Solar lights replace?
I have a really cute metal tube like decoration with bees on it and cut outs, It has a solar top and attached are twinkle lights so it lights up at night. Now it won't work, I have replaced the battery, but was wondering can you buy the twinkle lights to attach to the solar panel on top? Thanks in advance Peggy

I'm not sure if you can buy just the lights, but check Amazon, they carry solar twinkle lights.
From what I have seen, they come in strings of lights, nothing individual. Maybe something along the lines of LED would work:

Hello could you possibly post a photograph to better see your situation and area of defective operation? Having a visual might be best guidance to a help find the best suggestions or potential replacement part to best know what you are dealing with. It’s possible another solar device might be retrofitted
I doubt you can buy the lights. They are made for the manufacturer of the solar light. The solar panel may be dirty and need cleaning. Did you replace the battery with a rechargeable battery. Regular batteries won't work. They can't be recharged.
Hi Peggy, here's a great tutorial that will show you how to clean your lights - https://www.installitdirect.com/learn/how-to-clean-maintain-outdoor-solar-lights/ Hope it works.
I would contact the mfg. of the solar lights to find out how to get them to light again. Replacing the battery is usually the fix you need
I had a solar light that went out. They take special rechargeable batteries that cost more than the light originally. I bought a new one.
Might be worth it to buy new ones since the rechargeable batteries can cost more
Yes - you can get solar lights with a solar panel on them that you could totally attach! Check some out here on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3kSf2Jl
I would try cleaning them first to see if that helps, I would also check the battery connections. Sometimes a bit of dirt or mineral deposits from the outdoors can build up and interrupt the connection.
Here's a tutorial. Good luck!

Some of these outdoor solar lights last for years, others not that long. If you have replaces the battery then it may be the charging unit thats not working. Perhaps get a meter to test it, Look for broken wires too. Good Luck
Try this take the batteries out take a nail file sand down all contacts that touch batteries even do ends of batteries then put it back together
Thank you
You should be able to find fairy lights on Amazon.
