Solar Rope String Lights, 60 ft IP65 Outdoor Tube Lights with 8 Modes

Sixty feet of clear, flexible tube with small LEDs running its whole length, powered by a little solar panel on its own ground stake. Wrap it around the porch railing, run it along the fence or spiral it up a young tree, and after dark the outline of your yard glows in warm white, cool white or a mix of colors.

No extension cord across the lawn. No outlet to find by the door. No switch to remember every evening.

A rope of light, not a row of bulbs

Ordinary string lights hang as a row of separate points, and the wire between them stays dark. Here the LEDs sit inside a clear tube, so when they come on the whole rope picks up the glow, and you see one continuous line of light with brighter points along it. Wound around a handrail or a post, it reads as a neat, deliberate spiral rather than a tangle of wire.

The tube is soft rubber with copper wire inside, and it bends easily. It follows a railing, the top rail of a fence, the trunk of a small tree or the edge of a garden bed without fighting you. At 60 feet, one string covers a long porch railing and the steps down from it, or a good stretch of picket fence.

The sun charges it, and it turns itself on

The rope runs to a small square solar panel, 2.6 inches across, mounted on a ground stake. Push the stake into a flower bed or the lawn where it sees the sun, and the light itself can go wherever it looks best, even along a porch that sits in shade all day. A rechargeable battery is built in, so there is nothing to buy before the first evening.

As the light fades at dusk it comes on by itself, and it goes off again in the morning. A full charge takes at least six hours of direct sun and gives around eight hours of light, so short, gray days will give it less to work with. On the back of the panel there are two buttons, one to switch it on or off and one to step through its eight lighting modes, from a steady glow to flashing. The rope and the panel are both rated IP65, so a wet night is no reason to bring them in.

Warm white, cool white or multicolor

All three are the same rope, panel and stake, and only the light changes. Warm White gives the soft golden glow of traditional Christmas lights and looks right against wood railings, brick and evergreen planting. Cool White is crisper and cooler, and it suits a white picket fence, a modern porch or a yard under snow. Multicolor runs a mix of colors along the tube for the cheerful, old-fashioned look of a front yard lit up for Christmas.

Set the panel in the sun once, and every evening the porch is already lit when you pull into the driveway.
