I bought these waterproof fairy lights a year ago and half of the LEDs don't work anymore. It seems the only LEDs that are affected are the ones in direct sunlight/exposed to the weather, the ones under cover are fine. They're only turned on occasionally too, not like they're on all the time.
Can anyone recommend some fairy lights like the ones linked above that are actually weatherproof and last longer than a year?
You could try the Bunnings lytworx ones if you’re only looking to spend <$40 at least they have a very relaxed return policy.
