You’ll be happy to hear that they also have a low energy consumption, operating at a rate of just 2 watts with low heat output to help conserve energy.
That gives you peace of mind on your energy bills whilst also being proud of the minimal environmental impact they have.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Durable so will last longer
- Low energy consumption
- Large cable with UK plug
- Light is not overpoweringly bright
- IP65 Waterproof level
Cons
- Handle with care
Features
Huge 48ft (14.6m) Cable
This gives you the flexibility to easily surround your canopy and also assists with hanging them up as the extra length makes it easy to wrap around the support beams on your gazebo.
UK Standard plug
Many on the market are made with EU/US plugs but this comes already with a UK plug.
Female end to allow extension
Great if the massive length already isn’t enough for you. This also allows you to reach your mains plug socket if isn’t close by as you can just attach the Brimax 3m extension lead.
Low energy consumption
Perfect for forgetting the worries of your energy bill as this will have minimal impact on your pocket.
Comforting warm white colour
We found this to be one of the best perks, it produced a wonderfully warm, relaxing glow around our canopy. It’s perfect for those romantic evenings with your loved one.
IP65 Waterproofing
Tested under water jets for 15 minutes during the manufacturing process makes it suitable for heavy rain. Ensure they aren’t submerged in water (unlikely if they’re hanging).
Weatherproof
A fantastic design to give you peace of mind if you happen to leave it out during bad weather.
They work in temperatures ranging from -20c to 40c, and I don’t think we will be experiencing weather even close to that in the UK any time soon.

The customisation on this really makes it one of the best lights available on the market.
It’s available in 3 power levels: 15W, 60W, 100W but 15W is plenty to light up your gazebo. Buying a more powerful set of lights would cause too much dazzle when sat too close to them.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Great customisation
- 16 Different colours of lighting
- Mount up high or on the floor
- UK plug
- 4 Different settings
- Tempered glass for strength
Cons
- None to worry about…
Features
16 Colours
With this wide range of colours, it makes it suitable for all seasons and it’s ideal for events like Halloween and Christmas.
UK plug
This comes with a UK plug already attached.
Waterproof
Tested against powerful jets, this one will be sure to survive through harsh weather conditions.
For a product to achieve this rating it needs to endure 100 litres of water being blasted at it for at least a duration of 3 minutes.
Versatile
Great for all environments, you can mount this on the wall should you wish, with ease. We simply had it placed on the ground and that worked perfectly for our needs.
Portable
We were able to move this around with ease, that’s a great benefit to standing lights as you don’t need to attach them to anything, unlike string lights that need to be hung around your gazebo.
Remote Control
A feature often missed out from gazebo lights, you don’t realise how handy it is until you need to change your lights.
We found this particularly useful for controlling the ambience at family BBQ’s towards the latter stages of the nights due to the dimmable options provided on the control.
It’s also great as you can easily turn it off from a distance.
Various Modes
4 different settings help you create the perfect lighting for your event.
Flash and Strobe are two different settings (although we found flash to be a little harsh on our eyes) that are great for spontaneous dances when the night is coming to an end.
The other two settings are fade and smooth, perfect if you want the colours to alternate gently throughout the night.
Safety
Reducing fire hazards is very important through the dry summer seasons.
Technology in this qualified aluminium case helps dissipate the heat into the surrounding air and helps prolong the life of the light whilst also reducing the risk of it overheating.
The glass is tempered so you don’t have to worry about dropping things on it accidentally.
Low Energy Rating
A+ rating for energy consumption, keeping the bills low!

When we first ordered this product we thought it wouldn’t live up to the hype as solar-powered lights tend to barely be able to light up a cupboard but this was definitely not the case here.
They provided a beautiful, calm ambience that twinkled through the night. That’s because there are two settings available, “steady” and “twinkling”.
Another fantastic benefit to these is that once you’ve placed them wherever you want, you never have to think about them again.
They are completely automatic, they get power straight from sunlight and then automatically turn on when it’s dusk.
Just make sure you turn them on before you let them start charging as this can damage the battery.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Can be left hung up
- Solar powered so self-sufficient
- Sensible price
- Water-resistant
Cons
- Lights are very small
Features
Automatic
This stood out most for us, the lights come on at the perfect time and you never have to go and manually turn them on.
Modes
The twinkle effect looks amazing and it really provides a relaxing ambience for your guests, it really did make the night quite magical.
Water-resistant
Essential for these lights as they are supposed to be left outside all the time so they can charge.
Copper Wires
This was both beneficial and a potential disaster, yes they allow for a lot of flexibility and they are easy to shape however you like. But, and it’s a big but, they felt like they were easy to snap.
We checked if anyone else had noticed this problem and a few customers had already snapped their wires accidentally.
