Reviews indicate bare wire which can snap during setup.
So am thinking these can be used atmost for 1 season/year, hence staying away.
I bought these a month ago for my balcony. After setting them up, the lights were initially quite bright. Afterwards with each following day's worth of solar charging, the brightness kept getting fainter or more dim. I made sure that the small solar panel in the most optimal position for collecting sunlight. YMMV based on how you deploy these.
Thanks! Have these for two seasons with no breakage or problems.

I like my harbor freight ones They are one solid color but they are covered with protection unlike these. I like the concept of these but the bare wire doesn't seem very wise after reading the one star reviews

I wonder if I can rewire these to a USB plug in and use them in the attic/crawlspace to get some light along the entire length of the space. When I need them I can bring a battery pack and unplug when I leave.

It may also depend on your location... i.e north in spring/winter will likely get a lot of intensity sunshine than in summer or vs southern states...

These bare wire ones are terrible. I'd go with the plastic covered ones if you needed one. The wires can vent and brakes off really easily during setup.

The attic / crawlspace idea is actually pretty clever.

You'd really have to know the voltage if planning to make USB work easily (5 volts I think for USB output). Other option would be using a small plug in transformer and would not require any soldering skill. I'd think most people might have a variety of old transformers laying around in a junk drawer from old cordless phones or laptops. Once you get the lights check out the batteries and try to match as close as possible to the voltage listed. Reviews mention these have 3 batteries but we don't know if it is 3 x 1.5v or 3 x 3.7v, or anything else for that matter.

You could have one of the panels outside all of the time charging and wire a plug to the lights to use it like an external battery when needed? Just a thought..

We have these lights (I'm not sure of the brand - but on Amazon I think a bunch of sellers sell the same product). These things are honestly the best lights we have (warm white). We wrapped them around trees, arbors, deck railings etc.. and they have been going strong for over a year. They were even going on in the middle of the north east winter (not every day because the days are short, angle of sun, solar panel burred in snow). However, once 'spring' came close every single string (4x) of these lights are on every single night not one of them didn't survive the winter.

The light wire is great because it blends into trees, railings, etc. We have some of them set to twinkle or dance at night and it looks like we have everything synchronized when you wrap these around things in your yard.

We paid $20ish for 2 of these lights...so I am definitely jumping on this deal.

If they're anything like the ones I have, they have a regular rechargeable 1.2V AA cell inside. Could just bring one of those and plop it in

It could be the battery as well. I think the cheap rechargeable battery that comes with it is very low like 700 mAh and might not hold a charge well. Just pop in an Eneloope battery and you should be fine. Also, the solar charger isn't very good for it size.

Why not just wear a headlamp?
