3 Stars Just OK overall - replace the batteries
These are nice when they work, and look nice during the day, but the batteries that it came with were pretty bad (mine did not work). I suggest replacing them with some better NiMH rechargeable AA batteries. The light output is good for what it is, but don’t expect “bright” light as these are LED lights and run on 3 AA batteries. I think it would have been better to run on more batteries for a brighter light or a longer run-time. It didn’t take long for one of the glass domes on mine to break so it wouldn’t stay attached well, but to be fair I do not know exactly why (perhaps my son or some landscapers caused it to break). I was able to fix it by using silicon caulk to “glue” it and keep the glass from falling out. I’m a little concerned about the longevity of the lights but hopefully they will last at least a couple of years.
4 Stars Malibu Solar Lights
Nice lights that light walkway. There is an on/off swith and conduint that runs from panel to each liight. Very easy to install. Low light that is an accent not a flood light.
4 Stars Just enough to light the walkway
The lights are very low, but it was just enough to light our side yard walkway. If you are looking for something brighter, these won’t be right for you. Easy to set up and charge.
NOTE; Since I first wrote this review the price has gone way up! I paid $50 for my first set and then bought a second set in the Gold Box for $30. That is what they are worth. Not the $194.99 it is certainly selling for. Wait for them to go on sale.
3 Stars Customer service from Malibu is not good
I purchased two sets of these lights, both were DOA. I contacted Malibu for help, but they never fixed the problem. I had to buy new batteries for both, they now work, but three AA cells to power 8 bulbs, what were they thinking?? They are well made and very “cute” but are for looks only.
2 Stars Still working
I have had 2 sets of these for about 3 months. The construction is nice but the light output is too dim. They do not throw nearly as much light as I expected (had hoped for). I’m still waiting for solar/LED products to improve to become really useful. Best I’ve found are the Malibu 3-Pack Solar Landscape Plastic Flood Light Set with Remote Panel, Textured Black #LZ413 and the Malibu Outdoor Solar-Powered Tiki Torch Light, 2-Pack #LZ604R2.

The sun charges the batteries by day and turns on automatically at night with no wiring or cost to operate. The remote solar panel provides more power than typical solar lights and can be conveniently placed anywhere. With an oiled, bronze metal finish and bright white LED bulb, the four-light kit adds beauty, security, and safety to your yard. The tulips measure 21 inches tall and 10-1/4 inches wide.
What’s in the Box
Four solar-powered lights, two LED lights, three rechargeable batteries, a separate solar collection panel, and four 20-foot power cords.
About Malibu Solar Lights and Light Kits
Solar lighting is the safest and easiest kind of outdoor lighting to install. It provides sufficient light for entrances, walkways, steps, or to indicate the location of dark obstacles. This kit features a solar collector panel that converts sunlight into electrical energy. This energy is stored in rechargeable batteries that are used to illuminate the fixtures at night. Most solar products use LED (Light Emitting Diodes) as a light source because of their low power consumption and long life. LEDs are not replaceable, but their life expectancy typically exceeds 25 years, running 10 hours every night.
User Ratings and Reviews
1 Star Disappointing
The light shed by these lights was a barely 4 inch circle, not enough to illuminate anything. At best, these are accent lights, and even there they are questionable. I was horribly disappointed, as i wanted them to light a walkway.
5 Stars Outstanding
I’ve had these lights now for about 3 months. They add much character to our walkway/garden. They hold a charge very well, (at least 8 to 10 hours), and setting the single solar panel is a plus as you only need to find “one” sunny spot, to charge all 4 lights, which assures that all the lights maintain the same level of brightness thru the night. “AA” rechargeable batteries means i can easily replace when needed. Great product!
4 Stars Let them charge for a while for best results
I purchased 2 sets of these for $35 and am thrilled with the results. At first when I plugged them in, later that night, there was not hardly any light emmited from them, but I remembered from the other reviewer that you needed to let them charge longer, so I turned them off and let them have another 2 whole days in the sun before turning them on again at night, this time they had just the right amount of light, they look beautiful not cheapy looking at all, the color and quality of the rubbed oil finish is very nice. Another feature I really like is that since I purchased 2 sets I can link all 8 with just 1 solar panel. Overall this set exceeded my expectations.
1 Star I was so hopeful
that these lights would work in a shaded spot since the separate solar panel could be placed in the sun.
But after ordering 2 of these sets and setting them up, we found that the company sent the smallest size battery that could be used, and not the size that was recommended for this item.
After the panel sat in direct sun all day, we still had no glow, i put the batteries into a charger, charged them fully and we waited for the light, when dark came, the light given off by these was barely a tiny spotlight, from across the street you couldnt even tell we had any lights on.
Simply put, this is not an item i would recommend and in fact returned it.
4 Stars It’s OK, but can be more bright
I bought two sets of these at discount price. When they arrived, I tested them outside for two days and they worked well. I wish they could be more bright, but for this good price I couldn’t complain too much. Now I put them back to the box and store in the garage. I will start using them next spring.

4 Stars malibu outdoor ,one light solar powered metal lanterns
The reviews I read mentioned the short time these lanterns stay on at night, well in the northeast we don’t have much daytime uv in the fall and winter, so they preformed as expected, on for a couple of hours at dusk. I expect that next spring and summer they will be on for most of the night. What I didn’t expect and was pleased about it, was the beautiful light pattern that the glass cover produces on my deck. Over all with the understanding that these lamps are basically spring summer outdoor lamps, I’m pleased with the purchase and they are well worth the money I paid for them.
5 Stars Attractive
This solar lantern need to be placed in a sunny location. The light itself has a very pleasant color- pale bluish white- and is an attractive shape. I like the fact that the batteries can be charged by the user if the clouds are around for days.
3 Stars Garden Lights
These are beautiful to see during the day but give out very little light at night.
2 Stars Not worth it.
These lamps are very cute, but they don’t stay lit for very long.
Maybe a couple of hours at the most. Would not purchase again.
2 Stars Pretty but don’t really work!
I placed these lights on my porch, on the north side of my house, in wintertime. Even on the brightest, sunniest day, they don’t get enough sunlight (due to the low angle of the sun in winter)to light them for more than 30 minutes at dusk. I can’t imagine them staying lit for ten hours. Very disappointing. They should not have to be placed in full direct sunlight all day every day in order to light for longer than a few minutes.
It gets dark around 4:30pm here in winter - by the time I get home at 6:30 (and really need the lights!) they have already shut off.
Attractive to look at but almost completely non-functional for the purpose I bought them to fulfill.

1 Star NO LIGHTS YET!
A MONTH HAS PASSED AND I DO NOT HAVE MY LIGHTS. IS THERE ANYBODY TO TALK TO WHO COULD HELP? I WOULD STILL LKE TO HAVE THEM.
5 Stars Really Nice
These lights are the perfect addition to your landscaping. I have them all over my deck in planters, they illuminate just enough area to make everything look really nice.
1 Star Simply useless
Out of the 4 units: one did not work right out of the box and the other 3 lasted for no more than 2 hours a day.
1 Star Do not buy these lights at any price
Vladimir Vayntrub was right. These lights are worthless.
The plastic stakes do not attach to the lights… superfluous and worthless.
The metal pieces are accidentally crushed as you try to position them… flimsy and worthless.
The light is dim by design, no more than a tiny accent light… inadequate and worthless.
The lights that did function (3 out of 4) only did so for a day or two… defective and worthless.
Do not buy these lights at any price.
Malibu Outdoor One-Light Solar-Powered Tier Light, Black Metal, 4-Pack #LZ10131-4
3 Stars Not Great, Not Bad
They aren’t especially bright, and I’m skeptical of the amout of solar ussage (came with batteries installed).
Then again, it lights my walkway, which is what I bought them for.
And its not bad for the price.
