This is the LED light strand that is powered by the sun instead of electricity, enabling easy outdoor installation without tangling extension cords or proximity to an outlet. A small solar panel stakes into the ground up to 7' away from the light strand and powers 100 bright LEDs for up to 12 hours after an eight-hour charge. Seven different light patterns dance along the strand in succession, or you can select your favorite sequence to flash continuously or have the lights provide steady illumination with the touch of a button. The solar panel gathers moderate or direct sunlight during the daytime and automatically turns the lights on at dusk and off at dawn. The 40'-long strand provides enough slack to adorn trees, railings, or lampposts. The LEDs are rated for 10,000 hours of operation. Includes two rechargeable batteries. White. (9 1/2 oz.)
