I like this rope light. It works fine. It's not super bright, but it's solar powered, so I'm not surprised by that. My only complaint is that the on/off switch on the control box doesn't tell you what setting it is currently at. So when it's not charged, it's nearly impossible to tell whether it is charging or not.

I use it indoors for mood lighting, and taped it in a south facing window. On sunny winter days I've gotten 6+ hours of battery life. I get significantly less on overcast and stormy days, as expected.
