Strung between two posts, along a fence, around a pergola or over a courtyard, they turn an outdoor space into somewhere people want to sit after dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe string is solar powered, which is what makes it practical in a garden. The panel charges through daylight and the string lights itself when the sun goes down, so there is no cable to run down the garden, no outdoor socket to install and no transformer to hide. A push button on the panel handles switching, and the LEDs and batteries are included in the set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo lengths are offered above: a 5 metre string with 10 bulbs and an 8 metre string with 20 bulbs. Two bulb finishes are also available - white ball and transparent ball - and they give noticeably different effects. The set is rated IP55 and built in ABS on a 3V supply, so it copes with rain and outdoor conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign and Style\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe G40 globe is a classic party and festoon shape, and the reason it has stayed popular is that it looks good both lit and unlit. Transparent bulbs show the LED filament inside and give a sharper, more sparkling point of light, which suits a vintage or festoon look. White bulbs diffuse the source and produce a softer, rounder glow, closer to a paper lantern, which reads gentler over a dining table. The ABS construction keeps the bulbs light, which matters on a long run since it reduces the sag between fixing points and makes the string safer to hang from lightweight structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere It Works Best\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOutdoors, they suit courtyards, patios, balconies, pergolas and gazebos, fence lines, garden walls, tree branches, garden rooms and the run between a house wall and a post. For events they are one of the easiest ways to light a wedding, a birthday or a garden party where no power is available. Indoors they work in bedrooms, children's rooms, tents and awnings, windows, attics, cafes, bars and shop displays - anywhere the panel can still catch enough daylight to charge, such as a bright windowsill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLighting and Atmosphere\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTen or twenty distinct globes produce the strung-overhead effect that changes how an outdoor space feels: light comes from above and from multiple points rather than from a single bright fitting, so faces are lit evenly and shadows are soft. This is decorative lighting and it should be treated as such - it creates atmosphere across a seating area rather than illuminating a path or a working surface. Run the string in a shallow zigzag or a single sweep overhead rather than tight along a wall, and the difference in effect is considerable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation and Placement\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe set is supplied for assembly, and the important decision is where the solar panel goes rather than where the bulbs go. Site the panel in the sunniest spot available with a clear view of the sky, and remember it can be a few metres from the lit run. Fix the string with hooks, cup hooks or cable ties at regular intervals so the sag is even; uneven sag is the main thing that makes a festoon run look untidy. Check every component for damage before hanging, and keep the string away from extremes of heat. The IP55 rating covers rain and spray, not immersion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChoosing the Right Length and Bulb\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 5 metre 10 LED string suits a balcony, a small courtyard, a doorway, a window frame or a single run along a fence panel. The 8 metre 20 LED string covers a pergola, a patio, a garden room or a longer fence line, and is the better choice if you want a single continuous run rather than a short accent. On bulb choice, transparent globes give more sparkle and suit a party or festoon look, while white globes give a softer wash and suit a dining table or a bedroom. Included components vary by the option selected, so confirm before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eG40 globe bulbs in white or transparent finishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolar powered with push button switching, no cable or socket needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable as 5m with 10 LEDs or 8m with 20 LEDs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP55 rated ABS construction on a 3V supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLEDs and batteries included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Eluma Lighting","offers":[{"title":"White Ball \/ 5M\/10LED","offer_id":54739235012947,"sku":"136:865#White Ball;249:200006305#1PC 5M10LED","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Ball \/ 8M\/20LED","offer_id":54739235045715,"sku":"136:865#White Ball;249:200006306#1PC 8M20LED","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Transparent Ball \/ 5M\/10LED","offer_id":54739235078483,"sku":"136:173#Transparent Ball;249:200006305#1PC 5M10LED","price":117.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Transparent Ball \/ 8M\/20LED","offer_id":54739235111251,"sku":"136:173#Transparent Ball;249:200006306#1PC 8M20LED","price":117.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1098\/0622\/3699\/files\/String_lights_on_wooden_pergola_202608261950.jpg?v=1787770261","url":"https:\/\/elumalighting.store\/products\/1pc-10-20led-solar-light-string-outdoor-courtyard-waterproof-g40-spherical-light-suitable-for-garden-wedding-party-decoration","provider":"Eluma Lighting","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
