Beau Jardin 8 Pack Solar Pathway Lights White Color Changing Stainless Steel 3 Mode Outdoor Multicolor Metal Solar

They are easy to assemble. Whether other reviewers are correct regarding them being brighter than those sold at local big-box stores, I don't know. But, they are bright, and we are pleased with the amount of light they emit. We did have one problem so far. One of the eight lights had a bad battery. It only held charge long enough to run the light for an hour or two (I didn't time it). At first I thought the light had just quit. Fortunately, these are designed to allow the AA rechargeable battery to be replaced. I substituted an Eneloop AA for the bad battery. The light came on again no problem. I put the suspect battery in a smart charger, and the charger indicated the battery was bad. I am now wondering how many of the other batteries will suffer the same fate. We've only had these out for about a week and really like them. Instead of returning them over one bad battery we are willing to substitute all the provided batteries with Eneloops to ensure good operation. For the price, I would have thought quality batteries would have been included. Maybe this one was just a fluke? Don't know. Would I buy again? Probably. I had no problem putting them in the ground and do not know why others complained the stake breaks. Hard ground maybe? UPDATE: The light that was malfunctioning was not the product of a bad battery as I originally thought. The solar panel on the light will not charge the battery. Even with a full-charged eneloop battery replacement, the light does not charge. Unfortunately, I do not believe I can repair that problem. I have contacted the company as I am past the return window (purchased while doing landscaping and did not install for over a month). We really like these lights. It is too bad a few have some problems. UPDATE: The company already contacted me and is sending a new top for the light. Other reviews indicated this company stands behind this product, and they do! I am so glad. My wife and I love these lights and plan to purchase another set to add more to our property. I am changing my rating to five stars. These are nice, and the seller is stellar. UPDATE 4/26/2023 - Three years later, and I ordered another set of eight. The good about these lights is that they work well. They are attractive and put out good light. Also, they have replaceable 18650 batteries, but after three years the first set of eight lights works well with the same included batteries. I only ordered eight more now because a couple of the originals looks a bit worn, and I could use a few more. Unfortunately, this latest shipment included yet another defective light. These lights have a defuser in the bottom of the lens that helps spread the light emitted by the led in the top. One of the lights had the defuser rattling around inside the glass lens due to its plastic mount being broken. Clearly, this appears to be damage caused at the factory. Hopefully, the company will again make it right. Otherwise, these are really good lights. Read more

*NEW AND FINAL UPDATE - I received an entire new set of lights from the seller and all of these lights are perfect - absolutely PERFECT! I cannot thank the seller enough for sending these lights. They are bright and are all just as they should be. Thank you! Updated after Seller reached out to me after reading about my problems with the lights. After messaging back and forth about the possible resolutions, seller has agreed to send me replacements lights for the ones that were not working correctly. I appreciate the seller standing behind their products because I know there are many who have been very happy with them. I also want to note that after charging for a couple of weeks, out lights are staying on much longer and are very bright. I am completely pleased with this result. Overall, since the seller made the effort to make good on their product, I have adjusted my review rating. Original: When I received, three of the 8 lights already had the pieces of paper missing that you pull to activate the batteries and one of the lights had the battery compartment open with the battery loose in the package. It does not fit securely in the compartment; I had to tape it for it to stay closed. One of the lights had the glass part of the light detached from the other part of the top and a small piece of the top where it is screwed on is broken. I used super glue to try and fix this, but it would not stay on when we put the glass part on. The light still attaches with this part missing. In conclusion, we charged the lights in the sun before using as per the directions and 6 of the lights work when it is dark. They do not stay only for very long; do not know if this will improve? Two of the lights do not work at all. Read more

*update* I'm editing my review. These are really beautiful when they work, all of the lights i put along the back of my yard aren't lasting more than an hour and a half - but I noticed the rest of the yard (not visible from my back windows) are starting lit like how the old ones did. So, I think that one of the boxes i received is a bad batch. I'm going to contact the company and see if they'll replace them or just return those to Amazon for replacements. The other 2 boxes seem to be just fine. I did purchase the ABS vs the metal and glass ones this time around - mostly because of the cost difference and needing 3 boxes to replace what's in my yard. I feel that the Metairie/ glass ones are made better and probably last longer. A few years ago I purchased these lights in a brushed nickel or silver color - they were beautiful and would last a long time. They've gotten old and the battery wasn't lasting as long, and the glass had gotten cloudy so I decided to purchase new ones. I bought 3 boxes of new lights but I'm so disappointed in them. They don't even last an hour! It gets dark a little after 5 now and by 7 there's no lights on! I'd say I got a bad box but all 3 have the same issue?? They claim 13 hours - my last ones did just that - but not these new ones. Super disappointed because they were lovely lights. Going to have to return these and find a different brand to replace them. Read more
