I added this set of solar lights to another order to see what the circuitry inside was like. I also wanted to see if the solar panel shown on the listing was remotely like the one sent. It is, and has a surprisingly high output.
A very nice feature of this set is the use of the increasingly common “copper wire” LED strings. These are made of two enamelled copper wires with surface mount LEDs soldered across them at regular intervals and then dipped in resin to protect the LEDs with a drip of tough and waterproof resin. They seem to be much more waterproof than the usual heatshrink sleeved LED strings that rust inside quite quickly.
