ALEXPEX AL-SL-G40-35FT-15 Solar String Lights, 35 ft, 17 G40 Bulbs, Remote

Some outdoor lighting setups rely on a nearby outlet, these solar string lights offer a flexible way to add illumination without fixed wiring. The 35-foot strand has 17 shatterproof G40 Edison-style LED bulbs. Their 2200K warm-white glow brings a soft, vintage feel to patios, gardens and outdoor gatherings. Solar and Type-C charging give you two ways to power the lights.

Key takeaways

The warm 2200K colour temperature suits relaxed evenings and decorative settings, from a balcony dinner to a birthday gathering. With 17 bulbs spaced along a 35-foot string, the lights can add a continuous accent above a patio, along a fence or around a pergola. The plastic bulbs are designed to resist shattering, and the string and bulbs have an IP65 waterproof rating for outdoor use.

A remote lets you adjust brightness, select lighting modes and set a 2-, 4-, 6- or 8-hour timer. Controls are also available on the solar panel. A memory function returns to the previous mode and brightness, while the dusk-to-dawn sensor can switch the lights on at dusk and off at dawn. The panel’s battery-level display helps you keep track of charging status.

Getting the most from it

Choose a route for the string that suits the space, such as across a seating area or along a garden boundary, then position the solar panel where it can receive direct sunlight. The panel can also be charged through its Type-C port: a full charge takes 6 hours by Type-C or 8 hours in direct sunlight. After a full charge, the lights provide 8–10 hours of steady illumination.

For a set evening schedule, select one of the timer options with the remote. For hands-off operation, use the dusk-to-dawn sensor. The adjustable brightness and lighting modes let you tailor the look for a quiet evening or a gathering, while the memory function keeps your last chosen settings ready for the next use.

Practical tips

Plan the hanging route before securing the strand so the bulbs are positioned where you want the light. The included installation accessories are listed as a solar panel with stake and clip, hooks, cable ties and screws. This gives you several ways to arrange the setup around a patio, gazebo, fence or tent, place the panel separately in a sunny spot to support solar charging.

The solar and Type-C charging options are useful when sunlight varies or you want another way to recharge. For an outdoor event, set the brightness and timer in advance, for regular evening lighting, the automatic sensor can manage switching at dusk and dawn. The 24-month limited warranty covers defects or malfunctions under normal use.
