5w Solar Panel
How can I power LED light strings with a Solar Panel?

I’m interested in purchasing some LED icicle-style light strings to go around the house and was thinking it would be nice if they were solar powered to cut back even more on energy consumption. I’ve seen icicle-style LED strings with a regular a/c plug and single-strand LED lights attached to a small solar panel on a garden stake but no solar powered icicle-style LED strings. Is there an easy way to get both the Solar Power feature AND the style LEDs I want? The icicle-style LED strings draw about 5w each and I’m not sure how many I’ll need, probably 4-6 strings. Thanks!

Those LED lights use so little power, I’m afraid there is not much to be saved by powering them off solar. If solar was all you had, then it might be worth tinkering, but I’d say just plug them in to the wall, and if you’re not using them, turn them off.
