I bought these lights three years ago. They look and perform exactly as they did on day one. Beautifully!
I consider them to be one of the best products I've purchased on Amazon, and know the seller is respectable and communicative, if there is an issue.
The lights are a three-piece unit consisting of a black frame, a frosted white insert, and the solar cell/battery/light unit that fits in the top of the frame. What makes these lights excellent is the solar cell surface is glass, not a resin or plastic. After three years, there is no UV degrading of the solar panel. The black and white plastic is holding up just fine as well.
+1 for quality solar componentry!
I have to say these lights were performing extremely well in their third season, but I'm a tinkerer. And since the manufacturer made the AA battery accessible, I had to replace the included 600 mAh rechargeable battery, with an Energizer 2100 mAh rechargeable battery. With the original battery, charging in direct sunlight for most of the day, I would get four solid hours of bright LED light. With my upgraded batteries, I get six to seven hours!
+1 for user-replaceable/upgradeable battery!
My only caveat is... On the bottom of the solar cell/battery/light housing is a switch to change the light from warm (really yellow) white to the slow-fading rainbow colors, (see the red light on my attached deck photo.) I wish this switch was a "button" instead, allowing the user to cycle from the warm white color, to one of the other colors on solidly, and finally to the fading-colors option. (All solid purple or green would be cool, but the fading colors are almost distracting when all six lights are on, because they can't be synchronized.)
Finally, I think I like these lights so much because they genuinely exceeded my expectations, in component quality, design-simplicity, and ease of installation. You really can buy them with confidence.
NOTE: We live in a northern climate, so they are removed and stored indoors from late fall to early spring, but I assume they would be fine year round.
