So...how about LED fairy lights around the pond?

[Terra Zen]

This may be a little odd, but I saw some pictures of ponds with fairy lights around the rock work and pond and I'm convinced that I just may need these little twinklers in my life.
Does anyone have them, do they last awhile, and do you love them?

I think you do what makes your heart happy. I've seen pictures of people who have their entire pond done with disco colored lights, all reds and greens and blues. It's not my cup of tea but then again I'm sure that person doesn't like my minimal solar lights. Ha
I love twinkly lights that showcase a pond so run with it!!

I've seen the disco colored lights too, but these will just be the teeny warm white ones. My fiance wants to get the whimsical solar lights for around the rock garden bed too.

Yeah, we're a little interesting!

I think they'd be cute! Take pictures for us!

The old bubble Christmas lights would be cool. Bubbles and water are like peanut butter and jelly . Been a long day

 

[tbendl]

Haha that's what I have!

That sounds like something @callingcolleen1 might know about.

why not if u like them try it , i have solar lights they are like Olympic torch , i was thinking small led lights which can change colour as u wish but i havent decided yet they may not look very decent but good for kids, may b ur talking about that too ? i think it will depend how u can b creative with that , that it looks neat decent , last time i gave them to my 8yo neice in gift that gave me idea

I've had a string of solar fairy lights around my gazebo for at least 3 years, had to replace the battery once. They're solar so they cost nothing to run. I JUST got a set of the rope lights, haven't even hung em up yet.

@peter hillman, when you get them hung, post a pic. They look interesting.

On second thought, I went ahead and ordered a set from Amazon just now. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0722QGWTT/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I'm going to put them on the arbor we have leading into our garden room.

So, I ordered a st of solar fairy lights from amazon and they came today! (Sunday? They deliver on SUNDAY!!) I'll put them out when we get the rocks arranged right. I also bought some glow in the dark rocks to mess with my kids minds. "What glowing rocks? You guys need to stop. You must be tired, go to bed"
Heh heh. Why have kids if ya can't torture them a bit?

Those are exactly the ones I got!! Solar will be a challenge, we're very shaded, but the cord seems pretty long, so I may be able to pull this off pretty well!
I'll definitely need to see pictures of yours when you hang them! What a gorgeous area!

That whole area gets the Southern Sun, so it should be a winner for me. I'll post pics when I get them set up.

My old set has a tiny collector, the newer set is twice the size. You probably need 4hrs of sun to run them.
