler system (S Florida) sprays them hard, but they are still working. If I don't have any failures before they come down I'll most likely get some more. If they do fail., well., you'll see my post [:-)

Pros
  • Safe to use
Cons
  • The lights might be too bright to use indoors without causing eyestrain
