I've had them operating a month. So far, good. Pretty. Seems well built. NICE glass, not cheap plastic! Easy to put together. Hoping they hold up through winter snow! Ordered a second batch I like them so much!

The lights look really nice.

I waited nearly 2 years to review this product, as previous solar lights looked good at first but failed soon after. These solar lights are different. The clear light cover is made of glass and throws a beautiful circular pattern and is as clear as when I purchased it. The night photos on the listing is a true representation. The batteries are still the original, and pending on the light received, in the summer the lights are still on way after midnight. (note the northern side where there is shade can be less). The solar element on some does show some wear but they work see two examples.

I wish the lights were brighter. What's the pattern is really striking and I like that

It's true they're not bright if you were trying to light an area, and 2 of 1 set dont work... but of the ones that did work, for anyone hoping to add some beautiful decor, and/or highlight a walkway or steps , they're WONDERFUL and really add some instant beauty to a previous unlit area. I was really sad 2 didn't work, and almost tried buying/replacing the rechargeable batteries, but didn't want to spend to fix a brand new item without even knowing if that was the problem. That being said, I bought a set for myself to check them out, as a bit worried I wouldn't like the pattern vs a regular light, but they're nicer than photos can pick up at night, and EVERYONE loved the difference they make. So I bought ANOTHER set as an anniversary present for my grandparents to come home to their 1st dinner out since covid on their 72nd anniversary!) I charged them during the day at my house, and snuck them in at their house while they were at dinner. They LOVED them, but was funny they called me 2 nights in a row asking how to turn them off before they went to bed, and I had to get them used to understanding they not only don't use electricity, but they come on all by themselves, turn off all by themselves, AND create their own electricity, so just enjoy the lights and never touch them until maybe you need to change the rechargeable batteries (regular AA rechargeables) every once in awhile. If you want a larger light span, make them taller (that's what I did to a few) and if you need to light an area where they don't get enough sun because they're too low to get sun exposure, make them taller. I bought a very easy to cut plastic pipe (it was about the size of a paint roller long handle) very easy to cut, and when I did them at my house I didn't have the saw, just used kitchen scissors to get a slight cut going where I wanted, and then snapped it across my knee. The plastic is better than wood to use in wet soil since it wont rot. I cut them to the size I needed and in one of my planting beds I had a zip zag pattern with 3 in the front and 2 in the back (the back getting less light from the plants covering them) so I raised the back 2 and they get great sun now. Take one of the lights without the steaks to your local hardware store, and there is a common size theater will just perfectly fit (orry I can't remember which and they're already cut and in the ground) so perfectly you have to work it a bit to get them into the light, but that's what you want, so they don't fall off. Keep in mind if you use a pipe, odds are high the bottom sharper steak meant to slide into the dirt won't fit into the bottom of the pipe, so a LITTLE harder to push the pipe straight into the ground by hand, so DONT push onto the lights. The instructions a clear to push the included steaks or whatever you rig in first, then add the lights. So I just grabbed whatever I had lying around, and tapped in the pipe and added the light after. BTW, buy the darkest pipe you can or they have a green garden steak in the garden section that would have worked great, and nice and dark green so it blends. I'm hoping the company makes up for the 2 not working.
