You can see in the picture above that I have the base hanging by the string lanyard from the awning. I thought it might be hard to find a place for it but so far it’s been easy to hang with the lights and not a problem at all. The USB end of the Luci Solar String Lights has a side with metal tabs on it and one side that is just plastic. Make sure the metal tab side is the one that is facing up when you insert it into a USB outlet. When Luci is set on Bright (lowest light setting) she provides light for up to 12 hours after a full charge.

For further technical details on Luci, please read the user manual: https://www.mpowerd.com/luci-user-manual I haven’t needed to use the phone charging function but I did test it with a USB power output tester to make sure it was putting out enough power to charge a smartphone so I know it works. It’s nice to know it’s there in case of an emergency. The lights can be left to recharge in situ via the high-efficiency solar panel hub or topped up from any USB power source. The Luci solar powered lights have 4 light modes and last up to 20 hours on low setting. When charging the 4 small LED indicator lights on the top of the base near the solar panel will start blinking in sequence. When all 4 stay continuously lit the battery in the Luci Solar String Lights is now fully charged. Do The Luci Solar String Lights Get Hot? The base is super easy to twist open and wrap the lights up in. I’ve read that some people have problems getting the string wrapped up just right to close the base but so far I haven’t had issues with it.When not in use, Luci holds a full charge for about three months. After that, she retains up to 50% of her charge for two years. I’ve used different kinds of battery powered string lights before but for the most part, they haven’t been durable enough to withstand more than a month of regular use, and they’ve been difficult to hang up and move from indoors to outdoors.

As you can see the picture on the right is much brighter than the one on the left. The different light options are perfect for choosing the kind of lighting you want. Luci’s solar panels charge when facing sunlight or incandescent light. In direct sunlight, Luci will fully charge in 8 hours. She will charge even when it’s cloudy outside, but it will take longer. To charge Luci in incandescent light, place the solar panel close to the light bulb – but not so close that it becomes hot. It will take longer than 8 hours to charge under incandescent light. MPOWERD's Luci Solar String Lights and Mobile Charger is a very adaptable solar powered lighting system with the added bonus of being able to charge other devices.

The battery is of high quality and lightweight. And they can be used indoors or outdoors easily. I recommend these lights to any camper or lover of string lights. The Bad: The lights are a tight fit into their storage area, the closure mechanism on the storage area is tough to do and WILL be a failure point - just a matter of time and dirt. When stored you can't see if the lights are on = can be draining battery without knowing it. The base has a small solar panel on it as well as a battery power display, an LED light, and a USB outlet you can use to charge your phone. There is also a string lanyard you can use to hang the base to keep it out of the way. One they had to be super durable, no flimsy wires like the kinds that are used for battery powered fairy lights.
