Customer Reviews - Falmouth USB Solar Festoon Lights (Set Of 25 Glass Bulbs)

Wonderful Verified Purchase
These festoon lights are excellent. They are really bright on the brightest setting, so light up a dark seating area in the garden. Only negatives are short lead from solar panel to first bulb, so have had to perch the panel, in view, on top of fence panel; also the hanging hooks on the bulbs are only on one side and I can't use them to hang, double sided hooks would be better.

Brighter than i thought they'd be Verified Purchase
These things are great. I built a patio all the way at the end of my quite long garden and did not want to run extension cables all the way from the house. I was having a BBQ with some mates and after the sun went down, even with a small bonfire going it was a bit silly. A couple of guys turned the torches on their phones on. I set up these lights around the edge of the patio and it light up the area great. Not so bright as to disturb the neighbors (although there are several settings where i can turn the brightness down), it gives just the right background light so we can all stay outside after dark and keep drinking...

Great Lights Verified Purchase
I bought 2 sets of these lights. There was an issue with one of them, however, the problem was quickly resolved by Aminah from the support team. I highly recommend these lights, and would use this company again.

Great solar lights Verified Purchase
I have 3 sets of these set up along the top of the garden fences. They work really well, but the bulbs sometimes go dark - easily fixed by reinserting them into the holder. One set started to flash rapidly and I managed to fix this by replacing the lithium batteries. The surround of the panel snaps off and there are 8 small screws. Inside are 2 18650 LiOn batteries which aren't soldered in and are easily replaced.

Great quality lights Verified Purchase
Have these in my kitchen charged via usb, they are much brighter than any other solar lights I have used. Great quality, and good you can replace the bulbs and buy an extension. Only minor criticism is that the black cable isn't very attractive, it would be great if you could get a white/clear version which would blend in with the decor better!

Superb lights Verified Purchase
Initially I bought the Edinburgh festoon lights which were perfectly good however I was drawn to the Falmouth lights because the bulbs can easily be replaced and I could extend the lights together if purchasing more than one set which I was. It now looks like I'll need another 2 sets to extend them even further round the garden. Love how they also come with a couple of spare bulbs. Items were well packaged and delivery was swift

Highlight of my patio.. Verified Purchase
These are a great quality product with real glass bulbs and on a decent length cable (8m). Don't be put off by being solar powered, they have a good light with 3 levels of brightness from 'low and cosy' to 'who's drinking my wine'. Easy to recommend and the box includes 2 spare bulbs just incase... (beware of the Penyata stick)

Excellent Verified Purchase
I've generally been sceptical about solar powered lights....however I convinced myself from these reviews. And I have to say that my doubts were unfounded here - what a great set of lights. Arrived quickly and beautifully packed (thank you), with spares as well. Pretty bright on full power, a nice ambiance on lower power. Look fantastic. Absolutely 5* recommendation from me, superb quality and great value for money..

Lights are lovely. Give a really good amount of light and easy to use

Very good Verified Purchase
I have been impressed with these - I set them up in January when every day is fairly dreary, but still they managed to soak up enough sun to start lighting up in the evening. Still going strong by the time I go to bed! One of the bulbs broke in the very strong winds we had recently, so I was grateful that it came with a couple of spare bulbs. They also look very nice. If there was one thing I could improve it would be the plastic connectors that connect the bulb to the wire - it's the one thing aesthetically that let's it down from otherwise looking like a very high end product.

Impressive Verified Purchase
I bought these having previously bought lots of other solar garden lights and paying a lot of money for replacement batteries or throwing them out because the wires have broken or they have water damage in the battery compartment. Every one of the above problems have been overcome by buying these. We love them. They are lit up all night and I can charge by USB to top up the battery. They look fantastic on my patio balustrade. The bulbs are quite fragile so they need to be secured well when placing them. Customer service is prompt, efficient and customer focussed. I will be replacing my fairy lights with a set from Solar Centre USB/Solar range. Thankyou very much Solar Centre staff.

So bright Verified Purchase
I bought these in December and have hung them on a fence. They are really bright and that's them on the lowest setting. They look brilliant. I have now purchased 3 sets of fairy lights, large sphere plus these. I will definitely be ordering more. Great service from solar centre, super quick delivery and quality excellent.

Good buy Verified Purchase
Bulbs arrived well packaged. Mode switch useful and easy to use. The hook on the bulbs is a great idea and they were easy to hang up. I agree with other comments that the cable for charging should be longer. Look so pretty

Impressive! Verified Purchase
Bought on recommendation and I am really happy! They are very bright and last a very long time, may have to use the dimmer setting as they cast too much light past midnight! One of my spare bulbs was broken but apart from that very pleased!

Perfect Verified Purchase
These lights are perfect!! Exactly what I wanted. They look classy, easy to erect, really bright but lovely warm light. Picture on website doesn't do them justice! If I had a bigger garden would definitely buy more!

So great, I bought more! Verified Purchase
Love these Falmouth festoon lights! After having one set for 6 months I just got 2 more, and joined them all up. All 3 sets work off the one solar panel, and they look so good! Stay lit all night and provide a perfect amount of light. The description says you can't connect more than one set, but it's wrong… you def can!

Lovely Lights Verified Purchase
Bought these for Christmas 2020, so are now 5 months old and no issues. Stay on all night and have not had to charge up, but not on brightest setting. They look lovely and seem to be well made. Very pleased.

Falmouth lights Verified Purchase
Bought first set last autumn and they have been great, needed USB charging in winter if we wanted them on longer but since the sunshine has arrived we have never needed to charge them. We liked them so much we ordered another set but had an issue with them which solar centre sorted (took a while due to stock issues, but they did sort it). That said, I would still buy these lights again.

Prendergast Verified Purchase
I now have four sets of these lights abs absolutely love them. Such good quality, they come with spare bulbs and are easy to charge with the USB if needed. The only negative is the distance between the first bulb and the solar panel isn't great so I have had to purchase the extension leads at extra cost but apart from this they are great.

Great lights Verified Purchase
These are perfect for in my garden around my decking area. I've had them installed now for approx 3 weeks and after charging them using the usb before installing them, I havn't had to touch them once. They come on at dusk every night and are still lit if I look out at 3am. Perfect if you don't have electricity where you want the lights.

6 month review Verified Purchase
I bought these 6 months ago and put them up in autumn and they needed charging about every 5 days by USB to stay on all night, which I think is fair. Now the sun is out, they need no USB charging. At this 6 month point, 4 of the bulbs have gone and the box is supplied with 2 spare so I have 2 lights out. The nut which you screw into to hold the panel in place is loose and easily lost - I lost one in my artificial grass but this was replaced by the company. It really should be fixed on because it's annoying to hold it place every time you take the panel off to charge. But happy with them nevertheless, would be good if you could buy identical dimmable bulbs here.

Pleased Verified Purchase
The lights are very good, I like this company's solar lights and have ordered previously and always been pleased with brightness. BUT this time I ordered in Dec and believed they were in stock at the time, they arrived eventually in March...luckily it didn't matter.

Highly Recommend Verified Purchase
Second product purchase from this company and love these lights. My neighbours have been so impressed with them that they have now ordered too. Great quality and service. My garden is so pretty with these lights and also the lumify fairy ones too. What else can I go and buy ??

Nice lights but Verified Purchase
Nice lights, just what I expected. One of the spare bulbs was broken on arrival but I suspect that's due to the courier. Suzie from customer service was great and prompt in sending a replacement so all is good,

Brilliant Verified Purchase
These lights are fantastic. 3 levels of brightness. I have on the dimmest and they still light the garden up. Had an issue with one of the charging panels but this was rectified with a replacement being sent out. Very pleased with purchase and look forward to the summer nights in the garden.

Great Lights Verified Purchase
Excellent service as always. Product itself is fab, we used them for round the roof of the garden bar. Love the fact you can boost them via USB. only downside is you cannot connect another set as I would've loved them gorgeous our gazebo too but just too small
By Julie Bitters on Mar 18,2021

---

Pretty Lights Verified Purchase
These lights are very pretty. I like they fact that you can change the bulbs and that there is a hook on each fitting so that you can fix them really securely and stop them being damaged in the wind. The downside is that the charge doesn't last as long as Lumify lights. I recharged them fully using USB, but on dull days they only last 1 or 2 nights despite a large solar panel placed in a south facing position. My Lumify lights on the other hand have only needed one recharge so far this winter. Their smaller solar panel is positioned adjacent to my Festoon lights one.

Just brilliant! Verified Purchase
So good I ordered another set.
By Teresa Hill on Dec 14,2020

Fantastic Verified Purchase
These are really nice: the bulbs look expensive and heavy but are actually quite light, the light temperature is nice and warm and the ambient light sensor works great (just turn on at dusk and that's it). As other people already mentioned, the lead from the charging solar panel to the first bulb is relatively short, so make sure you plan for that. Other than that (and it is what it is, for some applications might be just perfect), I have nothing else to point out. The panel itself can be detached so you can bring it back in to charge via USB, but I just let it do its thing when we have sun. Oh, and it shipped really quick. Fantastic product, just go for it.

Traditional festive LED lights Verified Purchase
I purchased a couple of sets of the Falmouth Solar / USB LED lights to decorate the outside of a carport. Very impressed with the results so far. After initially charging the solar panel via the handy mini USB port for about 5 hours the internal indicator turned green indicating that a full charge had been achieved. This then gave three consecutive nights of illumination. When the battery charge gets too low, I have noticed that the LED lamps tend to rapidly flicker, but you can always turn them off via a switch on the rear of the solar panel. There is also another pushbutton switch which allows you to select three different brightness settings (the medium setting gives a pleasant warm white light appearance). Would recommend if you are after a more traditional string of LED lights.

Look the business Verified Purchase
Bought these lights as Xmas present so not been used as yet so my 5 star rating is based on numerous purchases from solar centre I have already made every one being excellent,so no doubt these will be equally as good. Great light,Great company.
By Peter Wood on Dec 7,2020

Beautiful Verified Purchase
Very happy with my purchase. The lights are beautiful and the option of usb charging of solar panel is awesome and really a necessity in Scottish winter. I recharge it by usb every 4 th day and leave lights on second setting to prolong the light - up period. Have them on every night for about 5-6 hours. Love the look of them and the price in sale too.
By Renata on Dec 2,2020

Lovely and bright Verified Purchase
These lights are lovely only down side very short lead so will have to buy an extension lead so the panel is in the sun. You can also charge the panel from a usb port in case of cloudy days a great idea
By Lynda on Nov 18,2020

Beautiful lights Verified Purchase
These lights have been worth waiting for. We unplug the set and charge every day using USB lead. It takes approximately 6 hours to fully charge. Red light turns green to let you know. The lights come on at dusk and stay on all night. Hope they last throughout the winter and the heavy rain.
By Elaine McManus on Oct 17,2020

Great First Impression Verified Purchase
So far so good. Far better quality than other lights I've purchased. Well worth the two months I had to wait to get them. Provide lots of light even on the dimmest setting. Hopefully they will stand-up to the winter months.

Good first impression! Verified Purchase
I've bought cheap festoon lights before, which only lasted one winter and are still lurking in a corner of my flat, as I hate throwing out unrecyclable electricals. (My bad for going cheap, I know). I have much more confidence in this set. The look and feel is very different - heavier, better quality materials, fittings and buttons etc. I won't know until a winter comes and goes whether or not they can handle the weather, but based on the promises made and the feel of the lights, I've more confidence they will. The 12 month guarantee is appreciated, although 2 years would show a more meaningful commitment to weather-proofness by allowing at least one winter pass. Can't fault them so far, but the proof with lights like these is in the weathering, and the customer service if/when they go wrong.

Mostly happy Verified Purchase
Overall lights are great but a longer cable between 1st bulb and solar panel would have been better.
By Penny baillie on Oct 11,2020

Very impressed Verified Purchase
These are amazing. Very happy that I purchased these. Far better quality than any other solar lights that I have previously purchased. Charged them with a usb cable as instructed, rather than using the solar panel provided. Delighted With them.

Falmouth Festoon Lights Verified Purchase
Very pleased with this set of lights. Good quality and very quick delivery. Impressed that they came with a couple of spare bulbs. They provide just the right amount of light in our courtyard garden making sitting out in the evening so much nicer. Very easy to install as well.

Great festoon lights Verified Purchase
Got these lights last week and they look absolutely stunning. When I bought the lights I thought they were going to be bigger, but they are the size of a golf ball. Saying that, when we put them up they looked lovely! I charged them fully with a usb cable first and they have come on every night since, even after cloudy days. Nice that you can adjust the brightness as well. They are of very good quality. The only thing I would change is the length of the cable going to the solar panel, but I would really recommend them.

Falmouth Festoon Lights Verified Purchase
I placed my order after reading about how the company works & the importance they give to making quality products. I have over the years bought many a set of solar lights from garden centers, only to find the next year I have to replace them. True to their word, my lights arrived within a couple of days of placing the order. The first thing I noticed is just how well made the overall product is and they are now installed and I have to say my wife and I sat out in the garden with a glass of wine just admiring the wonderful warm ambient glow of the lights.
By Michael Deakin on Jun 8,2020

Very pleased Verified Purchase
Lovely set of lights seems to be good quality and work very well given the sunny conditions we have had recently- I initially charged them with usb which is a nice option. I agree with very short cable between lights and solar panel but this was fine for me as have attached it to fence which gets lots of sun. My only real issue was that the clips are on one side and dont seem to be adjustable and if the panel is on the correct side then they clip easily but if you need the panel on the other side then The wire has to loop around the clips which looks a little odd! Overall though I am very happy - they give as much lights as mains set. Hope the glass bulbs last in windy conditions

Falmouth festoon lights Verified Purchase
Received my lights today very pleased with how bright they are for solar look good quality hope they can stand quite windy times where we live I'm giving them a 4 star rating because the solar panel is so close to the lights that you have to fit the panel exactly where the lights start having looked at the website there doesn't seem to be an extension for them maybe it's because they are new I don't know could do with a bit of length from the solar panel to the lights overall hoping there great 👍
