These solar-power string lights are a great addition to your garden or to a party you're planning, and I found they were easy to set up and use. Just make sure the solar panel is somewhere that it will get a lot of direct sunlight, and they will charge in 6-8 hours and last all night.

These lights have two modes, one steady and one flashing, though I much prefer the steady mode. The lights will turn off automatically during the day to save power, and then turn on again at night, so you just need to set them up and they will keep working on their own each night. The lights themselves are a nice water drop shape, but they're a bit long for indoor use, and probably better suited to outdoor use.

The wire that connects all the lights is waterproof (so you can use it outside) and very flexible, so it's not hard to wind them around trees, bushes or other decorations. Setting them up is very easy, and they really help to brighten up a garden or front lawn.
