Summer evenings are often won by small details: a table quickly laid, a few friends, and a soft light that makes all the difference. Many Action customers paused in front of a solar-powered string light with tiny colorful balloons, spotted in some catalogs around €5, wondering if it really lives up to its promises.
Behind this catchy price, there is a precise product: the string light with balloons Solar at Action, designed for both the garden and the balcony. Length of 5.6 meters, 10 LEDs, solar power and automatic dusk-to-dawn activation, with no outlet or extension cord to manage. The question remains: how good is this outdoor solar string, and what is its real in-store price?
A decorative solar-powered string light that works on solar energy
On Action’s official listing, this Action solar string light is presented as a decorative accessory for garden or balcony with 10 bulbs in the shape of small balloons. The cable measures 5.6 meters, enough to border a railing, surround a small pergola, or frame a window. The lamps create a “dancing flame” effect: the light does not stay completely fixed; it mimics the flutter of a candle, for a warmer ambiance than a steady glow.
The string runs on solar energy: a small panel recharges automatically during the day, then the whole unit turns on by itself at dusk. For the user, this means no button to press each evening and no electricity bill consumption. It has been designed for outdoor use, to brighten a party, a terrace dinner, or simply provide a discreet light point near plants.
An Action solar string light for only €6.99
With the long summer evenings, sometimes a simple accessory is enough to give a completely new look to a balcony, a terrace, or a garden. Without undertaking major work or spending a fortune, a string light can create a warm atmosphere, ideal for outdoor meals or relaxing moments after night falls.
That is exactly what Action offers with this solar string light priced at only €6.99. Powered by sunlight, it automatically recharges during the day before lighting up your exterior in the evening, all without increasing your electricity consumption.

Where to install the Action solar string light in the garden or on the balcony
Action presents this model as ideal for livening up a garden or a balcony. For the string light to recharge properly, the small solar panel must receive enough daylight during the day, avoiding overly shaded corners. The 5.6-meter cable provides some freedom to surround a decor element and to position the panel a little more in the sun.
- Along a balcony railing to draw a glowing line.
- Around an outdoor stair balustrade to guide passage.
- On a small pergola or garden arch above a dining corner.
- Hung between two pots or planters to highlight plants.
- As a backdrop behind a garden lounge for a more intimate ambiance.
This type of outdoor solar string remains more decorative than a functional light, with only 10 LEDs spread along its length. It is best for creating a visual anchor and a cosier atmosphere during summer evenings, especially when you want a simple, plug-free solution and a low budget when promotions run around €5–€6.
