Solar garden lights that last??

I want some string lights (ideally not glad I’m case they break getting smashed against the fence in the wind) that look nice but will last?? I don’t mind spending a bit more for decent ones. Any suggestions??

No idea, but I am watching.

I've had some like this wrapped round a small fir tree in my garden since pre Christmas 2019. They still light up every night (albeit briefly on a non sunny day in winter). They currently stay on all night when there has been a few sunny hours.

I also have these on the fence. They have been up since before Christmas this year. They are glass and survived the gales we have had this year

These, if it has been remotely sunny, stay on until dawn but only last a couple of hours on a dull day and occasionally didn't come on at all on very dreary winter days.

These are really good lights

I have 2 sets of these wrapped around an apple tree. They have different settings. Admittedly, they are my second lot...the first set lasted just over a year. But they were relatively inexpensive.

@NannyGythaOgg the second link is the same as the first one? I’d like something like the little round ones for example rather than the string fairy lights so they also look attentive in the day time

Sorry,
I checked the links had pasted correctly, without checking I'd copied the address for the second
it's these

Very bad for nightlife in the garden to leave them on all the time.
