I get only about a couple of hrs of morning light in the area where the lights would go. Would it be enough to power the lights?

My lights worked fine with the solar panel facing south. However, the tiny wires inside just didn't last. Heartbreaking.

The string will recharge, but the time it will stay lit during dark hours varies by the amount of light received and the condition of the batteries (older won't hold as long a charge).

I don't advise buying these lights I had bought 3 sets about 2 months ago Only 1 set working now Cheaply made

I have these lights and I have them on my back porch which faces west. There are lots of trees and obstructed sun. My lights seem to work into the wee hours of the morning. My suggestion is to place the solar panel in a southerly direction to maximize its ability to collect light.

Depends on how tall the trees are.... I would look for a more powerful light

Not sure. If my panel gets sun all day in the summer, I've still seen the light on at 4:30 in the morning. It varies from day to day, depending on the time of year and clouds, etc. My panel isn't doing as well in the winter. The girls are in the dark by 2 AM.

That would depend entirely on your LED lights. Check to see if they are dimmable.

Yes make sure your supply wire is heavy enough 12 ga. Should do. These look like 27 watt lights times 4 eguals to 104 watts.

I would run anything above 5 fared, You are running 4600w a 3 is too low, Usually 1 fared is equivalent to 1000w aprox.and if your lights are still dimming, I would get a better efficient battery, I hope this is helpful.

As long as the running lights are powered up, this light should piggyback just fine. It's LED, so uses very little power, yet lights up very brightly.

No. The total output is 300watt/hour, so you will get just a little over an hour of run time.

It should give off a little bit more more light. I also replaced with clear and LED(?) lights and I think it helped. I wished I found one that came with 6-8 light bulbs for more lighting, but I needed one that is simple yet conservative/elegant, less frills... I'm still very happy with this purchase.

No. Although you get some light immediately, they take about 2 minutes to get to full brightness.

I think it depends on how much light you require. I use it in my bedroom and it is definitely not enough light to do my make up in the morning, I need a secondary light, but it is enough to read and watch TV in the evening.

I would check the amps you would be pushing through it. If those lights are all LED then you should be OK.

All the lights will lit up solid. You are probably using a wall adapter that is not powerful enough. Please use an USB adapter with a minimum of 1.5A to charge please.

I can not say for certainty and I would not want to lie. I am not awake before dawn. I only know the lights come on at dusk and are shining brightly (a "white" light, not a "warm" light) at 11 pm when I go to bed. I do believe it is important for the solar panel to be located in such a manner to receive as much direct sunlight/charge throughout the day to perform the best at night.

Technically, yes. But it doesn't actually draw more electricity than to illuminate the power light unless you're running a signal through it

if it works, it will be fine. light is not strong however because it is a cfl, not hot either.
