I love these lights. They create the perfect ambiance. My neices stayed with us and they loved having these as a night light. We had a 4th of July picnic to watch the fireworks and strung these around our blanket and they added the perfect light glow. We string them up around our campsite when camp and provide plenty of beautiful ambient light. The solar charger is helpful but ultimately they have a great battery capacity and are very easy to recharge.
