Received item with fully charged batteries. I thought this to be strange as it usually requires a full charge cycle before it can be used.
After I installed the product in the late afternoon it worked great all night. However the next day after a full day of sun the LED light only came on for less than 1 hour. Being an electronic engineer I decided to troubleshoot the problem and discovered that one of the two solar cells was only putting out .5 volts. .5 volts is not enough voltage to charge a 1.5v battery. Looking at the connection to the solar cell it appears that someone had tried to do a repair but was unsuccessful. Do to the design of the product the cell cannot be replaced.
I would not recommend this product until an improved Quality Control check was performed before it is shipped.

All plastic and no stake or way to place near the ground, this house sign is not likely to last long. The solar light worked (after charge) in the product I received. It does allow someone to see my house number in the dark from the street, but I'm not sure it is worth the money given the cheap plastic look of its design. Overall, very disappointed. Paid $20 on Friday.

purchased four of these house numbers. Very easy to set up. Placed one at front door and it gets a good charge in the shade and can be seen very well from road. Took two and mounted them to boards and placed them at angles at end of driveway and they work perfectly also. Ordered an extra one since the prior reviews were not very favorable. So now I need to find a place to put that one also.

I received this item promptly and well packaged. For the discounted price, I was extremly pleased with the product. It is a nice size (as described} and easy to set up. The reason I am not giving it a 5 rating is due to the "on and off switch". It is rubber covered for weather protection (great and expected) but it has been trouble. Due to the design of the switch combined with the rubber, I am unable to tell if I have the switch "on" or "off", but it is no longer working. It had been knocked over after a severe rain and wind storm, and due to switch I am unable to trouble shoot where the problem might be. But for whatever reason-it worked for 2 weeks and it is not working now.

PURCHASED THIS ITEM AND NEVER PERFORMED THE WAY IT SHOULD HAVE.....DOES NOT STAY LIT,EVEN AFTER CHARGING ALL DAY.....I EVEN REPLACED THE BATTERY WITH A NEW ONE....STILL NO CHANGE....I DO NOT RECOMMEND PURCHASING THIS ITEM.

I bought two of these for my house and a rental I have. I had a lot of trouble getting them to work but they both did for about a month. Then the one on the rental stopped lighting up at night. I am going to try changing the batteries and see if that helps but frustrating that something would quit working that soon. There are other products coming out so will likely wait and try one of those I have seen them on the HGTV channel.

Bought this product to provide a more visible house number - especially at night. Our house is a bit off the road and it was difficult for visitors to see the house number we had. This product provides a good visible number both during the day and at night. It has a nice, bright white light at night that highlights the black numbers great. Happy with the results.

I purchased this solar address number set at an exceptional value of $9.99. We live in a not so well lit area and it is difficult to see house numbers at night. This item worked okay for 2 months and then it did not light up as well. Eventually it faded to no light. I thought it was a deal but after a few months I found out it was not. Don't waste your money.

Unfortunately, the product we broke when we got it. But the company replaced the light- so now I can say the product is fine, but it is always sad to purchase an item and not have it work.

Bought one of these several months ago for my Mom, and it has been working fine since then. It has full sun exposure for the morning, and runs about 6-7 hours with a full charge. Only complaint is that it is very "plastic-y" -- so far, so good, but it does not appear to be very sturdy. But, considering the price (bought it at a steep discount from the normal price) I'm very pleased with it. Just bought another for my Mom's neighbor who wanted one for her house.
