Luci Solar String Lights + Detachable Power Hub: Detachable 44 ft Cord

Product Information

When using the solar panel the lights can be on but the solar panel doesn’t bring in a lot of power and the lights may be using up what power is being generated. You can see in the picture above that I have the base hanging by the string lanyard from the awning. I thought it might be hard to find a place for it but so far it’s been easy to hang with the lights and not a problem at all. There is also a USB charger on the end of the string of lights you can use to charge the battery. This takes around 6 hours to charge fully.

Second, they needed to be easy to hang up and to put away. Also, I wanted them to be rechargeable whether it was by solar or USB. In the picture below I’ve taken 3 photos to show the 3 light settings. Each photo was taken in the exact same place with the exact same settings. The brightest will illuminate up to 100 lumens which is bright enough to light up our entire RV or outdoor space when we use them outside.

Give a little light

The Luci Solar String Lights are so versatile and easy to use. I normally leave them on for about 5 hours every night and only need to charge them every 4th or 5th day. I haven’t needed to use the phone charging function but I did test it with a USB power output tester to make sure it was putting out enough power to charge a smartphone so I know it works. It’s nice to know it’s there in case of an emergency.

Luci has three main components that make her work: (1) a solar panel that captures photons from sunlight or incandescent light; (2) a rechargeable internal battery that stores her power; and (3) 10 LED bulbs that produce her light. One they had to be super durable, no flimsy wires like the kinds that are used for battery powered fairy lights. Yes and no.– despite her elegant appearance, most Luci can withstand extreme temperatures, wind, and rain. The String . Colour String and Core are only splash resistant. The lights will blink when the USB charger is being used. They will not illuminate when the Luci is being charged via the solar panel. No, the LED indicator lights only illuminate when the Luci is charging via USB. Can The Lights Be On And Charging At The Same Time?So I started searching for the best solar string lights for campers and RVers. I had a few requirements for the perfect string lights.

No, these string lights are LED lights and they do not get hot. Is There An Extension Cable Available For The Luci Solar String Lights?

What Other Lanterns Should You Consider?

The cable protects the delicate electrical wire making this solar string light very durable and perfect for hanging up and putting away over and over again. Luci delivers up to 65 lumens of light - which illuminates an area of about 10 square feet (1 square meter). There is a button on the side next to the power button you can press to light up the battery charge indicator which is 4 small led lights. It makes them perfect for camping or patio lighting but not great if you want permanent solar lights that will turn on automatically when it gets dark and turn off when it gets light. Can The Luci Solar String Lights Be Used In The Rain? When you open the app for the first time, simply follow the on-screen prompts to connect your Luci. If it isn’t your first time opening the app or if you want to connect another light there are two ways to connect your Luci. The first is to tap on the text below the MPOWERD ring (top center). This will expand the section where you can connect a new Luci by tapping “Add light”. This will then take you through a set of prompts to connect! The additional way to connect your Luci is to tap on the burger menu in the top left of the screen. From here you will tap the “My lights” section, and then tap the “Add light” button at the bottom of the screen. From here you will follow the prompts to connect.

Luci has 300-500 cycles of full charge, so the length of time she lasts depends on frequency of use. If you fully charge and fully discharge every single day, Luci lasts approximately 2 years. If used less frequently, she will last for many years. The battery is small and will only charge a smartphone about 50% depending on the size but it’s still a great feature to have in case you need a way to charge your phone and you don’t have access to any other power.As you can see the picture on the right is much brighter than the one on the left. The different light options are perfect for choosing the kind of lighting you want. No, the battery inside of the Luci base is not replaceable but it is Lithium-Ion which means it should last a very long time if it is fully recharged regularly and not allowed to be drained below 20%. Is The String Of Lights Detachable From The Base? Unwind: Unravel string lights to desired length and hang in chosen location using the two included clips located on the string Boasting 10 LED nodes with dual directional LEDs in each node (20 total LEDs) the Luci Solar String Lights help to create a warm, ambient light expanding across or around any space of your choosing. The enveloping light given off by Solar String Lights pairs well with our other Luci lights that have a localized brightness. At 18 feet long, the nylon-braided cord includes two uniquely-designed clips to make it easy to hang in any situation. Light Modes: base-unit LED on, String LED's on Low (15 Lumens), Medium (50 Lumens) and High (100 Lumens)
