What Customers Are Saying

The solar lights have mixed reviews. Some customers report issues with battery life and reliability, with the lights stopping working after a short time. The motion sensor and lighting functionality work well for some, but others found the lights stayed on constantly or did not turn on. Brightness and coverage are also points of contention, with some wishing for brighter illumination while others found the lighting adequate. Installation is generally easy, but quality control appears to be a problem, with some receiving used or defective units.

Battery life

Would Not Recommend

The Battery life is too short. I purchased several for my fence and within two months half would not recharge. Had to buy batteries.

Zero quality control.

Would Not Recommend

Sold as new. Obviously open box. One appears to be used, worn, swapped with original. Don’t buy from Lowe’s web sales.

Needs lots of direct sun to function.

Would Not Recommend

It really needs a lot of intense, direct sunlight to work because it has a "standby mode," which mean it is on all the time at night -- low light -- and then brightens with motion. That could have been clearer on the box packaging as I thought I was getting a device that was completely on, or completely off with motion. I installed this in an area that get partial sun and it couldn't get enough of a charge.

Definitely worth the money!

Would Recommend

I like that they stay on after sundown, when they pick up motion they brighten up a bit. They produce white light, not yellow.

Not right for my application

Would Recommend

It comes on at dark and goes out at sunrise. The previous version came on with motion , and was dark all other times. For insect control during warm months, I needed the dark / lights with motion version, which is apparently no longer available.
