This light is functional and works well! Very easy to install with two screws! Also has a great look!
Shipping was extremely fast. It arrived a week early. Looks great on my fencing. I gave the brightness a 4* cause one of the lights has a shirt on battery. But other than that I’m very pleased and well worth the money.
There are two solar lights in the set. They are not large, a little over 5” by a little over 4”. They come with detached solar panels that are on 16” cords so plenty of room to place them where you want, a remote, which I personally fine that I lose when I have them, and optional ground stakes. The lights are bright and would work best above a garage door or on a patio. I am putting these on two walls on my back patio. There are three modes. I prefer to have them on continuously but you can use the motion sensor mode if you don’t want the light on all night. It is easy to put up and use and have a clean line. They are not bulky.
I purchased these lights for my front porch area (in a shorter length) and to hang as lighting across my backyard because power outlets aren't easily accessible on my house. After having great success with my front porch, despite the sun only charging the panel (realistically) for about 6 hours (due to location, my house faces north and slightly east, so the sun only really hits it from 6 am - noon), and getting about 7 hours of light from the bulbs subsequently, I decided on getting them for the back porch. I have been impressed by the ease of assembly and the lasting charge of the solar panel. Even with not getting the best sun in general in either the front or back of my house (trees in the back), and the rain (it has been raining every day for several days) my lights will go on at sunset for at least 5 (more like 6-8) hours. I have already dropped them on the ground, no breaking(!) which is a benefit of the plastic over glass bulbs on Edison lights which easily shatter (I am not clumsy per say, but I don't have amazing luck in this arena). However I want to make sure I say they do not look plastic when strung, they look just like my neighbor's glass lights. They are pretty sturdy! I haven't tested them in gale force winds yet, but the outer bands of a tropical depression came through the region and they have not broken and they have lit every single night. I cannot speak to dealing with customer service or having issues with the lights, as mine have worked perfectly. My partner was skeptical of spending so much on lights, but they now are remarking each night "what a great purchase!" when we look out of the window or are enjoying the night on the porch. I look at this as an opportunity not to have to buy things over and over again (which I feel is wasteful) The ONLY criticism I have so far is that these do not turn on unless it is completely dark outside. The work around is covering up the solar panel with someone solid, and the lights will go on, if you'd like to have them lit at twilight time. I have done that in the above picture so you can get an idea of how they light. Might set up a second strand, but the were definitely brighter with a whole day of charge, so don't be discouraged if you set them up and the panel wasn't out all day to charge. Just a tip.
They are beautiful and they last for hours. I ordered a 12 for my backyard but 2 out of the 12 are faulty as you can see from the images. No matter how much sun these two get they die in no time. I’m going to contact the seller for a replacement.
Love the colors and they stay lit for a long time
Brightest and longest lasting solar pendant light there is. Google “what angle to set your solar panel at”.) Lights went dead after 3 hrs first time (I let fully charge before using). After pointing the panel South and entering my zip code, google told me 38 degrees to set my panel angle at. After doing so, my lights now last until 7am. Each light has a bright blue illuminated battery charge indicator that is brilliant and shows how much the battery charged. If you want the brightest longest lasting solar pendant lights, these are it! *Update* I removed the 4300 Mah battery and installed (3) 3400mah batteries. This way even when it’s cloudy and solar panel doesn’t get enough sun, my light always works.
I love the ease of setting these up. Being a single female I don’t drill stuff so this in ground option was great. Worked great the first couple of nights but now when they go on they only stay lit a couple hours which doesn’t help me see if there is wildlife out there in the middle of the night for my avoiding skunk issue I got them for. Other than that the shipping and price was very reasonable. (Four come in a set)
These are nice accent lights. If you have enough of them, you can light a path, etc. I got them to add a little style to our chicken coop. Light goes on automatically when it gets dark. The only thing I don't really love about these lights is the installation. I would prefer two screw holes that go through the fixture instead of one screw bracket on the back. If you don't get the light installed perfectly, it can rotate and become unlevel.
Since joining Vine I've lost count how many different solar pathway lights I've now tried. It's easily well above a couple dozen now anyways. I often end up giving them away to family and friends, but these we're keeping. What we like about them. They have cold and warm light choices. So they're easier to match to other lights. They have a glass globe and not plastic that scratches easily so it's far easier to clean them as the inevitable bug and spiders build up in them. Though the rest is plastic, they don't seem flimsy. They make a neater light pattern than just the run of the mill variation of a star that so many have. The light dispersion pattern is pretty wide for lights as tall as they are. Wider than many that are taller than them. They last all night. Even under ambient and not direct sunlight as we've had a few overcast days in a row. The one thing that is a common problem when it comes to these sort of inexpensive solar lighting, is longevity. We've had some where some stopped working in all of a few months. But as that's not something I can attest to yet, so far I can't think of anything to complain about. If these turn out to not last all that long I'll come back and edit this. But as it is now we're happy with them.
Very upset with this product. Got to my house and the wiring wasn't connected properly (picture) Only half of the butterfly lit up
After a few months of use these lights would no longer come on. I purchased batteries to replace the existing ones. When I opened the electronics compartments on the lights found they were full of water. They are advertised as “ STURDY AND WEATHER-RESISTANT: Our solar lights feature high-level waterproof IP65 material, making them the perfect addition to your outdoor space. They'll withstand rain, hail, and snow, shining bright no matter the weather conditions.”.
We took the lights with us on our Honeymoon Cruise. ( Carabean) Placed them on the deck for daily charging. Just enough light for romantic effects. We even took them to the beach at night, lite up our path and onlookers wanted to know “where I got them !” The island children loved them ... too! We are having a great time with our “Gold Armour” lights. ***May we buy more? Thank you for planting trees .. We planted coffeeebean tree seeds on Porto Plato Island on our cruise.. We helped the Island people plant seeds after their big storm. *** Grand Expeirince giving back !! Super Sturdy to stick in your suitcases or bag for that extra special feeling ... of romantic ambience !!
Very nice and not super bright
I was at first very happy. Now the battery has gone dead I guess and the product does not work. Also it happened after the window of time to return it is over. I’ve had it maybe four months. It has reall been out about a month.
