A garden light chain that fills up in daylight and runs after dark

A small solar panel on a stake feeds the strand, so the run needs no outlet at either end. Lengths go from 5 to 30 meters, with 50 to 300 LEDs along the copper wire. The housing is rated IP65 against rain and snow.

Why choose this garden light chain?

Outdoor lighting usually starts with the question of where the power is. Here the stake goes in wherever the sun reaches and the wire goes wherever you want it. Nothing draws from the meter once it is up.

• Charges itself in daylight: the panel tops up the battery through the day and the strand comes on at night.
• Built for weather: an IP65 rating covers rain, snow and the spray from a sprinkler.
• Four lengths: 5, 10, 20 and 30 meters, or 16.4 to 98.4 feet, with the LED count scaling to match.
• Pick the tone: warm and cool white plus blue, green, pink, purple, red and a multicolor option.
• Thin copper wire: the strand bends around railings, branches and parasol ribs and stays where you wrap it.

Set includes the strand, the solar panel and the ground stake.

Where the strand goes changes what it does. Along a fence line it marks the edge of the yard; wound through a hedge it reads as points of light with no visible wire; over a table it puts enough light out for a meal. Keep the panel clear of shade and the run stays even from one end to the other.
