8 Pack Solar Ground Lights - 12 LED Waterproof Solar Garden Lights for Outdoor Pathway, Yard, Patio, Walkway (Warm White) | Weatherproof Landscape Lighting for Gardens, Driveways & Lawn Decorations

My original review is below. I'm adding this just a week later.TWO have now died from water leaks getting into the electronics. The battery gets wet, the brownish acid solution destroys the switch - both of the deaders have significant rust on the *switch* contacts.MY ADVICE: If you are mechanically & technically adept, AND you can buy this design *cheap*, like under $1.25/per light, AND you're willing to put in some work, fine - order them & UPGRADE THEM YOURSELF BEFORE EVER PUTTING THEM IN YOUR GARDEN!As for me, I've upgraded the 6 remaining lights, and ordered 6 of a different design; we'll see if it's any better.UPGRADE: #1 - Disassemble. #2 - UPGRADE THE SEAL. The gasket supposed to seal the clear lens to the body needs work. #2a. Glue the gasket to the clear lens, with waterproof glue. Superglue works, but is too fast acting to get the gasket positioned properly. #2b. MOST IMPORTANT: Get some sort of clear plastic protective stick-on film, something with a bit of stretch to it (I had stuff on hand, but I don't recall where I got it). Cut a circle 1/2" larger than the clear lens & stick it on the OUTSIDE, leaving the 1/2" overlap. NOTE: My lights did not have a protective film on the lenses; if yours do, LEAVE IT ON. (I did this to try to seal the crack on mine, using strips of plastic film superglued in place. Finally, I just put a full sheet over the whole lens) #3 - Put dessicant packs inside the electronics compartment if you have any on hand #4 - Replace the 600mAh battery with a 2300-2600mAh battery. #5 - (IF YOUR TECHNICALLY COMPETENT...) The lights run down too quickly, even with a battery upgrade. There are numerous U-Tube videos on how to improve this by replacing a molded coil on the small circuit board. Mine had 220uh coils & drew ~20ma. Experimenting, I found that 150uh coils reduce current draw to about 10-12ma & the lights last till dawn, with a barely perceptible reduction in light output.[Original Review]I don't dislike these; the look nice and are pretty much what I wanted, though not as bright as I'd like.My problem with them is they aren't constructed to stand up to a normal garden setting.The clear plastic on 5 of 8 has already developed cracks due to the heat; the cracks let in moisture; all of these have condensation on the inside of the "glass".I placed these in our backyard garden spaces, which are all fenced and protected, so it's clear that the problem is heat & water.Of 8, one has died completely. Of the working ones, most come on at dusk, and have run out of juice within a few hours.YMMVThey work pretty good, but I have had one stop working. They are quite bright. They look great lit up at night. Maybe not the best for lighting a path, as they blind you since they shine upwards into your eyes, but they do look pretty at night. You just have to trust there is nothing in your pathway and follow alongside the lights. I don’t regret my purchase, but I might look for a different style the next time I buy since it’s along our sidewalk. They would make excellent accent lights though.Love these lights. We camp on the water all season. There is a rock wall that drops to water. I place these on the rocks then everyone is aware of where the edge is. I also line them around my deck which is just one step but it helps you see exactly where the deck is too!!I like this productMaybe I don’t have them in the best spots to get sunlight, but sometimes there are a few that either won’t turn on at night or will be barely dim. I have bought two boxes of these now but I’m not stoked on the brightness level. I’ve put them at the base of plants and bushes and trees all over the property. They are a great value thoughThese little things are easy to assemble and go perfectly in my garden of flowers very nice worth the money, haven’t had them very long so we’ll see about the lifeGood value, looks great, many to a pack. Must get good light, as is typical for all solar lights so don’t expect it to be more and you’ll be satisfied. Easy to assemble and re locate as often as you want until you find that look you want.These ground led lights are nice and bright and stay lit through the night. The only thing that I would have wanted to make them better is that the part on the bottom of the lights that you push into the ground to secure them is made of plastic, which breaks easily if your ground is hard or you hit a rock while pushing them into the ground. It would have been better if this part was made of metal.
