All 8 shone bright the 1st night after a day in the sun. I'm happily surprised. The only negative for me, and it's a small 1: the light is a very "cold" blue, whereas my outdoor wall lights are warm yellow, which I much prefer. I didn't realize it from the listing or the package pic. But the light is bright, and at this price, no complaints. So far so good--I hope they'll still be shining through the upcoming rainy season!

I've got my lights lined up by my pool and so far so good

All 8 work. Could be a little brighter. Seems to last all night
