Perfect lights for the outdoors in our garden.

OK, so there are a couple of issues with this product. Or rather, the seller/marketer of this product.1. The image of the large glowing bulbs is trick (or at best, selective) photography. I bought these expecting them to be roughly equivalent in size to a standard household lightbulb. That's kind of how they look in the image, right? Wrong. The lights are actually very close to the camera and the picture is shot through them, emphasising the background. In reality, the bulbs are about at best an inch in diameter.2. For some weird reason, the seller won't let you buy more than one set of these PER ORDER. I wanted two sets, so I had to wait until Amazon had shipped the first set before I could order the second set. Annoying, but I have Prime so at least I wasn't hit with two sets of shipping.When I finally had both sets of lights (although the second set seem to be unboxed returns), I tested them both and they worked right out of the box. The solar panels are about 2 inches square and can be used on either gound spikes or wall mounts, both of which are included (the wall mounts have screws and rawl plugs too). The solar panel box has two rubber-covered buttons on the back. An on/off and a Mode button. To test them, just turn them on, temporarily cover the solar panel (which doubles as a light detector) and the lights will begin to cycle through all of the different modes they have. Once you're happy they all light up, click the Mode button to select a specific lighting effect that you prefer.One last thing, they come bundled/wound in a way to reduce the size of the packaging, but man are they a pain in the rear to unwind/untangle. Or at least they were for me, you may be a knitter and used to dealing with this kind of thing. For me, I had to resort to chanelling my inner fisherman to deal with the resulting birds nest that began to unravel.I've given the ratings I have because although initially disappointed with their size (and what I felt was misleading advertising), the lights themselves have (so far) worked very well. They give a decent show, both in light quality/brightness and effect but as they've only been up a couple of days and (unusually) it hasn't rained yet in the UK, I have no idea how long-lasting they will be. My initial thoughts on inspecting them is that they're of OK/good-enough build quality to last at least a couple of years or so. Time will tell.

The light is very bright, they look lovely in the garden, would highly recommend.

Good for outdoors

Bought to replace last year's solar lights which were losing out, one by one, to our wonderful Scottish weather (2024 season). Difficult to really evaluate these at this time of year as the daylight hours are shorter. They do not appear to function as well (holding charge-wise) as our previous lights but they do look very pretty when on. Will they survive a Scottish winter? time alone will tell. UPDATE - Well, here we are in May 2025 and an update on the situation. Having gone through a,mild, Scottish winter I find it sad to report that, several weeks ago the lights started to fail and we now have 11 dead bulbs, so having only lasted six months a bit disappointed. Arrived in June 2025 and, sad to report we are now down to seven working bulbs so I have removed and binned them, overall poor, regardless of price paid.

Lasted 1 year then some bulbs stopped working, then completely stopped working after 2 yearsNot sure how long they should last, but they looked nice when they worked, just very small bulbs compared to the images only a few cm

Lovely long string of warm lights that last well. Just take care not to cut through the wire when gardening
