“These are a high quality set of lights - the solar unit it phenomenal! The bulbs are quite small and relatively closely spaced. The warm light is very nice and lights up outdoor areas very effectively - I have the extension kit attached (total 50 bulbs) and there is no dimming in light towards the end of the chain. My only issue, and this is my own fault for not reading the specifications closely enough - is that the bulbs are GLASS. I stupidly assumed that all outdoor products would be plastics to ensure they’re adequately robust - sadly, already have one shattered bulb - and my lights have been up for one night. I can only assume a breeze has tapped it against a post. (They were set up under a veranda with minimal fall between hooks - as I didn’t want them swinging in a breeze in the first place!) The starter pack only comes with two spare bulbs - and I can’t see where to purchase more separately. I no longer feel these are suitable for outdoor use, and don’t want to leave my $130 odd investment to break any further! This is the only disappointing part for what is otherwise a high quality product. But it’s rather crucial - so would recommend considering this and the location you plan for them. Would only purchase again if Hoselink changed to more robust bulbs. I’m pretty disappointed.”
“I have some solar lights already from Hoselink and was super impressed by the quality and service. I already have cheaper string lights from Bunnings that are great...as long as you get enough light. I wanted some warm white globe style lights for my balcony for more light and this delivered! I charged the panel up first using mains power and I can't believe how bright these are! They are so bright I was able to read a book outside at night. I was planning on leaving them on but I decided to turn them off when I was done as the light spill was probably too much for an allnighter in an apartment setting (conscious of neighbours). Length was great, in fact it was too long so I just unscrewed some of the globes to 'shorten' the length. If you want quality and brightness I highly recommend these. The solar panel is big and solid.”
“Great quality, bulbs have the perfect size, not too big nor too small. Very bright when on too. We've installed 2 months ago in our outdoor area under rain and wind, and still holding strong and working perfectly. However the solar charge lasts not longer than 2 or 3 hours, even under direct sunlight for several hours, which can be a bit frustrating in an event of a party or bbq at home.there was a problem with part of the product- the timely response and replacement of the product was polite and complete Great customer service”
“We received the lights in really good time. We had an electrician set them up on our balcony of the cafe we have, thy look really good. One thing we were a bit disappointed on was the length mentioned in the specifications was 8 metres in length.(which was great) Our balcony is 10 metres and the lights only went to half way 5 metres, so we had to buy 2 pairs. Just you may want to change that as it didnt reach the 8 metres.Solar lights work really well and add a nice ambiance to evenings.”
