Four Lighting Scenes
The included remote provides access to four lighting effects:
-
Static
-
Breathing
-
Flashing
-
Automatic color changing
Static mode maintains the selected color, while the animated modes introduce gradual or flashing effects for parties and seasonal displays.
Dimmable Remote-Controlled Lighting
Adjust colors, effects, and brightness with the included remote control. Dimming allows the lights to provide subtle ambient illumination for quiet evenings or a brighter presentation for gatherings and events.
Remote-control range and response may vary depending on distance, battery condition, and physical obstructions. Aim the remote toward the receiver for more reliable operation.
Solar and USB Charging
The integrated rechargeable battery can be charged in two ways:
-
Solar charging for everyday outdoor operation
-
USB charging when sunlight is limited or a faster supplemental charge is needed
USB charging provides additional flexibility during cloudy weather, shorter winter days, or before a planned event. Disconnect and seal the USB charging port before exposing the unit to outdoor conditions.
Up to 8–10 Hours of Illumination
A full battery charge can provide approximately 8–10 hours of lighting under favorable conditions. Actual operating time depends on:
-
Sunlight intensity
-
Charging duration
-
Geographic location
-
Season and weather
-
Selected color
-
Lighting effect
-
Brightness level
-
Battery age and condition
For the best solar performance, place the panel where it receives the strongest available direct sunlight.
Flexible Solar-Panel Placement
The included ground stake and mounting clip provide two ways to position the solar panel:
-
Insert the stake into suitable soil
-
Attach the panel to a compatible edge or support with the clip
Angle the panel toward direct sunlight and avoid shade from roofs, trees, fencing, or nearby structures. The string lights may be arranged independently from the solar panel, allowing greater flexibility when decorating.
Temporary or Permanent Display
The 36-foot strand can be used for temporary parties and seasonal displays or installed as a more permanent outdoor accent.
Suitable locations include:
-
Patios
-
Pergolas
-
Fences
-
Decks
-
Gazebos
-
Tailgate tents
-
Outdoor dining areas
-
Garden seating areas
-
Holiday displays
-
Party spaces
Use mounting supports appropriate for the installation surface. Do not rely on the electrical cord itself to support the full weight of the strand.
IP65 Weather-Resistant Design
The IP65 rating indicates protection against dust and low-pressure water jets, making the lights suitable for normal outdoor exposure.
IP65 does not mean the lights are submersible. Do not immerse the bulbs, solar panel, controller, USB connection, or battery housing in water. Ensure all protective covers and connections are securely closed before outdoor use.

Why It Stands Out
This Westinghouse string-light set combines year-round warm-white illumination with vibrant colors and animated effects. Eight selectable colors, four lighting scenes, dimmable output, and remote operation make it adaptable for quiet patio evenings, holiday displays, and outdoor celebrations.
Dual solar and USB charging provides greater flexibility than a solar-only set, while the included stake and clip make it easier to position the panel for effective charging.
