I don't normally write reviews. But I've been bragging about these lights to everyone that visits so I felt it was necessary. I purchased one as a test. Was shocked at how bright it was and how well made. So I purchased 12 more. We are using them light up a long driveway and walkways. These saved us the cost of hiring someone to run electricity up the driveway and wiring each light.

My concern prior to purchasing was brightness. In the past I found solar lights to be more of decorations than useful lighting structures. These lights are bright! Surprisingly so. They light up our driveways and walkways very nicely. They are well constructed with metal and are clearly tough. And they actually stay lit all night after a normal day of charging. I found that to be very impressive.

I saw a lot of questions about installation into the ground. They do come with means to twist them into the ground with an oversized stake. Kind of like what you would do with a beach umbrella. That wouldn't work here where we have rocky ground. I went with cementing them in which just seemed like a better option for a permanent lighting fixture.

Speaking of permanent - batteries don't last forever. The good news is you can replace the batteries. You replace them in the fixture. The company states every two years but I think you'll get more time out of them if you are okay with the lights not staying lit all night.

They are easy to put together. But here is the only negative that I found. Out of the 13 boxes I opened 10 of the boxes had the bag that held the critical screws and bolts needed to put it together opened and spilled into the box (or outside of it when opened). When you open the box look for the bag at the top of the box where you open it and be prepared for a game of hide and seek!

Overall - highly recommended. I will be buying 6 more. These lights demonstrate where this technology has gone and are clearly state of the art. Built to last.

Easy to assemble, but Not as bright as I had hoped for, for the price.

This is really good quality, easy to put together, I cemented this in the ground, how ever this doesn't really hold a long charge, I'll get about 4 hours of lighting after dark,but to be fair it doesn't get sunlight all day, maybe in the winter when the leaves fall it will get more sun,overall I like this and do recommend this.

Used these on a gate posts with no electric near by. Very bright I hope they hold up

I really wondered if this lamp was worth the larger price. I am now convinced that it is a very good purchase. Pros: solar panels around the entire top for good charging. Well fitted clear Glass ! Strong metal construction, and a decent black finish. 3 very bright LED lamps. Fantastic output of natural looking light. Cons: Expensive. Did I mention it was Expensive ? Oh, and the "Pier" mount is not included. It will directly mount on a round lamp pole. I ordered the mount separately for $10.00, from a separate seller. It arrived separately. I do fully recommend this light. It exceeded my desires for a handsome, functional light.
