I was looking for an affordable set of solar lights to edge around my flower beds"¦these fit the bill. I wondered about functioning properly for this price for a set of 16 lights. I shouldn't have worried. Every light worked out of the box, and they charged fully in less than a day of sun. They have enhanced the look of my gardens night and day. They were easy to install (if you have hard dirt, make a hole with something really sturdy before pushing in the plastic stakes to avoid bending the tips.) It has been a really rainy summer so far and none of the lights have been affected by the water. They each shine just as bright as the one next to it, so the look is even and pleasing. I am very happy with this purchase and have received complements on how nice they look around my property.

These things are perfect for what they are "“ inexpensive solar lights that provide soft light to show the shape of a path, but not illuminate the whole thing. They are NOT spot lights. They are more like ambiance lighting and typically last about one year (outside full time in the Northeast). With the beating they take, they are an excellent value and do exactly what is expected.

These are replacing similarly designed lights and look just the same but newer. The main difference is these have an on/off button instead of a tab you pull out. Since I did not put out all of the lights, I'm hoping the leftovers will still be useable later. Though not overly bright, they are just w what I wanted to highlight the planted beds along my driveway. They may not be bright enough to light a path. They are good value for the money but not overly sturdy. The base that goes in the ground is plastic and is you accidentally drag your house across the light like I did, the metal tube will tip and snap off part of the top of the base so it won't hold the tube straight up. Luckily I have bases from my old set to fill in when this happens. You can replace the battery when the light dies by removing two small screws (at least I did this in my old lights). But the process is a little delicate as the wires can easily detach, rendering the light unusable. Unless you can solder, but the connection is delicate and would be difficult and not worth the trouble for the price of replacements. I dislike getting things that eventually end up in the land fill, but I'm not at the stage of getting wired lighting yet, which I assume is sturdier and more expensive. One more thing, the lights need decent sun access to the tops, something that wanted in certain locations in the winter at my house in S.Cal. For the price, I'm willing to accept this.
