These look nice in my yard. The color is a nice shade and brightness. I think these should hold up well. Read more

If I can get these things to work anyone alive or even recently killed has a chance. I have 3 stages of mindset when I work on any project that is hands-on. Optimism Frustration Destruction I was able to skip the last two with these solar lights. They do not throw out enough light to keep you awake at night and to my mind, are decorative more than functional but I figured that would be the case when I bought them. All 12 worked and that was a little amazing to me. Read more

Out of a pack of 12 lights, two were defective and non-functioning right out of the box. The rest of them work fine, and in fact were still going strong when I left to work at 6:00 the next morning, so I was impressed with that. There's an on/off switch you have to access by twisting the solar part off of the lamp part. I kept them switched off while I allowed them to soak in the sun for a few hours. Once the sun began to set, I switched them all on. I can't speak for the longevity of these since I just had them delivered yesterday, but so far I'm very happy with the ones that are working. I tried to give the company an opportunity to correct it before I left a review, and if they had, I would have given 5 stars, but I can't even reach them. When I clicked on the link in Amazon to have a defective item replaced, it took me to another website where I filled in an online contact form, but the submit button was non-functioning. And I could not find a phone number anywhere. So there seems to be no way to reach the people that would be able to replace the two defective lights. I get that sometimes things are just defective, but I just wish I had a way of reaching a customer service rep who can get those two bad ones replaced. That aside, even the 10 good ones I have are worth the money spent IF they last and are weather proof. They haven't been through rain yet, so we'll see. If they fail after the first bit of inclement weather, I'll update the review. And if the company sees this review and reaches out and replaces the bad lights, I'll update the review for that, too. Would I recommend these or buy them again? Yes, at this point I believe I would, since I have 10 good lights that were worth what I paid. Just be aware that you may or may not get a couple of duds in the batch, and if you do, you'll have trouble finding someone to resolve it. In the photos, the night picture with the most ambient light was taken with flash while the other two were taken without flash. The day time picture is just too show how unobtrusive they are. We're still working on adding boulders and plants to the rick gardens, but even with the surrounding landscape being somewhat bare, they don't stand out too much. I tucked them pretty deep into the ground because I only wanted the light exposed, but none of the post. I bought the cold white and love the nice, clean, crisp look, and it makes our very dark walkway leading up to our front door much safer at night since our neighborhood is quite dark. I didn't want anyone tripping over the wood borders of our rock gardens that line the walkway on both sides, as my daughter often gets fast food or Chinese take out delivered after dark. Safety was the main reason we purchased, but they look beautiful, too, and really dress up the after-dark curb appeal. Read more

Addedum: My lights have been working for five months now with no further problems. I have one in my study window because I meant to glue the lid on tight but I forgot and I enjoy the little light there every night. I highly recommend these lights. I've had them running for three weeks and they are all going strong. They were easy to set up and worked immediately. The light doesn't last until morning but it's winter and we've had a lot of cloudy days. In reality, I only need them to stay lit until 10 pm because none of us are up any later. I had planned to replace the batteries with Generic 1.2v AA NiCd 600mAh Rechargeable Battery for Solar light Lamp Green Color (Pack of 12pcs AA NI-CD Batteries) but these work with AAA. Nonethless, they worked flawlessly. Even if they only last a year, that only costs me just over $2 a month. Well worth the cost. I only wish the stakes were a couple of inches longer. Addendum: After the first rain, I found that three of my lights were full of water. The lights still work but they aren't watertight like the others. Surprisingly, the company did not offer to replace the broken lights. Addendum: The company sent me three replacement lights and they are all working. Even the ones that fill with water still work but the materials used must be flimsier than is required to keep the seals from breaking. 9 Month Review: Down to six working lights and some of those are weak or not changing colors. They just don't seem to be able to handle the rain. 1 Year Review: Amazingly, two still working. Just assume that these lights will only last one year and then decide if that works for you.

I like these lights a lot. They are small, but fairly bright and stay on at least five hours with a decent amount of sunlight during the day. The reason I only gave 3 stars is because of the customer service. When the lights arrived, one of my lights did not work. I contacted the company for a replacement. They were quick with a reply; however, they will not send a replacement without me giving them my phone number in order to ensure delivery. Guess I'll live with only 11 lights. Update: The company contacted me and said they needed a phone number to ship from China. Because I am very protective of giving out my number, they found an American company that shipped me the replacement lights (an extra one just in case). Read more

the lights keep disconnecting automatically despite it's full charge and the button with on status, you need to keep looking at them and turn off / on again almost daily. Read more
