Really good battery-operated outdoor lights?

Can anyone recommend me some, please?

We've never really decorated the outside of our house (wasn't the UK norm when we grew up in the 70s/80s, I suppose). Last year, I put out some fairy lights on the porch and in the front garden, and they looked really nice. This year I'd like to ramp it up a bit and hang some lights from the guttering. DS has been asking us to do this for years and I'd like to do while he's still just about young enought to appreciate it, IYSWIM.

I can't countenance mains-operated lights as our house needs a rewire as soon as the stupid pandemic settles down, so needs to be battery-operated. I could just do hundreds of fairy lights with command hooks but I'm worried it might look a bit rubbish. I don't like the white icicle ones, would prefer something warm white/gold/green etc.

What would you suggest? TIA. Xmas Smile

I got these in warm white from Robert Dyas last year; I don't know if they're doing warm white this year. I put them up in mid December, and the batteries lasted until early March.www.robertdyas.co.uk/robert-dyas-battery-operated-star-translucent-string-lights-ice-white

I got some on Aliexpress and they've lasted really well.
