This is a 20% discount, a match for what we normally see, and is the best available. Offering up illumination without batteries or wall outlets, this strip uses the power of the sun to shed light wherever you place it. Plus, there’s even an auto on/off at dusk/dawn so your lights are only in-use when it gets dark outside. Rated 3.9/5 stars.
