How long do the lights in a string of lights last?
The LED lights themselves: LED lights in a string light typically last 10,000 to 25,000 hours. If you use the string every evening for 6 hours, it will last more than 4 years before the lights wear out.
The batteries (for battery-powered versions): This varies per model and the number of lights. General guideline:
- String light with 20 lights on 2x AA: approx. 80-150 hours
- String light with 40 lights on 3x AA: approx. 60-100 hours
Tips to make batteries last longer:
- Use the timer function: set to 6 or 8 hours per day
- Use quality batteries (Duracell, Energizer)
- Choose the solar version if the location gets enough sun
Solar version: No battery costs — after a full charge, the string lights for 6-8 hours.
