The TW SHINE solar string light set runs 100 feet with 31 bulbs plus two spares, all shatterproof plastic rather than glass. A built-in light sensor turns them on at dusk and off at dawn automatically, powered by a high-efficiency solar panel on a 180 degree rotating mount so you can aim it at the sun regardless of where you hang the string. A wireless remote handles four brightness levels (25, 50, 75, 100 percent), 6 and 8 hour auto-off timers, and mode changes without walking outside. Color temperature is a warm 2700K. IP65 rating and drop-resistant bulbs handle rain and wind. Three mounting options cover ground stakes, wall hanging, and clipping to a flat surface. Best fit: patios, pergolas, fences, and campsites.
Pros
- Light sensor handles dusk-to-dawn automatically, so there is nothing to switch after install
- Remote controls brightness and timers, which saves walking out to the panel
- Shatterproof plastic bulbs and IP65 rating survive weather better than glass Edison strings
Cons
- Solar runtime depends on how much direct sun the panel gets, so a shaded install will fall short on cloudy weeks
Frequently asked questions
Do they turn on by themselves?
Yes. A built-in light sensor switches them on at dusk and off at dawn with no timer to program.
How long do they run on a full charge?
Runtime depends on how much direct sun the panel gets. Timer modes of 6 and 8 hours help stretch a partial charge.
Are the bulbs glass?
No. They are shatterproof plastic with a drop-resistant design, which holds up much better in wind than glass bulbs.
Can I control the brightness?
Yes. The included remote sets four brightness levels at 25, 50, 75, and 100 percent, plus timers and modes.
