Solar lights that are actually weatherproof

[ChasingRainbow5]

Gardening adjacent.... can anyone recommend some solar powered festoon/string lights that can withstand a reasonable amount of rain and wind? Don't want to have to keep bringing them inside.

Bump. I also would appreciate recommendations

I'd like to know, too - I'm a bit fed up with the cheap crap that dies after five minutes rain. I found this link which might be a useful starting point -

I try to stick to good quality brands like "SuperBright" and "Smart Solar". They are expensive but they do last. I keep mine outside between May-October but do put them away for the winter. I will occasionally replace the batteries too. I have these and they have lasted very well. Smart Garden Wave Stainless Steel Solar Bollard 10L Super Bright

Thanks @ThirdStorm, it's string lights I'm after but will see if that brand makes any!

The Solar Centre seems well reviewed but they're quite pricey so I'm reluctant to order without actually knowing anyone who's tried them.

I bought string lights from Powerbee several years ago ans they are still going strong. I leave them out all year as well. Designed for UK weather and light conditions apparently

Ooh thanks @Gatekeeper they look good!

I’ve got these 2 years ago, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spacelumen-Outdoor-Festoon-Shatterproof-Backyard/dp/B0DRVLJYKN, they’re out year round and work perfectly well even in winter.

Most don’t seem to last long but also people don’t realise that you need to change the batteries after a while.

Ikea garden solar lights are weather proof. They have expanded the range this year

I had some for years and they were great. Last time I checked they seemed to have a very limited range though. That was a couple of years ago. Perhaps they’ve brought them back.

I have these. 3years now and still work perfectly when dark - so good I got some more for my garden
