Just the right amount of light! The spacing when combined with the lumens produces a perfect light that is not overbearing. A big bonus for us... the plug and play mini solar w/ internal battery. This standard two prong (IP44) plug and play solar feature allows the string lights to be used with an alternate standard house plug (making certain the specs/voltage are compatible, ours came with fairy lights)... and similarly the mini solar setup can be used with other products (again making certain the specs/voltage are compatible). Just an overall great product! So nice to have a lighted outdoor area without an electrical bill and one where the lights turn on and off without my thinking. Also provides decent and attractive lighting for dark areas where night time security may be an issue.
