One of the two units came in defective. After charging both units under the sun, one unit works perfectly after charging for a full day under the sun. The defective unit barely lights up. There may be something wrong with the wiring or battery storage on the defective unit.

this is one of the worst products: i installed 6 lamps, i have 10 more in five boxes. two of the installed products dont work after two days. the stake is too short to hold on to the ground. the switch covers already worn-out(the rubber cover) i need to return this...you can have them please. the product needs redesigning

When new they work ok. They are not waterproof so they fill w water quickly and stop working. Poor design.

Received broken

First week or so they worked great. Now they don't stay on long. They are in direct sunlight. I wouldn't waste my money on them.

These solar lights only produce about 2 hours of light. I live in south Texas where there’s more than enough sunlight to power up these things and these lights don’t last much on.

Works out of the box but once installed around the house they only light up about and hr or so once they come on. This may be due to being winter and they don't have enough stored battery life. Its on the low setting and still not lasting throughout the night. One other downside is they will only stay on low or high. There is no sensor for automatically going brighter when someone approaches or going off until it needs to light up. Maybe this will increase the life of battery to power up all night? I should have went with the "Mainstays" ones because I know they work as I described above from a family member who has some.
