Received today and they are in the ground !! LOVE the look. Very stylish and much better looking than the ones at Wal-Mart that look like "Road Flares". It was very overcast here this afternoon and all 4 lites came on. I used 2 on the ground stakes and hung the other 2 from the small shepard's hooks that were included. So far, so good. A "10" in our book. Will finish this review and order another set ASAP. Feel confident when ordering but do yourself a favor and get 2 sets at once. FYI...This set includes 4 ground stakes and 4 shepard's hooks. Enjoy !!

Great little solar light. I also ordered the Garden Prairie Solar State Light because I wanted the taller stake, but this model comes with the stakes and the prairie stakes so you can just order this model and not model 822-0578-4. They work great as long as you have them all placed in the sun so they can recharge each day. I have had to buy some rechargeable batteries and a charger for the lights that are under my tree's in my yard. Overall they accent my yard beautifully and I have enjoyed them very much. Very easy to put together as well.

What a great buy!! I was amazed when I opened my light sets today and saw the quality of them! They are very well made and came well packaged..I could not have asked for more! I purchased two sets and placed some on the ground stakes and the others on the shepherd hooks which were included. I can not wait until they are all charged to see how they will look!

Update 11/21/2010..
I was perhaps a bit hasty in reviewing this item the first time. After they had had adequate time to charge, I found that most of them would not light due to the fact that they had been shipped with outdated batteries. I contacted Amazon and they immediately sent me new batteries. I assumed this would solve the problem, but after having tried those..and later purchasing additional batteries on my own..I have found that most of the lights are themselves defective. Out of eight..three have never lit..and the remaining five give out only a very dim glow which will last for no more than an hour at best.

Therefore I am changing my original review and advising against the purchase of these lights. They would be really fantastic if they worked..BUT THEY DO NOT..and I would give them no more than one star!!

I ordered 20 of these to line the walkway up to the house. The price was right to buy sight-unseen. They are fine, but the posts are plastic and very tough to drive into hard ground. When on, they look like Haloween lights, because the glow is orange. All in all, I am luke warm on this product. UPDATE: The lights faded greatly since installed. I think I will replace them this spring with a better product.

Hi. We like these lights. They are pretty and look nice in the yard. However, right out of the box only 3 of the four work.

When we received the lights they were pretty easy to put together. When my husband put them into the ground, one of the top portions fell off. There are screws on the bottom that are very tiny and easy to lose, but you must ensure that they are screwed on properly. There were a couple of more lights that ended up falling off as well during a rainstorm one night. They serve their purpose, although some of the batteries were already dead when the lights arrived and had to be replaced.
Amazon worked great though, the lights arrived here in a very short time!

Its only been a few days since they arrived, so I can not speak for the durability of the product beyond that. However, they are very solid far and I'm picky, we are very happy.. In fact, we are so happy that I just bought another 8 (as we did last time) to complete the back yard. These are classy little lights with EVERYTHING you need included, and then some.

If you are looking for a way to truly cast light on the surface such as a walk way, these stand a good chance to disappoint you as their light is fairly isolated to 2 feet, or there about, around the unit and the light level at that point is very, very low for navigation.. That being said, they do give off enough light for the unit to be seen from a good distance away very clearly.

Over all, we wanted a quality solar light set to mark the walkways from the street to the back yard and liven up the garden spaces - these are exceptional at that job.

Good set for the money. The add did not mention that batteries came with the set so I purchased batteries when I didn't need to.

I purchased 3 sets of these lights based on the positive comments on this site. Out of 12 lights, 3 do not work. That is a pretty high failure to recommend this product.

They look great, but only three of our four lights worked. The three that do work, work great though, and last 4-6 hours.
