Solar Lighted Step Stone Green Square
April 3, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
Create a clear walkway through your garden with a stepping stone that lights up automatically at night. The Solar Lighted Stepping Stone provides a lighted path marker for lawns or gardens, and since its included batteries are recharged by the sun, no electricity is required. A built-in photo sensor automatically activates the light at dusk and turns it off at dawn. The weatherproof Solar Lighted Stepping Stone has the look of carved stone without its fragility. The 12.5-inch square stepping stone has four pre-installed amber LEDs that generate bright light all night long. Each long-life bulb will last over 100,000 hours. The built-in solar panel collects and converts sunlight into DC power every day while the pre-installed rechargeable batteries store the energy to power the light at night. The built-in sensor automatically activates the light at dusk and deactivates it at dawn. A durable, UV-protected resin coating on the stepping stone increases weather resistance.

5 Stars These are so much fun.
If you put them in all-day full sun, they will still be bright at 5 am. Otherwise they are very dim by morning. But they look like lightning bugs whenthey are dimmer.
5 Stars Very happy with dragonflies solar lights
I purchased these for a girlfriend in another state for her birthday. She notified me when it arrived and it was on time. She opened it when I arrived and item was packaged very well and it was unbroken. She already had the flower lights that is just like this item. We set the lights in the sun and they were working that night. She has a huge waterfall, foutain and pond in her front yard and these looked so adorable by it. They flicker off and on just like fireflies. For a really great look 2 or 3 in different places in the yard would look great!
4 Stars Dragonfly Solar Lights
Arrived very promptly as stated-Thank you. It is a christmas present so I have wrapped and hidden it!
5 Stars Bright sparkle dance right after sunset
It actually works, and blends nicely in the garden. We placed this inside a mound of purple fountain grass for an even more natural effect.
5 Stars A Must Buy!
This is a fabulous solar light. It is easy to assemble, bright, bug resistant, and unique. The lights flicker on and off individually giving the effect that fireflies are in the garden. I can’t tell you how many of my friends have commented on their beauty. They have transformed my garden into a magical place at night. That is why I say it is a “must buy.”

4 Stars Good Product, Expensive
I purchased these solar landscape lights 2 weeks ago to replace similar lights that I had purchased over a year ago that were failing. I have been very pleased with these solar lights so far. They have a sturdy construction, metal spikes with rubber bushings, glass bowls, and an attractive copper finish. They provide a clean, bright, white light that is comparable to my fixed 12V landscape lighting, and a vast improvement over the lights they replaced.
Pros: Bright LED lights, solar powered, automated (on at dusk, off at dawn), long lasting (I have check them as late as 9 hours after sunset and they have continued to shine brightly), well designed packaging, and sturdy construction.
Cons: The only detractor thus far has been the attachment of the solar cap (cover unit with the solar panel, batteries, and LEDs) being very loose, but I have yet to determine if that will cause a problem. They are also more expensive than many alternative solar landscape lights, but these are the best of the many types that I have tried, so perhaps that will make them a cost effective purchase for most.
Summary: I would recommend these solar landscape lights, they are well designed and constructed.
5 Stars Made my mother shed tears…
This was a Christmas present to my mother. She is retired, so she spends a lot of time gardening. Her self-landscaped “jungle” didn’t have good lighting throughout so what better idea would it be than to add some decorative landscape lighting? She was floored when she opened them, not only because of the secret, but also because of the over-all design. I ordered 2 sets since she has so much landscaping, and had I still lived in the area, all 20 would have been placed. Instead, she sent one set to me (I forgot to select that this was a gift when I ordered them, and the billing information was included, and you know how mothers are with their kids spending money on them…), insisting that I put a matching set at my house so we can make comparisons to our landscaping projects. All-in-all, the items arrived on time, in wonderful condition. I have yet to place mine out due to mostly non-sunny days, as well as she, so I cannot honestly comment on the workmanship…I am hoping for the best which will put a positive close on this holiday shopping experience!
4 Stars 4 stars for brightness/copper color, minus 1 star for plastic stake tips
I bought these about 2 years ago so I can attest to their durability. The main problem I’ve had with these is that they lean over, we have “lost” the plastic stake somewhere in the ground when they fall over (I can’t figure out why they just fall over). The black plastic part that you use to stick the entire things into the ground is not attached to the metal copper shaft and over the weather changes, can become very loose. I haven’t tried epoxy glue yet but we’ve lost numerous black plastic stakes because of this. I see that other sets also appear the same, so maybe this is a universal problem but you find that the only portion of the unit seated in the soil/ground is the black plastic part while the copper, heavier part is above ground. I think this is why they fall over so often. The lighting part seems pretty good except one of them quit working so I think they use a battery which needs to be replaced. I have a red brick front on my house with a rust colored storm door and brown roof, so I didn’t want silver colored landscape lights. I purchased these for an excellent price (better than Costco on special sale), but it cost me more then, than the price is today.
1 Star Good Solar Panel System with Very Poor Battery Brands …
I am sorry to report an entirely different and disappointing experience with the Global X, Beacon Series, Breakthrough LED Technology, 10 Piece Solar Light Set, Costco Item # 194764, Model # NXU-7302, Suitable for Exterior Application Only.
This review is based only on the “Battery-Brand”, not on the Solar Cell Top.
The LIPENG Battery Brand, Ni-CD, AA 900mAh, 1.2v. has failed in units I am testing on a daily basis. I wanted to test these before installing them in my landscaping, so they are set up out on my balcony. I check the battery strength by a Battery Meter.
If you replace the Battery Brand, with a quality name, they work fine.
Duracell, and Rayovac batteries, around 2,000mAh, seem to be doing fine.
Since there is no such thing as 100% perfect battery manufacturing, it seems sad that a quality solar system like this would choose to go to market with a 900mAh AA, battery(s), which do not exist in the US at your local Rite Aid, Home Depot, or Walmart.
Where would a guy go to find a 900mAh battery replacement? That’s my question to the Sales and Marketing Department of this Company.
For such an expensive set, why did you “cheap-out” on the battery(s).
Why not supply this system with Duracell, or Rayovac or something a guy can find a replacement for in case one or two go out? All brands will have a certain percentage of failures. The question is how difficult is it to find a replacement. Can I pick one up at Walmart, or Rite Aid or Home Depot and move on with my life?
The Solar Panel is impressive. The copper is impressive. The glass globe is impressive. The battery brand is sad. That’s my comments.

5 Stars Durable, super brite, stay on all night.
These are definitely worth the price. They are really brite and hold their charge all night. I have 10 and they look great around my patio. Durable metal and plastic housing is not cheap looking.
5 Stars Decor delight
We love the lights! We bought six to use in an outside stairwell. The lights periodically do not receive strong sunlight, yet, the low levels don’t seem to lessen the light output we get each evening. We can clearly see to walk in a dark stairwell without the worry of where to step next. Product price was reasonable. Product arrived in a timely fashion and in excellent condition. Having hard plastic in lieu of glass for an outside area allows us to use the product throughout the winter. We are extremely pleased with the product and seller.
5 Stars The Best
We have so many different solar lights and these are by far my favorite! They are very bright and hold its charge all night!
