Customer Review: Great SOLAR LED lights
Summary: 5 Stars
As has been pointed out - these are LED lights powered by AA batteries - they will not replace your porch lights or your plugged-in landscaping lights. They will be no-where near as bright as incandescent or halogen lights. Their advantages: LEDs "burn" a long time, you will probably not need to replace the lamps. LEDs don't use as much power, so the same batteries will power them longer than incandescent, etc.
Some general notes about solar powered lights:
1) you need to place the panel where it gets direct light all day every day. This is key to recharging; more direct light means the lights will stay on longer at night.
2) Since they use batteries, which will need replacing, it's nice to get easy to replace batteries - AA NIMH are about the easiest to deal with.
3) self-contained lights are easiest, you can put them anywhere they get light. Light sets with a base and separate lamps allow you to put the lamps in shady spots, but you are limited by the cord length, as the base will still need to go in direct sun light, and the lamps will need to plug into the base.
About these lights in specific: I use these lights to light a 10' by 14' back porch. They have a base, and 3 lamps, each plugs directly into the base. I used the bolt-on installation adapters to install the lights under the porch roof and attached the base to the eaves. The base is in direct light all day.
The lamps are fairly bright. With my set-up, 3 lamps makes the whole back porch about 4x as bright as the full moon, just barely not enough light to read by. Getting full direct light all day allows the batteries to last all night (I installed mine in April; the batteries might not last all night in the dead of winter). I liked these well enough, I added two sets to light up the front porch and walk way. It's just enough light to not need the porch light, unless I'm expecting company.
Before installing them, I left the base in the sun all day, then connected the lamps at night, and walked around with them. This gave me a good idea for how bright they are and what distances they are good for. I strongly suggest making this kind of survey before installing the lights.
