The IP65 rating is the specification worth paying attention to: it means these lights are sealed against dust and protected from water jets, so they can stay outside through a rainy season rather than being taken down at the first storm. 100 crystal globe LEDs along 12 metres give a warm, rounded glow — globes diffuse light more softly than shaped bulbs, which is why they suit everyday ambience as well as Christmas displays. Solar powered, so they charge by day and light automatically at night with no cable, no socket and no running cost. Use them along a fence, through a tree, around a veranda or over an outdoor dining area.

Buying guide
IP65 means these tolerate rain and hosing, but the solar panel still needs clear sun, so mount it away from shade and wipe it every few weeks. Globe lights look best with some spacing rather than bunched — run them in a gentle drape along a fence or across a veranda rather than wrapping tightly. Leave slack where a string passes around a growing branch. If you store them seasonally, coil them around a piece of card rather than bundling, which is what causes the tangles and broken leads that end most string lights.
How it compares
Against the star lights in the same range, globes give a softer, warmer glow that suits year-round use rather than only festive displays. Against mains string lights, solar needs no socket. For an area that must be lit reliably every night regardless of weather, mains lighting is more dependable.
