Customer Reviews
These are an excellent choice for outdoor lighting. First the fact they are made with metal and glass rather than plastic is a nice advantage. Second they have a large Amorphous solar panel on top to help keep the AA sized 600 mAh batteries (included) charged even on cloudy days. Third they are cordless so you can just stick them in the ground in your desired locations without any wiring needed. And finally they have a switch so you can have either a solid white, amber, or slowly rotating multiple colors as desired.
I plan to use the rotating color setting for the holiday season then switch to white. They are bright enough to easy see a walk way they are marking for example, but not going to put out a lot of illumination to actually see much other than the lights themselves. This is not important to me but something to be aware of. A single LED is only capable of so much light output.
I expect the LEDs as usual are going to last a very long time. The battery very large for the light the are powering and the solar panel large to help keep the batter charged. So a long lasting good system working together.
Many outdoor solar lights are made of cheap plastic for both the lamp and the lens which makes them look cheap. These look much higher quality and having a set of 12 is very useful.
Where I live we have cloudy days most of the time so having a solar panel capable of keeping these charged is an important feature.
I am very happy with my purchase and though I got mine on a super sale less than being sold for now I still think that the quality for the price is good too.
Much better in comparison to most other solar lamps of this quality and less expensive too.
If one needs brighter illumination then another selection may be necessary, but these look and work great for my needs.
Note: I have been using these for a few months now and during the dark winter days of the Seattle area there was not enough light to charge the batteries. I took them out and recharged them manually on an A/C wall charger and installed them back in the fixtures. Depending on the amount of light one has getting to the solar panels on top this may be necessary from time to time during dark days. Just something to be aware of depending upon the amount of light one is able to get to the solar panels depending upon where you live and the placement of these units.
We live in Southern Arizona, where there are dark sky rules in effect. The first Westinghouse solar lights I ordered were Hi Output lights (and are also available on Amazon, though they cost quite a bit more). Those lights were very bright, had a nice pattern of light, and provided a lot of illumination. However, they were too bright, and the light was a cool blue-white which we didn't really want. I returned those lights and got these. They are much dimmer but I like the "amber" color setting and they are just fine to outline the edge of our driveway. I wouldn't recommend them if you are looking to really light up a place but they met our needs. You do need to dig a hole to insert them into the ground if you have hard rocky soil like we do.
Update after a week - one of the lights died, maybe because of the battery. Since it's not worth it to try to send the whole package back, I may just try switching the battery with a new one.
