No Outlet. No Wiring. 50 Feet of Warm Light.
A flexible weatherproof rope light that charges from the sun, brings itself up as the garden goes dark, and runs ten to fourteen hours on a good day’s charge. Cut it to the length of your deck, stick it down, and leave it.

One run. The whole deck edge.
Fifty feet is enough to trace a deck perimeter and carry on down the steps, which is the difference between a few spots of light and a garden that reads as lit.
It runs itself, and it charges itself
Most outdoor lighting means either a cable back to the house or a set of stakes you re-charge by hand. This is one panel in the sun and one long run of light that decides for itself when to come on.
It turns itself on, every night
There is no switch to remember and no timer to programme. The panel reads the light level, brings the strip up as the garden goes dark, and shuts it off again at dawn. A full day of sun gives you ten to fourteen hours, which is longer than anyone is awake to watch it.
Sun for free, cable for a hurry
Six to eight hours facing the sky is a full charge and it costs nothing. When a run of grey days catches you out, the USB-C port on the panel fills it directly, so a dull week does not mean a dark garden.
Cut it to the run you actually have
Marked for cutting roughly every 1.6 ft, so a 50 ft reel becomes exactly the length of your deck edge instead of a loop of slack tucked behind a planter. The offcut does not light again, so measure before you cut.
Eight modes, four brightnesses
Steady warm white for a dinner outside, a slow fade or a soft twinkle when you want the garden to move a little, and four brightness steps so it is not glaring through the bedroom window. Three timer settings on the same remote.
Edges, steps and the bits people trip on
A deck edge, a step nose, the line of a path — the places you want lit are almost always long and thin, which is exactly what a 50 ft run is for. Flexible enough to follow a curve, and bright enough that the step reads as a step.
- 50 ft covers a typical deck perimeter and its steps
- Bends around corners without a joint or a connector
- Self-adhesive backing, plus screw buckles for a firmer hold
- Comes on by itself as the light goes, every evening
Measure once, cut, stick it down
No electrician, no outdoor socket, no channel to dig. Push the stake into a bed that gets sun, run the strip where you want the light, and trim the leftover at a cut mark. The panel takes a 6.5 ft lead, so it does not have to sit next to the strip.
- Cut marks roughly every 1.6 ft along the run
- No mains wiring and nothing to plug in
- Ground stake or wall bracket, both in the box
- Cut ends are no longer sealed — keep the offcut end out of standing water
Point the remote at the panel, not the strip
The receiver lives in the solar panel head, which is the one thing people get wrong on the first evening. Aim there and you get all eight modes, the four brightness steps and the timers from wherever you are standing.
- Eight modes: steady, wave, sequential, slow glow, chase, fade, twinkle, flash
- Four brightness levels, so it suits a patio or a whole garden
- Three timer settings if you would rather it went off at midnight
- Setting is remembered — it comes back the same tomorrow night
Staked, stuck and running the same evening
Stake the panel where the sun lands
Push the spike into a bed or screw the bracket to a fence that gets a good part of the day. The lead between panel and strip is about 6.5 ft, so the panel can sit in the sun while the strip runs somewhere shaded.
Run the strip and trim the slack
Peel the backing and press it along the deck edge, step or railing, adding a screw buckle anywhere it needs holding. Cut at the nearest mark once you reach the end of the run you actually wanted.
Leave it alone
Give it a day in the sun and it starts working that evening on its own. Use the remote only when you want a different mode, a lower brightness, or a timer.
Pick your pack
Each pack is a complete kit — its own 50 ft strip, its own panel and its own remote — so a 2 Pack lights two places that are nowhere near each other, rather than making one longer run. Two is where most people land, and it is also where shipping stops costing anything.
Thirty days, and we pay attention to the reason
Put it up, live with it for a few evenings and see whether 50 ft actually covers what you had in mind. If it does not, send it back within 30 days. The one thing we cannot take back is a strip that has already been cut, so measure the run before you reach for the scissors.
30-day returns
Unused and uncut, back within 30 days.
Built to stay outside
Sealed silicone strip and a panel made for permanent outdoor mounting.
Free over $50
US shipping is $8.95 flat, or nothing at all once you pass $50.
Before you order
Two separate runs. Each pack is a complete kit — its own 50 ft strip, its own solar panel and its own remote — so a 2 Pack lights two places that are nowhere near each other, like the deck and the front path. They are not designed to be joined end to end into one 100 ft length, so if you need a single continuous run longer than 50 ft, buying two will not give you that.
Ten to fourteen hours from a full charge, which in practice means it is still going when you get up. That is at a moderate brightness in steady mode; the higher brightness levels and the moving modes draw more, and a short winter day will not fully charge it, so expect less in midwinter than in July.
No. The solar panel is the only power source it needs, and there is nothing to plug in and no cable to run back to the house. The USB-C port on the panel is a backup for a spell of grey weather, not a requirement.
Yes, at the marked points, roughly every 1.6 ft. Two things to know before you do: the piece you cut off will not light again, and the factory seal at that end is gone once you have cut through it, so it is worth keeping the cut end up out of anywhere water pools.
It is built to stay outside all year — the strip is sealed in silicone and the panel is made for permanent outdoor mounting. Ordinary rain, damp and frost are what it is designed for. Deliberately submerging it, or leaving a cut end sitting in a puddle, is not.
Almost always because it is being aimed at the strip. The receiver is in the solar panel head, so point it at the panel. If it still does not respond, the battery tab on a new remote sometimes needs pulling out first.
Warm white — the yellow-toned light in the photographs, closer to an old filament bulb than to a security floodlight. It is meant to make a patio feel like somewhere you would sit, not to light a car park.
Flat $8.95 within the US, and free once your order goes over $50 — so the 2 Pack and the 4 Pack both ship free, and the single 50 ft run does not quite reach it. Returns are 30 days either way.
Light the garden without digging a trench
Fifty feet of warm white, a panel in the sun, and nothing to plug in.
