Let’s be honest: most solar string lights are crap, with misleading prices (RRP A bazillion pounds! Now just £3.74!) and the kind of build quality pound shops would laugh at. SolarCentre lights aren’t like that. The company’s products are solidly made, designed for the British weather and, as here, often include genuinely useful features such as fast USB charging for when there simply hasn’t been enough sunshine and a power saving mode that dims the lights slightly to make them last a lot longer. The solar panel is much bigger than most – that’s a good thing – and all the connections are waterproof. The version we’re picking here is the 100 bulb, 10m model, but you can get up to 300 bulbs on a 30m cable. Make sure you choose the right LED: normal white LEDs are cool in colour like the ones in car headlights, while warm white has a more yellow tint that makes it look closer to incandescent lighting.
