Anyone ever try Solar Powered Outdoor Lights??

Hi All,

I don't normally post on this board, but was wondering if anyone has ever tried Solar powered outdoor Christmas lights.  My DH and I live in a condo and there is no outside outlet for us to plug in lights.  We have a bush in front of our steps as well as the railing around out steps that we'd like to decorate with lights.  To me it's not Christmas w/o some outdoor lights so I really want to make this work somehow :-)

I guess I want to know how well they work, if they are worth the money, and are easy to set up.  I've seen them advertised for as much as $30 for 100 lights and I need to justify spending that much on lights when I'll probably have to buy at least 2 sets.

TIA!                                                                                                           Lisa

My mom got some of these for a tree in her front yard.  They are considerably dimmer than the lights she plugs in.

I think the plug in would be much better more power & would last longer. Better quality most of the time too.

They would be way easy to instal

We had some at our apartment but choose not to bring them to the new house.  Like PP said, they are much dimmer.  And, you have to be sure to keep the sensor thingie clear of snow.  It won't charge if it is covered with snow.

We have some and they are dimmer.

We also have some wreaths and small trees with battery operated led lights, and they work really well.  They have a sensor and turn on automatically at dusk.

I've used battery powered lights & they work nice.
