Outdoor string lights are the easiest way to turn a plain patio or backyard into somewhere worth staying. Our Solar Festoon Bulb String Lights run entirely on solar power, so there is no wiring, no electrician, and no extension cord to run across the yard. A full day in the sun gives you up to 14 to 16 hours of warm, 2700K light after dark, held by a long-life LiFePO4 battery that keeps performing season after season.
Every set is interconnectable, so you can link multiple runs together and light a longer stretch of fence, pergola, or deck from a single solar panel. The bulbs are shatterproof and the build is rated IP65 waterproof, made for real outdoor conditions rather than a fair-weather evening.
Hang them along a pergola, drape them across a patio, or run them the length of a backyard fence. Set the dusk-to-dawn sensor once and the lights take care of themselves every night after. For the full walkthrough, see our guide on how to hang string lights, and if you are weighing battery life, are solar string lights any good covers the real numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are outdoor string lights?
Outdoor string lights are a run of evenly spaced bulbs on a single cable, designed to hang across a patio, pergola, or backyard fence for warm, ambient light. Litehouse outdoor string lights use warm white 2700K LED bulbs and run entirely on solar power, so there is no wiring or electrician required.
Are solar string lights any good?
Yes, when the battery is right. Litehouse solar string lights use a long-life LiFePO4 battery that holds up to 14 to 16 hours of light after a full day of sun, so they perform night after night rather than fading after a season. A USB-C backup covers cloudy days.
How long do solar string lights last?
On a full charge, Litehouse solar string lights run for up to 14 to 16 hours after dark. The LiFePO4 battery and IP65 waterproof build are designed to hold that performance for years, not just a single season.
Can I connect multiple sets of string lights together?
Yes. The design is interconnectable, so you can link multiple sets end to end for up to 100 ft (30 m) of light from a single solar panel, useful for lighting a longer fence line or a bigger patio.
