Customer Reviews


My dad gave me these as a gift, I really loved them! They are still going great 6 months later. I just bought a set for a friend...but purchased from Harbor Freight for 22.00 shipped. Much cheaper than here...

I've had these just a few days and, so far (fingers crossed), they're working as advertised. There are two thoughts I want to share with potential buyers:
First of all, be PATIENT after you open the box. This is NOT a "plug and play" light set. Unlike other sets I've purchased, the instructions say to give the solar panels two days of full sunlight to initially charge the batteries. That's hard to do, of course, since you want to use these lights right out of the box. But FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS anyway! If these solar batteries are like other rechargeable batteries (e.g. digital cameras) you really do need to FULLY charge the batteries before you first use them; otherwise, you will not get the maximum storage capacity of the battery. If you're impatient and set the lights up before you've "primed" the batteries initially, you'll probably get far less light than you would have, had you followed the instructions. (Oh, and please be careful to have the solar panel set to the OFF position before you initially charge the batteries. Having the set on AUTO will discharge the batteries instead of charge them.)
Secondly, believe the hype--these DO shine "super bright(ly)"! Other light sets I've purchased have figurines that are composed of plastic that discolor/fade with continual exposure to the sun and the elements. These figurines, however, are composed of glass (that come wrapped separately in a protective bubble wrap) so that the LED shines very brightly throughout the figure. These lights are, so far, SUPER bright, and shouldn't fade with time.
Six days and counting, and I couldn't be happier. Unfortunately, now that the arctic sun is fast disappearing, I won't be able to use them much past September. But NEXT SPRING, look out!
