Description should say will last up to 1 hour, not up to 10. Because the two packs I bought will last about 1 hour! Two of the eight do not last that long. If I had opened them sooner, I would have returned them. My five year old set (by a different maker) will still last about five hours longer than these do. A real waste of money.

I got these on a gold box deal a while back and they are great and they look nice too. I can place these just about anywhere a they blend great due to the unique coloring. I have heard a lot of people complain about solar lights breaking easily but these wont. I dropped one on accident and it didn't harm it at all. They are metal and durable. I want to get a few more sets myself!!

The plastic stakes broke quickly on two of our lights within the first couple of days. Both were accidentally bumped in to (not even with a lot of force) and broke immediately. They look nice, but don't hold up well. Also, it would be nice if the light was a bit brighter. The light is dim and doesn't last long after dark.

These lights were very easy to put together and get in the ground--took no more than 15 minutes to get all of them set up.
I have them in my front walkway and they are exposed to full sun all day so they can get a full charge via their solar panels. They come on automatically and reliably at sunset.
However, they last only 4-5 hours before dying out (the rechargeable batteries lose the charge). Also, the LED bulbs have a bright BLUE tint to them, which contrasts the more yellow tint of the rest of my house lights.
Overall, a good product, but I wish that they lasted longer before burning out for the night. I also wish the LED wasn't so bright blue in color.

When I see this type of lighting in the neighborhood I am always unimpressed by the light output they produce. So, when this appeared in my gold box I figured I would take a chance with just four of them. Now I wish I would have bought another set. I have been using them for a couple of months now and they produce nice bright white light every night.
They come with Nicad AA rechargeable batteries. I would have preferred Ni-Mh, which last much longer and hold more power. Before I assembled these I took the batteries and gave them a full charge with a charger I have, which is good for the batteries. If I see the lights looking a little dim, I will take out the batteries and give them a full refresh and recharge, which will keep the batteries in good shape for a long time. Also, I will be able to replace the batteries with a set of Ni-Mh that I have plenty of.
In order to keep the solar collector working properly, you should clean the solar film periodically. So, these really are not set and forget as one might imagine. However, this is an excellent product and I am very happy with my purchase. With LED lights and AA rechargeable batteries, I expect these to last many years with minimal care.
