 Not most reliable August 28, 2010

We bought 8 of these roughly 6 months ago. Only 7 are working now and one is acting up. They are not as bright as I thought they should be. They do last through the night which was a surprise and good.

I read some great reviews about these lights and based on what I read, I ordered three sets of four. Eleven of the lights worked right out of the box. The twelfth did not work. After four days in sunlight, it was still not working. I changed the battery. It worked for several nights and then stopped working again. Assume the battery is not being recharged. Of the eleven that worked out of the box the sun sensor fell off of one but the wires remained attached. Didn't seem to screw on so I assumed it was supposed to be glued. I just laid it back on top and the light has worked OK for the month after it was installed. The other ten worked OK for the first month that I have had them - but one of the ten has now ceased to function. Maybe needs a battery change or it has just gone bad - who knows. The light, of all of the working ones, is dim and three do not come on at night because one is too close to a porch light and the other two get some rays from a street light. These things have to be taken into consideration when using lights with sensors. The biggest problem with my lights is with the cosmetic's. The Pewter lights start to rust after being in the rain and lawn sprinklers over a period of weeks. The rust starts to form in the trough around the sun sensor and spreads out from there.
Several weeks after my review above, we had about 5" of rain over a three day period. On the third night, I noticed that the bulbs in two of the pewter path lights seemed to be floating. Close inspection showed that the plastic lens portion , on both lights, had filled with water. One of these was the light that had the sun-sensor that had fallen off. The other had a sensor that had not been completely glued at the factory. I emptied the water out and they still work but are even dimmer than the others. One has to wonder about the lack of quality control on the assembly line for these lights. I guess they just throw them together and hope they stick. As for the rust. If you google "Does pewter rust?" the answer will come back "No".

These look very nice, especially the ones where the solar cell didn't fall off. They don't throw much light though and as such, wouldn't be good enough to illuminate completely dark walk unless they were spaced every 4'. The solar cells fell off of two of the four and we had to glue them back on. How expensive is hot glue people? Get it and use it. Besides that, the concept is great. One AA battery that the cell recharges and once the battery gives out we can pop in a new one.

Good price, good quality. One night while my party is over and say good bye to my friends, it is already 2:00am at midnight, but the solar light still bright and shine!
