I must have tried at least 5 different types of solar path lights before ordering these. I absolutely love how they look (you can have two heights). Along my driveway. Easy to assemble, plant and then forget them! What sold me on these particular lights was the brightness of each light which had been a real problem for my long driveway. I had estimated needing 20 lights in total so that people backing down my long narrow driveway wouldn't run off into shrubbery or the fence. With the other lights I tried they just were not bright enough and although I loved the price point for the other lights I tried and sent back I would have had to use double my estimate. Finally after much thought and reading of reviews I ordered the Bobcat Solar Path Lights with 300 Lumens. To reduce my initial cost I settled for 3 packs of 4 lights each pack or 12 lights altogether, reasoning that if they worked I could always order more. To my utter delight 12 lights were all I needed! The lights have settings to be bright white, warm light or off. The setting I use which is the white light shines so well that more than 1/2 the driveway is light requiring only one side of the driveway to need the lighting. Guests have raved at how bright it makes the driveway at night and they feel much better about backing down the drive. They also love the way they look, which is beautiful. You don’t notice them between the briar bushes and they are tall enough to get full sun. I love them and wish I had bit the bullet on purchased them way sooner. Now I am looking for other ways I can use these and other Bobcat Solar lights around yard, they really are quite nice. Specifics: directions say to plant in full sun for 2 days to fully charged I did but honestly don’t think it was necessary for that length of time they charge super fast and the light stays on all night till it is fully daylight. The material is mostly plastic but durable. I do recommend that you plant the spike deeply then attach the rest of the light assembly to prevent bending or splitting the post while trying to shove it in the ground. I recommend these lights they are bright, good looking and really complement any landscaping! Read more
Great pathway lights and give a good wash of light. I had a set of these at a previous home and they were still going after 5 years. I really like that they can be turned to cool or warm light and like the modern look as well. Read more
LOVE these !! These are wonderful lights and a great addition to my landscaping ! Very simple, I love how you can either make them short or tall. The lights are a perfect lighting not too dim and not too bright either. Compared to other prices I have seen for solar landscape lights, these are WONDERFUL !! Read more
Bright, long lasting light! Fixture is stylish. So far, so good! Used to light the end of my driveway by street. Does a great job! Read more
I bought 6 and replaced them from my old ones . These are the most efficient best lights of their kind. I can’t believe how good they are how versatile.. sturdy and with lengths that can be placed higher or lower just the best and the light has the off switch, the soft light and the brighter light. What more could you ask for. I’m very pleased. Read more
In Arizona, good sunny spots, no rain since ive owned mine. 2 out of 4 of my lights are working at about 10% brightness. Cleaned the solar panels, turned the lights off for a few days to fully charge them, moved spots around. The half of my lights that work, look great! unfortunately half do not work in about a month. Maybe I got a bad batch or something. Light quality is great. Read more
These were extremely expensive and I had certain reservations about purchasing. After having used them for 3 months now I can honestly say they were well worth the cost. These things put other solar-battery powered path lights in my neighborhood to shame - there is no comparison. The first time I charged them by placing just the lamp heads on a bench and facing them directly perpendicular to the sun all day. After installing them that same day, the ran ALL night long, about 12 hours as it was late November already. However, after the first day they only stayed lit for about 5 hours the next day, but that was only due to the early winter sun position being low in the southern sky already. There is just not enough direct sunlight in the winter to fully charge the lithium batteries yet due to the sun’s position low on the horizon relative to the solar panels on the lamps. Now that it is February and the sun is shifting back northward, I am getting about 8 hours of run time (6:00 pm to about 2:30 am). When I leave for work at 6:00 am I can just barely see some light coming from a few of the lights that get the most sun exposure during the day. I am confident once the summer time gets here and the sun is almost directly overhead during the day, these batteries will recharge fully and run all night long like they did on the first day I charged them by facing them directly to the sun. One thing to remember is you have to position the lamps in places that get unobstructed exposure to the sun to get maximum run times. This includes keeping them out of shadows of other plants in the yard. However, even on relatively cloudy days, you can still get several hours of run time when the sun first goes down. If the manufacturer could figure out a way to mount the solar panels on a tilting bracket that could be angled towards the sun, they could be used in many more places around the house that don’t get full sun exposure. I like the two piece poles and ease of installation. At first, I only used a half section of pole but later installed the second portion. The light definitely spreads farther with them mounted on two sections. I saw another reviewer disassemble one and mention the batteries could be serviced. That’s another positive as you have the ability to replace the batteries in a few years when they show signs of decreasing run times which they will surely do as all rechargeable batteries wear out over time. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the lights. Update: 11/2025. All lights still working 4 years after purchase. I refreshed the solar panel plastic covers that had clouded up with some 1500 grit sand paper and some automotive rubbing compound. Only one light is a bit dimmer than the others likely due to a failing battery. Will try to replace it soon. Read more
