2 Stars Ehh….
I wanted something for my garage out in the back yard, thought this would be great since there is no power out there. The light works fine, for now, but it is bovious that it is not constructed well at all. It is no very bright, but enough so you don’t trip over stuff. It was very easy to install, and yes, they should have given instructions as to what to do with the metal rod. Took me a minute to figure out that it is an optional brace for the solar panel. If it cost any more, I would pay for the shipping to return it. I would NOT buy another one from this company, but DO PROMOTE the use of solar power in any way possible.
5 Stars Solar light
I purchased this light to put in our outhouse at camp in Upper Michigan.
We do not have electricity at camp and I thought this would be worth a try to get some light. Installed it this summer and it has been working fine since then. On the low setting , 5 LED’s, it gives off enough light to take care of business and even read by. The high setting, 10 LED, is better to read by and plently light to light up the outhouse. I was so pleased with how it work I purchased a second on for the storage shed.
3 Stars Decent and convenient
The light isn’t the brightest but it serves its purpose. The package was a little beat up and there was a crack on the light. Since the light works and it was only cosmetic I kept the unit. I have it in my closet since I don’t have any lights there. Having an older house I drilled a hole through the wall so I can attach the solar cell(mounted on my window)to the light inside my closet. The only thing that really bugs me is the angled adapter that plugs into the light. This made it difficult for me and I had to make a larger hole than what I expected to get the power cable through. I figure that if I re-build my room I can install this unit in my shed at a later time.
4 Stars Hit or miss
I can see why there is a dichotomy with the ratings. We purchased two of these for our detached garage. One of the lights gives off a relatively bright light, enough to find one’s way around with ease at night. The other light was not as bright. The light has a hi-lo switch, and even on the ‘hi’ setting, the dud-light gave off only a dim glow. We did not return it for another light because after the hastle of installing this light with the solar panel on the roof, it didn’t seem that important to us. For future purchasers, remember to give it a test run before installing.
1 Star Still in the dark
This was a disappointing purchase. First of all, nowhere either in the ad or on the package does it iindicate how much light it gives off. Second, my 10 x 10 shed is still relatively dark.

5 Stars one small bug…
Ok, first let me say that i have these on a lightly wooded 3.5 acre lot.. only in the back so call it 2 acres. I have the perimeter lined with 10 of these units and just ordered 10 more. The range of the motion sensor..is about 30-40 feet. I think the amount of light is good for a solar light. Mounting was easy, I do agree that there is not a lot of flexiblity but I didnt need any just hung them up. But here is one minor thing.. there does not seem to be any photo cell.. in other words.. these lights dont seem to know when its dark outside.. so they come on during the day when they see motion.. isnt this a waste of the batteries? I guess that adding a photo cell to fix this would add cost and be another thing that could break and lower reliablity.. so i still gave this light 5 stars..
4 Stars Inexpensive yet reliable
For the price this is an adequate light. Be aware that it’s illumination is typical of this type of bulb. Yet, it is reliable. The solar panel is not secure in it’s holder but, this is of rather small consequence to it’s over all functioning.
3 Stars not very flexible
this works as advertised, but it is not very flexible= the head does not tip down very far, and you can’t mount it upside down. To work around it, I mounted it face down which worked. Note that with the batteries included if you keep it set to stay on for a long time, it will kill the batteries quickly. One really nice thing is that the included rechargeable AA batteries are easily replaced/ upgraded to more powerful ones.
Side note- the head is rather large to accommodate a reflector, but since LEDs are a very directional light source, I don’t know how much extra output the reflector does other than make it bigger….
