Description
These Solar Lights carry 300 multicoloured LEDs over 30 metres for $28.99. They charge from the supplied panel in 4 to 8 hours of sun, run 6 to 8 hours a night, and come on by themselves once it gets dark. No wiring, no powerpoint, no timer.
Multicolour is the festive choice. Where cool white reads as architectural, a multicoloured string reads immediately as Christmas or a party, which is exactly what you want on a front fence in December or around a children's play area.

Why This Is the Christmas Set
-
Multicoloured - unmistakably festive, which white never is
-
No lead across the lawn - the usual reason outdoor Christmas lights do not happen
-
Comes on at dusk by itself - no one has to remember through December
-
Costs nothing to run - a month of nightly display for zero electricity
-
Two modes - flashing for the season, steady for the rest of the year
Does Multicolour Suit a Garden or Only a Party?
Honestly, it is seasonal. On a fence in December, wrapped through a tree, or around a play area it looks right. In a courtyard you eat in every night of the year, most people tire of it and would rather have the cool white version of this same string. A practical approach is multicolour on the front of the house and white in the entertaining area behind it - the two sets are the same product otherwise.
Can You Leave Solar Lights Out All Year?
They are built for outdoor use and will survive it, but life is longer if you bring them in over a wet winter. The vulnerable part is not the string, it is the panel housing and the connection where water eventually finds a way in after a couple of seasons of driving rain. Australian UV is also hard on plastic. If you use them mainly for Christmas, packing them away in January genuinely doubles how many years you get.
What Happens on a Cloudy Day?
Shorter run time, not none. The panel still gathers charge under cloud, just far less of it, so instead of 6 to 8 hours you may get 2 to 4. Several overcast days in a row compound it. This is normal for every solar light regardless of price, and the practical fix is placement - a panel in genuinely unobstructed sun banks noticeably more on a grey day than one that only gets a few hours of direct light even in summer.
Buyers are decorating for Christmas, lighting children's play areas and cubby houses, and dressing gardens for parties and outdoor events.
The cool white version is also available. See Christmas, Home & Garden, or Party Supplies & Decorations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the colours change or stay fixed?
The LEDs are fixed colours along the string. The modes change how they animate, not which colours light.
Do I need batteries or a powerpoint?
Neither. It is fully solar.
How long will it run?
6-8 hours fully charged. Less after cloudy weather.
Can I set it to steady rather than flashing?
Yes, one of the two modes is steady on.
Is it waterproof?
Yes, made for outdoor use.
Does the panel have to be near the lights?
The lead lets you stake the panel in sun and run the string into shade.
How is this different from the cool white version?
Colour only. Same 300 LEDs, same 30m.
