This is going to change the way you use your patio in the evenings. The lights are built right into the umbrella spreaders . . . all six of them . . . as well as another light at the very top of the underside of the umbrella. The solar panel on top of the umbrella will collect the suns rays all day long to create a warm glow of light when the sun goes down. It also features a manual on/off switch should you want to reserve your solar power for another time. It uses rechargeable batteries to hold a full day of solar power as well. The beige umbrella has UV inhibitors built into the material to prevent fading. These 24 super bright LED lights will transform your patio into a center for ongoing family and friends gatherings. The 2 piece metal pole is adjustable for heights up to 71 inches tall and the umbrella is 8 feet in diameter. Weight 18 pounds.

3 Stars Disappointing performance, not much pumping power
I was a little disappointed in the pumping power. In full sun the pump will lift water into the air but not enough for the modest water display I had planned.
2 Stars solar pump
the pump has never work on the battery back up and has stopped all together after ~7 months.

Motion Activated Solar Floodlight is designed to reduce Energy bills. The Solar panel recharges the battery to ensure that the 13 watt Halogen bulb comes on every time. The Motion Sensor then controls when the light comes on and provides security to the consumer. The combination of both of these technologies create one of the best products in the market today.

1 Star Poor Quality
It worked great for a month and then died. The quality is poor and I would avoid it. It is a waste of money. I tried to get it fixed but that was a dead end. Look for a different solar light that is rated better than this.
1 Star great customer service, but poorly made product
As with the other posts, my first one worked until it rained. Once it rained, it began to blink on and off continuously. I had to manually turn it off. They sent me a second one and it worked great, until the next rain. It did the same exact thing, except only blink rapidly when motion was detected. I bought it at Lowe’s and am out of the 90-day return policy. So I emailed the company for a refund letter to Lowe’s, or a replacement so I can put one INSIDE my shed.
3 Stars worked for a while…
It worked great for about a year then started making very odd clicking noises and wouldn’t work. I’m just assuming it’s the battery. I thought of replacing it, but it’s nearly impossible to order a replacement battery! Just nuts…
5 Stars Cooper Solar Floodlight
GET THIS GREAT LIGHT. I read all the poor reviews, but they are wrong. I bought this light at Lowes, missed the sale, but bought it anyway. I placed it about 10 feet up on a barn, pointing down to a nearby gate to my dog pen. I spliced in some extra wire from the solar charger to the light, the light and charger are about 25 feet apart. The solar panel is attached to a South wall of the barn and gets lots of sunlight. I have had this for six months, and it works wonderful. I have set the motion detector pointing up high, so the dogs will not set it off very often. I have adjusted the sensitivity also to keep the dogs from setting it off very often. I need the light to come on when I unlatch the pen gate at night. I have it latched in three places, so it is not a quick job, expecially with excited wet noses pushing up against it. This light has never failed me, even in heavy rain. I may need to wave my arms a bit, to make it come back on after shutting off, but that is no problem at all. The primary thing that I need is the light to be bright to let me unlatch the gate, and then when I am leaving the pen, I hook up three of my dogs onto leashes (is that the way to spell it) and I need the light to let me find their collar rings to latch onto. Then, with the three dogs outside, pulling on me, I need the light to be bright to let me latch back the gate at the three places, to keep in the dogs that I leave behind inside the pen. I notice that the dogs do sometimes set off the light when they are jumping around by the gate, but not often enough to ever run down the battery. The light has never failed me. However, I must admit, when I first spliced in the longer wire between the solar panel and the light, I reversed the wires, and the light did not charge very well. I then switched the wires, after about a week, and it made a huge difference. Once I did have a correct connection, the LIGHT HAS ALWAYS CHARGED AND WORKED EVERY TIME THAT I NEEDED IT. This is a bright light, and it is excellent. I have had this working very well for six months so I decided it was time to enter my review. GET THIS LIGHT, IT WILL SERVE YOU WELL.
1 Star Beware of this product
I bought this and installed it. Easy installation, looks impressive. It started flashing off and on and I haven’t been able to use it since. I do not have any contact information to get technical help in learning why this occurs. So now it does not work at all.
I am dissappointed that a product as simple as a light bulb cannot be sucessfully operated with solar technology.
