Malibu 3 Pack Solar Landscape Plastic Flood Light Set with Remote Panel, Textured Black #LZ413 Review

Malibu 3 Pack Solar Landscape Plastic Flood Light Set with Remote Panel, Textured Black #LZ413
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Off the bat - Readers need to know that a set like this is *never* going to set your yard awash in tons of free electric light. Manage your expectations and be realistic. A tiny little solar panel cannot power a light big enough to be terribly substantial. That said, I love this set.
LENGTH OF CHARGE
Most days I have used the lights, the panel had decent-but-not-amazing sun. Dusk was just after 5pm, and the lights turned on then via the automatic sensor. I thought the charge would drain much sooner, but the lights lasted until morning, with no loss in intensity. The rechargeable AA batteries are removable - awesome! When they eventually stop holding a full charge, you can drop by Radio Shack and grab a set to replace them. That'll be a while though. The fixtures are plastic, but for $39, who cares.
QUALITY OF LIGHT
This is the best set of solar garden-style lights I have seen. In addition to the great charge, they are brighter. Are the three lights together as bright as a table lamp? No. Are they as bright as my refrigerator bulb? No. Are they bright enough to read by? Yes. Even at about six feet away, I can read comfortably. However, keep in mind, these are not for general illumination. They're more like little spotlights. Designed to shine on a path, fence, or tree. The thing being lit needs to be in the path of the beam. The quality of the light is a little weird - that blueish-white you seen on headlights.
USES
I use the lights in a place where we don't have electric. (Great for a shed, for instance. Or of course, outdoors on paths, fences, plants, trees.) Also, these would be pretty neat for camping! They would be perfect on a porch, driveway, or white fence. (The lighter the color of the thing lit, the more light is reflected.)
ENERGY SAVINGS & EASE OF USE
Let's be clear - You are not going to save a fortune in electricity by using this tiny set of solar lights. Using a 50 watt lamp instead (which is much brighter) would only cost you ten cents to run for twenty hours, even if you pay .10 per kwh on your electric bill. It would take about two years of nighttime use to make your $39 back here. However, if you are using a battery lantern regularly, you'll quickly rack up battery savings. I like them because they can stand alone, without wiring or a bunch of expensive D cells. Point the panel toward the sun and plug in the lights.
CONCLUSION
Great reflector, better longer-lasting charge than any I have ever seen on a solar set. Love the fact that the rechargeable batteries can be replaced. Decent output. Light is a little blueish-white and weird. But I think they are pretty terrific for $39.

Set Of 4 Solar Powered Fence Post Cap Lights Deck Review

Set Of 4 Solar Powered Fence Post Cap Lights Deck

These are really nice. Sturdy and made of vinyl so they can't rust. (Not sure what the previous reviewer was reviewing but it sure wasn't these!) The only drawback is that if you leave them on all the time you'll have to change the batteries after about a year of use. Other than that they're totally maintenance free and look great even after being out in the Florida sun for nearly two years.

I set about 25 of these up around my house with multiple transformers. Out of the box, I had to replace one or two bulbs per week. After a year, this increased to 3 or 4 per week. The units themselves then started to fail as well. When the whole thing became too expensive and too much labor to maintain, I uninstalled the whole thing and threw it away. Buyer beware!

Picture and product don't match up. These lights are cheap for lack of a worst word. They light up but are not the same color, bought two boxes and three have a different light. The light is weak, they do go on as described. So this may be a product that you need to buy in person.

Valley Forge® Solar Liberty Flag Pole Light Review

Valley ForgeĀ® Solar Liberty Flag Pole Light
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I fly the American Flag nearly 365 days of the year and only take it down to replace it or during severe wind or weather. That being the case, flag etiquette states that "The American Flag must be lit by a light when flown at night." Not wanting to hire an electrician to run power to my flag pole, and since stretching an extension cord across the yard was not an option, this looked like the perfect solution. Boy was I wrong and truly disappointed by this product.
When it did work, the light only dimly illuminated the flag. To get decent lighting, one would have to install it near the top of the pole, right below the flag, which in turn would interfere with the operation of the pulleys and rope. In addition, the solar battery only lasts a short period of time and not through the entire night. As time wears on the light becomes dimmer, and dimmer, and a few hours later the flag is left in the dark.
Finally, the biggest drawback to this product is the fact that it attach's directly to the flag pole itself and is subject to the stresses of the pole's motion. When the wind gusts, the pole moves and at times that movement can be quite substantial. This in turn shakes the light and all its components. The light seems sturdy by design but has its weak points, like the small sized wire that attach's the solar panel to the light fixture for instance. Every time the pole moves, the light moves, and this takes its toll on the fixture. My patriot light only lasted 6 months.
Bottom line, it's a pretty good idea and seems functional but the design needs to be sturdier and the light needs to be much brighter. Until then, your money would be better spent on a regular solar spotlight to sit at the bottom of your flag pole.
