Need to know 200 lights, 20m long (2m to the first light, then 20m), claimed battery life of 8-12 hours in the summer and 3-10 hours in the winter, eight light settings, white light. Our third generation of solar fairy lights, these with USB and 300 Warm white LEDs has now arrived. The Solar Centre was the first company to bring solar fairy lights to the UK solar lights market. Powersaving mode is for those that don�t have a great solar panel location available and aren�t able to USB charge. Lumify�s advanced Powersaving mode reduces brightness slightly which doubles the runtime of the lights.

Lumify has 8 lighting modes including all sorts of flashing and alternating sequences as well as steady on where all lights stay on all the time with no flashing. Steady on is by far the most popular mode among our own customers so we have made this mode the first mode and the default mode on Lumify. Once you have selected your favourite mode Lumify will remember that setting and light up in that mode automatically each night. Lumify have been designed to be used outdoors where they will withstand everything the British weather can throw at them, but that doesn't mean you can't use them indoors too! Simply remove the battery, disconnect the solar panel and plug them in to a USB charging source where they can operate indoors like normal mains powered lights. We added these fairy lights to our test in 2022 and they survived one of the coldest winters in recent years in our test garden.

The Solar Centre was the first company to bring solar string lights to the UK market. Lumify is our third generation solar string light product and by far the best. We have learnt a lot from our customers since we started designing solar lights ten years ago and all that knowledge and experience has been poured into the Lumify design making them by far the most advanced solar festoon lighting product we have ever launched. Subsequently, they've also survived three years attached to a garden fence, in all weathers. After all of this, the lights still work and there are no visible signs of damage. Years of selling and designing solar lights have taught us that solar lights with separate solar panels always perform better. Lumify is a 3 piece system consisting of the solar panel, control tube and light string. The solar panel is connected to control tube by a 2m cable and there is 2m of cable between the control tube and the first LED bulb on the light string. This means that you can get your solar panel in a great location (the higher up the better) but still have your control tube within easy reach.

PowerBee says this larger solar panel means the lights should stay on for longer, and that they'll work over winter, which not many solar lights claim. We've found this to be spot on. These lights have been shining brightly around a tree in our test garden for three years now; they're often still shining brightly in the early hours of the morning (6am), even in the depths of winter. Need to know 20 lights, 14.4m long (1.9m to the first light, then 14.4m, with bulbs spaced at 80cm), USB chargeable as well as charging from the sun, claimed battery life of 12 nights from a full USB charge, eight light settings, warm white light. Water ingress is one of the main reasons solar lights fail. Lumify uses an innovative new tube design which guarantees unrivalled waterproofing. The battery compartment, power switch, mode switch and USB charging port are all protected under an o-ring sealed screw cap which offers bottle-tight waterproofing. Both the solar panel and LED string are connected into the base of the tube using o-ring sealed valve connectors so there are no weak points. Powersaving mode is for those that don't have a great solar panel location available and aren't able to USB charge. Lumify's advanced Powersaving mode reduces brightness slightly which doubles the runtime of the lights.You also have the option to charge the lights with a USB charger, if you want to top them up during the darker months. They've also survived every other durability test we've thrown at them, including sharp tugs of the wires, a deep freeze at -16°C, repeated soakings and lots of bashing against a fence post. Lumify have been designed to be used outdoors where they will withstand everything the British weather can throw at them, but that doesn�t mean you can�t use them indoors too! Simply remove the battery, disconnect the solar panel and plug them in to a USB charging source where they can operate indoors like normal mains powered lights.
