MPOWERD Luci Color Solar String Lights + Phone Charger: Rechargeable via Solar or USB-C, 18’ Cord, 100 Lumens LEDs, 6 Colors + Color Changing Mode, Water Resistant, Camping, Pool/Patio, Travel

These usually last a long time, unfortunately this time it did not. Maybe a bad cell or something because it would only last about an hour. Didn’t hold full charge. Unfortunately I had to return.

love them

picked this up on sale for camping. very simliar to one of the other lights i have, the black one with soft white light pods. the unit is fairly large, but it houses the light string when not in use. you won't throw it into a small bag. 5" circle about 2" high. you probably also want to make sure you don't smash the solar panel into something and ruin it. you can charge it via usb-c or the solar panel, but it will take a few days of good sun to fully charge the 2000mAh battery. the string is attached to the unit, which is disappointing as you may have to take it down or relocate it to recharge it via solar or usb-c. some sort of quick-disconnect would have been a nice feature. it says it's waterproof, but i can't find a rating, the light pods are sealed and the base can be if you close it. it's probably ok to leave out in a light rain but i wouldn't dunk it. the color choices for the lights are interesting. instead of your typical 7 led colors you find on so many devices (bright blue, red, cyan, green, etc.) you get 5 pastel colors plus a bright cold white, the 'flashlight' on the top of the unit for a spot light, and a cycle mode that slowly shifts between the colors. the pastel colors are nice, make good accent lighting, but aren't very bright and you're not going to sit and read all night to them. the bright white is much brighter and can easily light up a small space like a tent. i can recommend these for some 'fun' string lights, for camping, around the house, or anywhere you want to string them up. if you're looking for good lighting to read or work by, check out the warm white light in the black case.

These lights make the camp site a bit more special and the color options are cool. But even brand new with a fresh charge we'd turn them on at 9 or 10 and they're dead by 2 or 3. 15hr claim is a big stretch. Still fun to have.

I did 4 stars because I bought this as a gift. Didnt hear any feedback so Im guess it works ok
