Leaving your Christmas lights up all year long just got classy! Twinkling solar string lights can be woven into bushes or wrapped around tree branches to create a magical effect in your yard, all year round.
String lights use a single solar panel - usually included with the lights but check the item description - that must be placed in an exposed area. Depending on the exposure and charge acquired through the panel, the LEDs may stay lit all night or just for 5 or 6 hours.
While advances in LED technology have made string lights brighter in recent years, you would need a large number of strings to illuminate your yard. Think of them more as a decorative touch for the evenings. However, if there's a dark spot or niche in your yard that doesn't need bright lights but could use a dollop of illumination, solar string lights might be a good choice.
Either way, they're pretty and you don't need to pay money to power them.
