Perfect for my deck – love the ambiance!
These lights worked perfectly after charging them up. Installation was easy; I just used some cup hooks to hang them from the soffit on my deck. You can adjust the brightness effortlessly, from bright to a cozy candlelight. The kids next door think it's awesome when I switch to the blinking mode! The solar panel attached nicely to the deck railing, and they turn on at dusk, plus you can set how long you want them to stay on. I had a quick question for Colby, and he got back to me in no time. I'll get more once I find spots for them!

Love these lights, great service!
These lights were just what I needed for my backyard. While they aren't the biggest ones out there, I really like their size and they provide a nice amount of light. They showed up yesterday during a rainstorm, but I couldn't wait, so I put on my raincoat and hung them up anyway. I charged them via USB since the sun wasn't out much, and they lit up beautifully at night and lasted until morning. They've held up well against the rain so far, and all the connections seem solid and well-sealed, even the plug for the solar panel. It’s that the solar panel can be taken off easily without taking the whole string down! I used the clamp to attach it to my arbor, so I can bring it inside to charge when I need to. I’m happy with these lights, especially since I got them on sale for about $22, which feels like a good deal for this length. I might just grab another set! A special shoutout to Colby for being so helpful with my replacement after I had some issues. Fingers crossed the new ones hold up better outdoors!

Great solar string lights with some hiccups
These lights work well and were easy to set up on my patio railing. I did notice that two of the bulbs burned out on the first day, which was a bit disappointing. I really love the solar feature—they turn on at sunset and shine for most of the night. It's a solid deal overall, and I actually bought a set as a gift for my son. I had a little trouble when one strand stopped working just as my return window closed, and I found it frustrating not being able to get help. However, I’m happy to say Hawkins Woodshop reached out to me, which is not typical. They genuinely care about their customers, and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from them again.

Great addition to the yard
This is a nice product. The solar panel includes a stake and a big spring clip for attaching it to the top of a fence. I went with the clip. It even comes with a remote, which lets you adjust things like brightness and how long they stay on after dark. The remote works with infrared, so you have to point it directly at the back of the solar panel. When you send a command, the lights flash briefly to confirm they’ve received it. After that, they turn on at dusk at the brightness and duration you chose. They’re just decorative and not overly bright! I’m curious to see how long the batteries will last and how easy it will be to replace them.

Perfect for My Gazebo
I've had these for about six months now, and they light up every evening without fail. I hardly notice when they turn on; they just do their thing and look great. They're not too bright, which is exactly what I wanted. They really set a nice mood for my gazebo.

Great lights and awesome customer service!
I’m really happy with these lights for my backyard. They’re not the biggest ones out there, but that’s exactly what I wanted, and they shine bright enough. They showed up yesterday even though it was pouring, but I was so eager to get them up that I put on my raincoat and hung them anyway. I charged them through USB since there wasn’t much sun, and they lit up beautifully at night until morning. They seem to hold up well in the rain, so I’m hopeful they’ll be fine during this week’s forecasted downpours. All the connections feel well-sealed, and I love that the solar panel can be removed without taking down the whole string! I attached the panel to my arbor with a clamp so I can easily bring it inside to charge later if needed. What a great feature! However, I did have a hiccup; one of the wires broke after a couple of months, and now only two bulbs work. I’m bummed because they’re so pretty! But after contacting Colby about it, he’s offered to send a replacement. Fingers crossed the new ones will hold up better! I scored these for about $22 on sale, which is a steal for this length. I might even pick up another set!
