Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Granted I have only had them for about a month, but I love these post lights. You are not going to read by the light, but in my mind they are only supposed to provide accent lighting and they do a great job of that. The only thing I cannot speak to is the length of life generally, but they are outstanding so far.
TYPICAL CONCERNS:
How Long To They Stay Lit?: I once got up at 3am and glanced out to see them still shining brightly. People will argue that they stay lit for so long because the batteries are only 1 month old, but the great thing about these posts are they provide access to change the batteries.
Do They Need Full Sun?: I have the caps on my back porch. The back of my house faces directly east (which means they only get sun till around noon) and there is alot of tree cover in my back yard. Three of the caps are out in the open while one is about 5 feet directly under a leaf covered branch overhanging my porch. The three in the open shine brightly all night no matter how cloudy the day is. The one under the branch shines brightly if it is a normal day, but if it is one of those cloudy and gloomy days it must not get any light between the branch and the clouds and it will either not light up or only lights up for an hour or so. For me this is an easy solution because I have wanted to cut the branch anyway, but if you have a HEAVILY tree covered back porch, solar lights might not be for you.
Do The Photocells Go Bad?: I cannot speak for length of life of the photo cells in general, but I can say that they have thus far withstood quite a bit of rain. I read reviews of other brand caps that said that after the first rain a couple of their caps photocells went bad. Mine have been through torrential downpours and have come through just fine. My plan is to wipe them clean with soapy water every now and then.
