Solar: Eco-friendly, best for outdoor use. Needs 6-8 hours of sunlight.
Battery: Portable and flexible. Great for temporary setups.

More LEDs per metre creates denser, brighter coverage. For a cosy bedroom, 100 LEDs over 10m works well. Outdoor areas may need 200+ LEDs for impact.
Look for IP65+ rating for outdoor use. This ensures protection against rain and dust. Indoor lights don't need water resistance.
Warm White (2700K): Cosy, romantic ambiance
Cool White (6000K): Modern, crisp look
RGB/Multi: Party and holiday versatility
Look for lights with built-in timers (6hr on/18hr off is common) and multiple modes like steady, twinkle, fade, and flash.
