mostly good
nice looking, easy to install. seem sturdy. one or two provide weak light compared to the others, even if placed in direct sunlight all day. I need to follow up with customer service.

Just OK when working, all broken w/in few months
When I first got them, about 1/3 didn’t work, but the company was great in replacing the non working parts. BUT, now, only 10 months later, every single one is broken.
There are plastic threaded parts that hold the lights to the post, then the same kind of plastic part to hold the post to the stake. First the heavier lights and posts broke off the stakes, so I just stuck the poll in the ground without the stake, but then the same plastic piece that holds the light to the stake, started breaking.
The heat and sun have weakened the plastic threaded pieces and now they are all breaking off just under the light. This is not repairable. The lights work and even most of the batteries still work, but what good is that if there is no way to attach the pieces and use the light set.
It’s been an annoying problem since I first got this set, with the bottom pieces constantly breaking and needing repair; but now it’s not only frustrating, but upsetting.
I wouldn’t mind having to spend the $100 once a year for a whole new set, but to go to so much trouble all year long (or 10 months long) then have to replace them; it’s just not worth it.

When the lights are working, they are not very bright. My neighbors have much brighter solar lights in front of their homes. I didn’t mind that so much because it’s not bad, just different. The light lasts most of the night and well into the early morning. They look nice and if you put them where your gardener won’t trample over them, they should last a long time.

UPDATE: I notified the company of the problems I was having and without question they replaced every part I was having problems with and send extra parts. I was able to fix or replace every old, not perfect part with brand new, working lights. What great service. Now I have a whole new light set outside.

Excellent buy
Was a little leary about buying these since some people said that some of the lights did not work right from the start. I could tell every single one was working as soon as I turned them on by holding my hand over the solar panel. They are wonderful quality. Not plastic, but metal and glass and they throw off pretty good light, if you have them in direct sunlight. The light is white, and not the yellow that most solar lights emit. I have a few that get a bit of shade during the day and are not as bright, but overall they work great. Very happy with this purchase and would definitely buy again.
