Outdoor Solar RGB LED Light Strip, 16.4 ft (5 m) IP65

Color for the patio and garden that lights itself and charges by day.

This 16.4-foot (5-meter) RGB LED strip runs entirely on solar power, so there's no wiring or outlet to deal with. It turns on at dusk and switches off at dawn to recharge on its own. The 150 high-efficiency 2835 LED chips (24-26 lm per LED) put out bright, even RGB color, with 8 modes to choose from including steady-on and flashing patterns.

Why we picked it

• Runs on sunlight - No electricity cost or external batteries; the panel charges the built-in battery by day.
• Fits your space - The 16.4 ft (5 m) strip cuts at marked points for railings, fences, eaves, or borders, and a ground spike and rod mount the panel.
• Eight modes - RGB color and 8 lighting effects, from soft ambient light to lively decorative patterns.
