RJEDL Solar String Lights Outdoor Garden – 11M 60 Crystal Ball LEDs, Warm White, 8 Modes + Remote
Product description
What it is and what it’s for
RJEDL’s outdoor solar string lights are built for easy garden and patio styling, using a “crystal ball” globe look rather than flat ribbon or simple fairy strands. On paper, this is the kind of product you buy when you want instant atmosphere for events (or just evenings at home) without running cables around a gazebo, fence line, or seating area.
The warm white tone and the globe/ball effect are doing most of the visual work here. If you’ve ever looked at solar fairy lights and felt they can look a bit plain, the larger crystal ball style is meant to be a noticeable step up—though it still sits in the “decor lighting” category rather than proper outdoor architectural lighting.
Key points
If you want solar-powered decorative lighting with a remote and multiple effects, these lights cover that brief. There’s warm white glow, 8 lighting modes, and a timer with memory so you don’t have to keep resetting your preferred setting.
The length (11M/36ft) and the 60 LED count suggest you’re meant to decorate a decent stretch—think around a gazebo, along a patio pergola, or draped around outdoor seating. It’s designed for year-round outdoor use with an IP65 waterproof rating, so you’re not constantly worrying about light rain.
What stands out in everyday use
The control options are one of the more practical features. You can use the solar panel control and also a remote control (within 10 metres). That matters if the lights are up high or you don’t fancy walking back and forth to tweak brightness or change modes.
There’s also a timer and memory function. In practice, that’s the difference between “nice for the first night” and “actually convenient over weeks”. The timer options listed are 4H/6H/8H, and it automatically stores the last lighting mode without resetting.
A quick micro-scenario
Imagine you’ve set these around a gazebo for an evening meal. You choose a mode and timer once before guests arrive. Later, you can switch brightness or lighting mode with the remote from the seating area instead of reaching for the solar unit. When the timer ends, you shouldn’t lose your last preference.
Solar power, runtime and charging (where expectations should be realistic)
This product leans on a built-in 1200mAh battery. The charging and runtime claims are specific: it can be fully charged in about 4 hours of sunlight, and once fully charged it can run for 18–20 hours.
However, solar lighting performance depends quite a lot on your actual outdoor sun conditions (season, weather, and where the solar panel sits). So even if the numbers look promising, it’s worth expecting that real-world runtime can vary.
You’ve also got Type-C charging support. The entry says the Type-C charging station can fully charge in about 1.5 hours, which is useful if you need a faster turnaround before an event.

Pros and limitations to consider before buying
Pros
- Remote control plus solar panel control is genuinely practical.
- 8 modes with a timer and memory function means you can keep using the same setup.
- IP65 waterproof rating makes it better suited to typical UK outdoor conditions than “indoor only” decorative lights.
- Warm white and the crystal ball globe look are likely to stand out more than simpler solar fairy strands.
Limitations (worth knowing)
- It’s a decorative lighting product, not something that will replace proper outdoor lighting. If you need bright, functional illumination, this may feel more “soft glow” than “lights the whole area”.
- Solar charging depends heavily on sun exposure. In cloudy spells or if the panel is shaded, runtime could end up shorter than you’d like.
Where it fits best (and who should skip it)
It makes sense if you’re decorating a garden, gazebo, patio, yard, or pergola and you want an easy-to-manage solar setup with adjustable ambience.
It may not be the best match if you need consistent brightness every night regardless of weather, or if you’re expecting mains-like output. Also, if you’re very sensitive to remote control reliability at the outer edge of the stated 10 metres, you’ll want to plan where the lights and solar unit are positioned.
Care & maintenance
With IP65 waterproofing and ABS materials mentioned, the focus is more on simple outdoor upkeep than anything complicated. Keep the solar panel unobstructed so it can charge efficiently, and wipe the globe area if dust or pollen builds up—especially if you notice the glow looking dimmer after a stretch outdoors.
Mini FAQ
Is it really waterproof enough for rain and snow?
The listing states an IP65 waterproof rating, and claims it can withstand heavy rain and snow while continuing to illuminate normally.
How far can the remote control reach?
The remote control is stated to work within 10 metres.
Does it remember the last lighting mode?
Yes, it includes a memory function that stores the last lighting mode without resetting.
Can it be charged without sunlight?
The entry says it supports Type-C charging, so you can charge via a Type-C charging station as well as solar charging.
Final verdict
Worth considering if you want warm white decorative solar string lights for outdoor garden or gazebo styling, and you’ll actually use the remote, multiple modes, and timer/memory functions. It’s also a sensible pick if you need something with IP65 waterproofing and you prefer not to run mains cables.
Better avoided if you need strong, consistent brightness in all weather, or if your setup will leave the solar panel shaded most of the day—solar runtime can be hard to guarantee. If you’re mainly after ambience and festive atmosphere, these crystal ball globe lights are a clear, practical direction to take.
