I want to bring them back. The blinking after the battery wears down almost got me kicked out of my apartment when someone thought it was a blinking fire..Disconcerting to say the least…these suck!
Does anyone know of some that work right?

I too have purchased three of the 8 chain lantern solar light strips, took quite a while to hang and found they blink non stop after the charge begins to wear off, they are driving us nuts and we are returning them today. Sucks to drive an hour to get our money back but this is the first of several items we have bought at Ikea that didn’t work out, but seeing how many people have had issues frustrates me that they do not recall them and stop selling them altogether.

See my previous comment, but now as of last night, just less than a week after hanging solig chinese lanterns, the second strand has started blinking. What can I do???????

I too have the Solig string…2 sets and they start blinking about 2 hours after they are on. It would be nice in IKEA could contact their manufacturer and query why. I wouldn’t have gotten them had I known they would blink.

I have three sets of the uplights and all of them start blinking when their charge gets low instead of just shutting off. Really poor design and want to return them for my money back.

ok, same here on the blinking problem. I just put up 2 strands of the small white small solig chinese laterns. 8 to a line. On the second night (tonight) 4 hours into the evening when the lights were showing, one of the strands started blinking. I tried turning on and off, didn’t work! They were classy looking, but the blinking is terrible looking, and it took a while and a lot of work to put together, then hang just right in my trees. I’m rather pissed. HELP!!

I’ve just got the same problem: one of the two Solig solar-powered light chaines has started blinking on the second night of functioning. Has anyone ever managed to fix that fault by any chance?

Hmmm…so far, I haven’t had any trouble at all. Which lamp did you get?

I have tried two of the solar powered tubes and both have been faulty. The first one worked for two nights and then started blinking. I thought maybe it was getting light feedback causing it to turn off but when I shielded the sensor that didn’t help. So, drive way over and get another. This one worked one night and now it doesn’t even go on.

Great idea but poorly executed. Too bad
