They aren't super bright, but they give enough light to hang out under and
eat a meal, etc.  They are medium-base sockets,  so you could re-lamp them
with any typical lamp.  For permanent installation, I'd run a messenger
wire and zip tie the string to that.

For remote control, something like this

I have a name-brand version that I use for my outdoor Christmas lights.
