Brightech Ambience Pro Solar Powered String Lights - Commercial Grade Waterproof Patio Lights with 27 Ft Edison Bulbs - Shatterproof LED Solar Outdoor String Lights - 1W LED, Soft White Light

The media could not be loaded. Update: one year later, they are still working fine. I turn them on when I use my patio at night; they don't get everyday use, but typically at least once a week. We have had some impressive windstorms, and a small amount of water has gotten into the plastic bulbs. Yes, I would still buy them again. And although my profile says Vine voice, I bought all of these with my own money.I bought because of the price and reviews on other Brightech lights, but these are so much better than I expected. Here's some features that weren't really apparent in the listing.They work dusk to dawn, until the battery runs out at least. You don't have to use the remote to turn them off during the day.The buttons on the remote change the brightness of the lights. On is lo, 2h is hi, 4h is med.They remember the last setting. Every evening they will turn on to the last brightness level selected.The Off button on the remote will allow the battery to charge, but not turn on the lights at night.There is an on-off switch on the back of the solar panel. When switched to Off, it doesn't appear to charge the battery.The on-off switch resets the brightness setting to lo, same as if you pushed the On button on the remote.The IR sensor for the remote is on the back of the panel. Might cause issues if you are using the screw mount or the ground stake.The remote only has a range of 6-9 ft (2-3m) in the dark of night.There is no rotation adjustment on the mount. The only adjustment is tilt up and down. Major design flaw for a solar product, as you really need adjustments to face the sun.The wall mount is permanently attached to the solar panel. Every other attachment connects to it. Aesthetic issue if you're using the ground stake.The clip mount is the wall mount screwed to a clip. The screws seem undersized for the hole.If you order multiple strings, the same remote can control all of them.Overall, the quality seems fine. It has survived several wind and rain storms with no issue and no water intrusion into the bulbs. I'm thrilled that I can adjust the light output as needed for the ambiance, instead of merely setting a timer like I thought. I like that I can leave the lights off when I am not out there, too. Instruction sheet says the brightness levels are 100%, 200%, and 400%, which seem reasonable. I like the filament style look better than the led-studded tube in the pictures from other Brightech offerings; looks more like an old style Edison bulb. The plastic bulb housings unscrew easily if you ever got condensation in the bulbs and need to empty it. The cord is thick and seems sturdy. There's no promises of gift cards or other scams for a good review, though they do offer a 10% discount for their website if you post a picture of their lights on your Insta. This light set is not yet available from them, though.The bad things to note are relatively minor. The clear plastic filament covers did get slightly scratched in transit. They're not covered with any protective material. I personally like not having the hassle and waste of extra packaging. The face of the credit card remote was stuck on slightly crooked, where it didn't lay flat. I gently peeled it off and replaced it where it belongs using the original adhesive. There is a good amount of extra cord, around 18", on the end for some reason, and you will have to wrap it or tie it off or something. The remote range is woefully short at 6-9'. Minor issues.The lo setting is enough to light my way in a 8'x12' pergola section with a 12' top. The hi setting is enough to eat dinner, and brighter than the redneck dual 300 LED Christmas icicle light strings I had tossed up there.I would buy these again, provided they last a decent amount of time. The build quality gives me high hope that they will. I would pay a premium to get the extra features the remote offers over the other Brightech and other brand models. Even if you lose the remote, when you switch the panel switch off and on, it behaves just like the version without the remote. When I purchased, this was selling at a discount to the other models, which made it a steal.

This was one of those impulse buys suggested when I was checking out on my pergola purchase with Amazon. And I must say...a pleasant surprise. It works great. Setup was simple and it works. I gave brightness 4 stars meaning it is not super bright, but that is NOT a complaint. The brightness is just right for creating a nice relaxed, under the pergola, conversion, atmosphere.I don't know how long this will last or if it will hold up when the rain comes, but now, for the summer, it is perfect for me. And at $54 is priced nicely. Highly recommended.One note: it is solar/photo cell only. There is no on off switch and no ac power. But it comes on in the dark and goes off in the daylight right on cue!

Update - my original review, below, was in May 2022 - and they still work great. It's almost 2025. Very pleased.I have only had these for a couple of weeks but they seem to work really great, they charge well and last for as long as I need them to in the evening for a couple of hours and they are plenty bright with multiple levels of brightness. They look pretty good too. I was actually pleasantly surprised at how good these are for the price. I had looked at some at Harbor freight and other places and these were less expensive actually but it turns out they work really well. I am interested to see how long they last as far as the battery longevity. Hopefully that will stay around for a long time because I like the idea of it better than having to hardwire it to my house or find a plug which looks kind of crappy. I'm in San Diego though so it's fairly sunny although we are in May gray time of year where we get some clouds most of the month but it has still had enough charge to last me every evening while I am barbecuing. The remote control kind of sucks on it but it works and I don't really care that much about a remote control so long as it does it's function. Overall very happy with this.

Beautiful lighting for my back porch. The bulbs are plastic and chords are very durable unlike the last outdoor lighting I purchased at Target. Those broke and had to be readjusted annually. These look built to last and come on each night with ease. The solar panel clipped easily to my covered gutters, and event though they don’t get direct sunlight, they are fully charged and light up with ease. My only complaint is that I wish they were brighter. It creates a beautiful glow for ambiance but would not function well if this was all there was when having an evening get together. Overall, I am very pleased with the product. Quality and elegant product for a great price!

Installation simple, solar panel is small yet does the job very well. I live in a wooded area and I was surprised at how well the solar panel worked and the lights stay on at least 6 hours.At 3,000K the lights are not super warm but at least they're not that cold, harsh blue-white light. The remote is a great feature which allows for remote on/off (in addition to the system's light sensor initiating at dusk. You can select "2x" or "4x" on the remote to change light intensity a bit. You have the option to stake the solar panel in the ground or you can use the clamp accessory to attach the panel to a deck rail or other support. There is no color choice for the lights except "warm white".

The lights are beautiful! I was worried as the instructions said they would have a slight charge out of the box and they didn’t. Chatted with customer service and was told to leave the solar panel in the sun for 48 hrs. I did and they have worked beautifully since I bought them mid May. I love them and would buy them again-they come on at dark and stay on until it gets light. Amazing. Good quality and great price. Would definitely buy again.

Muy buen producto era lo q yo querí lo recomiendo, excelente vendedor

El material es resistente, la instalación es muy fácil. La iluminación es tenue por lo que si esperas otro tipo de iluminación y más intensa, estos focos no están diseñados para ese escenario. La luz es tenue y cálida por lo que da un aspecto bohemio al lugar. Se prenden tan pronto detecta el sensor la obscuridad y se apagan tan pronto detectan luz, el control remoto es útil si no pretendes dejar la luz prendida durante toda la noche.

I like the ease of installation and the lights themselves I did Like them on Instagram and never received the $20.00 off next purhase

Están muy bonitas y se ven de calidad, cargan muy rápido con la luz solar y sirves muy bien para el patio o terraza

Las usamos en cabañas en playa y el ambiente es muy cálido. Muy funcionales a la vez.
