Our family likes to be outdoors. When it gets dark while camping or just outdoors, lighting becomes very important. In addition to just providing lights to see by, strings of light can add to the fun. Lately portable electric lights can be great, but often need a power supply of some type. Now you can light up the night where ever you go with the OGERY Solar Camping String Lights.
What Are the OGERY Solar Camping String Lights?
The OGERY Solar Camping String Lights comes with the following:
- 1 camping light with retractable string of lights.
- 1 USB-C charging cord
- 1 user manual
The OGERY Solar Camping String Lights features a retractable 49.2 ft string of LED lights with four different lighting modes. It also has an LED flashlight as well as a camp light. In order to power all of these lights, the device features a 5400 mAh rechargeable battery. You can also use it as a power bank and charge your portable devices using the USB-A and USB-C outlets. To keep the battery charged, the light uses a solar panel to charge during the day so you can enjoy lighting during the night.
The lights are easy to operate. On the top of the device are two buttons. Pressing the red button activates the string lights. Continue pressing to cycle through the four modes–white, colored flashing, breathing white, and breathing colored. To use the string lights, just pull them out from the built in spool. When you want to wind them up, pull out the knob on the top of the device and use it to turn the spool to retract the lights. The blue button turns on the lights on the bottom of the device. There are eight modes–white flashlight high, white flashlight low, white camping light high, white camping light low, warm camping light high, warm camping light low, both white flashlight and camp light on high, and both lights blinking. There is also a handle that pulls out from the light which you can use to hold the light or to hang it from.
To use the 1.2 watt solar panel to charge the light, just place it in direct sunlight. The battery level light will show 25% with just one light lit to let you know that the battery is charging. You can also charge it using the included USB charging cable. This method will fully charge the battery in only 5 hours. The battery will power the lights for 5-20 hours depending on which lights you are using.

Why You Should Get the OGERY Camping Lights
Recently I had the opportunity to try out other products by OGERY, including their Camping Fan, and was very impressed with it. Therefore, when I learned about the OGERY Solar Camping String Lights, I was excited to try it. Our family does a lot of outdoors activities both in our yard as well as at parks and other venues. While I have some string lights, they require a power supply which I have to take along with me as well as the lights. The fact that the OGERY Solar Camping String Lights were self-powered really caught my attention. Plus I liked the solar charging feature as well.
While I have not yet had a chance to use the lights for camping, I have been very impressed as I have used them around the home in the backyard. My family lights the nearly 50 feet of string lights which you can set to either colored or white. I really like that they are easy to store by rolling them up with the internal spool. It keeps the lights ready to use and prevents them from getting tangled. The flashlight on the bottom of the device is very bright and you can hold onto the handle. If you need to light up an area such as a table or the inside of a tent, you can use the handle as a hook for hanging up the light.
I am very impressed with the design and function of the OGERY Solar Camping String Lights. The price makes them very affordable. In fact, you may want to get more than one depending on your need. The string lights really add to an outdoor gathering and the camp lights put out plenty of light for playing tabletop games while camping or outdoors. The flashlight also makes a great spotlight for illuminating at a distance. If you like to enjoy the outdoors in the evenings and nights, then I recommend the OGERY Solar Camping String Lights to illuminate the night as well as have more fun.
