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...

Great, colorful and perfect in the garden setting. Be sure they do get a good amount of sunlight to charge. I had to move them around to a position of full sunlight or they do not charge well. Once fully charged they seem to last for about 4-6 hours.

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!

Thought these bugs would look cute amongst my flower gardens, but the butterfly has broken after only a few weeks. I would like replacement as I love the color changes and watching them changing colors st night.

These are darling little lights that add a cheery spot to a flower bed or walkway. My only complaint with them is that they do not charge evenly so one goes out before the others. I'd actually give it 4-1/2 stars but the system won't let me.

I got these as a gift last spring and they're bright and have worked every night for 6 months. I don't anticipate a problem at this point. The colors on each change randomly so no two stay the same color for long. We've had enough rain to drown them but they work just fine. Winter's coming and I won't be bringing them in so will comment later on cold weather.

Got this as an xmas gift. They haven't worked yet. I guess when you pay cheap for something, that's what you get.

I bought two sets to give to two different people. One of them had put hers up and said they are doing well and she really likes them. The other is in the process of moving so hasn't tried them yet. They arrived in time and were well packed.

A buddy gave me a set of three almost three years ago, and one finally died. I changed battery and still not working. The other two still changing colors. I bought a second set about two years ago and all three are still working nicely. They do change color and add nice feature to the yard or garden. Not a lot of light is given off, but not intended as a pathway light. I am going to order a third set for near my waterfall. Good deal, all told.

Product arrived broken (wings) and does not work, not charging. I hope I am not being charged for this item, or please replace. I really want them, but too bad they dont work.
