Do these have to stay plugged into the solar panel to work? Needing a string of lights to attach to a shirt for a nighttime road race.

they do stay plugged into a solar panel that is included but it is small enough to fit in a pocket

I have not had to use them as of yet. If you are using them as lights in a dark area or tent - you should probably have spare batteries around.

MIne worked the first 4 nights, but now they will not light. I though it may have been that we had a couple cloudy days, but after 2 full sun days, still nothing. I reread the insert, and it says to cover the panel for a day or two???? I am trying that now. I should know either tonight or tomorrow night if it works. Too bad if they don't....they were pretty.

Yes, at my place they do appear to stay on all night but never stayed up the entirety of the night to really check. One year roughly now on the current batteries and still going. They appear easy to replace. I believe there is a switch in the back to turn them off if I recall correctly. It provides nice accent or local lighting but don't expect it to light up the entire yard like a spot light.

Mine are hooked up to outside lighting with CFL bulbs. Doesn't seem to make any diiference.

Greetings Rocky: We use these to light our flag at night. Thay are usually still bright enought to do the job at 2 am about 5 to 7 hours, after that I'm not sure. Our bigest issue with these lights is there is no built in means of attaching them to a surface.

You can't string them together, but as long as you space them to be able to reach the on/off switch, you really don't need to. They are solar powered so no plug in required.

Do you mean when you shut off the vehicle will the lights stay on? If so, you can connect these straight to the battery with a fuse, and they will. Or do you mean can you use these with a light controller and put these in a steady burn configuration? If so, then no, not without extensive modification.

No. They stay on all the time, but use very little energy. Very soft light, very pleasant.

No. You have to hook them up to a switch or run them off another power source.

Hi. Nope. They stay on, but during the day, you can barley notice them.. And they use almost no electricty either, which is good

These should run fine on a battery, but I cannot recall what the power connector is on the light. Ours are all installed on a studio ceiling grid along with their individual power supplies.

No, unfortunately they have to be plugged in. But the make good for studio lighting!

The solar lights are not attached to any wires. They stand alone with own individual panels and that allows you to place them however you wish.

yes just night.... they have been up for over 6 months or so and they have been working fine. They throw off a significant amount of light. There are ways to keep them on all night or as long as you might need them when dark. Just involves flipping the switch off for 3 seconds.

Nope they stay on the whole time the button is on. As long as your connections are solid and right you should have no issues. But I also have soldered my connections with my harness. Love the lights

A power source to run these? Of course not. These run off of Fairy Dust, and luckily they are pre-loaded with a lifetime supply so the lights never turn off. Who needs electricity to run lights?
