This came with no directions whatsoever, just a diagram. Didn’t say if the batteries were already charged or not, or what the extra little cord was for. I’m charging the batteries now, I have yet to see if & how it works.

It works great, provides light all night long, but the plastic spikes do not go far into the groud on the hard soil we have here. I thought the spikes were metel. That’s only my real complaint, I all ready have a broken one and will have to replace it with something to keep it like it should be.

We bought a set on sale for ~=$40. In 1 year we had 1 light fail and bought another set of 4 (also on sale). We liked them that much. We have a shady curvy path to the front door and need to be able to see where it is. With careful panel placement (we change it for winter/summer), we still have it lit for our morning commute. The bad news is they don’t seem to last. Within a year of buying the second set, we had 2 more fail (1 from the original set, 1 from the new set). Right now we have just a single light at the end of the walk.
Perhaps it is just the rainy/humid Florida weather, but they don’t seem to last for us. Perhaps they have modified the design and that has upped the $$. It has been ok for $40/set.

The setup instructions were clear, and the product works well. But the amount of light from each fixture is minimal. These solar lights are good for guiding someone down a driveway, but not for accent or safety lighting.

I bought 2 sets of these lights about 14 months ago. After spending an afternoon setting them up, including digging and laying the wires for them, I found that they were dimly lit after a few days of charging. They never got any better. In addition, one set quit working after the first month. The second set: 1/2 the lights (2) stopped working 11 months later. They are useless and a waste of my time, finances, and aggravating to boot. I am sure many people are happy with them. I have had no luck with them and will be investing in electric lights now.
