Yes, I saw the reviews. Yes, I believed that I, Mr. Amazon could magically make the light work for an extended period of time since I am an Electrical Engineer. Yes...I was completely wrong. I wasted my money. This light is a joke. Believe the reviews. You have been warned.

Like any LED based night light, this isn't incandescent bright, but it's bright enough to expose an otherwise totally dark area. Plus not having to hook it up to the home wiring makes this/these products hugely convenient, esp. in locations away from the house.

This product worked exactly as expected/hoped plus is less expensive than other versions, which is good combination of factors.

I purchased this item for a section of my yard where I do not have electricity and needed some light at night therefore the solar option was ideal resolution instead of hiring an electrician to run electrical to this area. This product was very easy to install (less than 5 minutes) but the light is very weak. It puts out a glow that is probably about 60 - 70% less intense than a conventional electric motion sensor light that uses standard bulbs. Does it provide light? Yes, for about 20 ft. max. After 20 ft then the light gets too weak to do much good and it is a blueish glow instead of a bright white. It barely fills the need I have to light a specific area that is not large but it pails in comparison to those who are used to the standard electric bulp type set up.

Great service from Amazon, as usual! However, this product is extremely unreliable. First unit stopped working after a few days and replacement unit failed after the first 2 hours. Ended up just getting my money back.

Followed the instructions exactly and this light worked for two nights, then started blinking and clicking during the day. Read the trouble-shooting portion of the guide that came with it and discovered the solar panel was getting too much light. Instructions were to "cover" part of the solar panel. Instead, I turned the solar panel so it wouldn't receive so much sunlight. That didn't help. So I took the light down, brought it inside and let it "rest" for a week. Carefully re-installed it and guess what? It worked perfectly during the day, but not during the night (at all)! Who needs a security solar light during the day? Not me. Now, after starting all over for yet another time, the light won't do anything at night, but still occasionally comes on during the day. I give up.

This solar motion light gives greater brightness and has lasted longer than one we paid 3x the amount. We plan to buy several more as we expand our bed and breakfast.

POOR CONSTRUCTION. FLIMSY SWITCH. HAD TO RETURN THE FIRST ONE AS IT NEVER WORKED OUT OF THE BOX. . THE REPLACEMENT QUIT WORKING AFTER THE FIRST RAIN IN LESS THAN A MONTH. DO NOT KNOW IF THERE IS A WARRANTY AT ALL TO THIS PRODUCT. STAY AWAY

4 of the 5 leds no longer work after only a month and the one that does work blinks constantly

Followed instructions but item did not work. I should have listened to the reviews! Good customer service on the refund though.

out of 7 I have had after a month only 3 work...poor support from manufacture, no contact info I have to look it up and then call information for the phone number, the phone is not on box, website or manual...cheap junk....stay away....
