5 Stars Great Accent Light
The simulated flickering candle gives just enough light for the walk through our yard without glare or cold color tones often associated with LED. The metal parts are not very heavy guage, but are of sufficient quality for a nice look, and should be more than adaquate for durability-certainly better than some plastic and resins I’ve seen at home stores in about the same price range. The “glass”-actually acrylic-panals are beveled, adding to the overall impression. Another better-quality feature is the on / off switch, and the rechargable batteries are easy to reach when replacement time comes in 2 or 3 years. My only minor concern is that the end of the hook does not have much of a bend and might not keep the light from sliding off in heavy wind. If necessary, a small crimp or set screw in the hook would probably be sufficient.
5 Stars Solor light
My son bought me one for my birthday and I loved it so I ordered a second one. We have them by our patio.

March 23, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
The Sunsei solar grip provides a flexible mounting option for the Sunsei SE400 solar panel or the Coleman CL300 panel. It conveniently provides both pole and deck mounting grips to avoid drilling into the roof of your vehicle or boat or into your deck or fence. The SolarGrip rotates 360 degrees to maximize your panel’s output by positioning your panel right at the sun. Use this grip with boats, RVs, farm machinery, electric fences, and more — it will mount just about anywhere. The box includes a 7/8-inch pole/rail mount, 1 deck clamp, 1 solar panel mounting assembly, and 1 multi-angle positioning arm. It is covered by a 2-year warranty.

4 Stars Solar Grip
This is a well made product and comes with enough mounting accessories to satisy most applications. I recommend this product, but it DOES NOT work with the COLEMAN CL-600 Solar Charger (both are ICP Solar products) as advertised. The COLEMAN CL-600 is several inches too long for this bracket. I was able to frabicate a simlple clamp for the panel which worked so I kept the mounting bracket and it is working well.
3 Stars Agree in general with other reviews
This bracket is expensive given the quality of the bracket. However, there are several versions of clamps included which is great….if they fit your needs. Like the other reviewer says, if your application requires a bigger size, these will do you no good. The included clamps should have bigger ranges and tolerances to be more adaptable. I would buy this again, as it is simpler than building something myself.
3 Stars Sunsei Solar Grip Solar Panel Mounting Bracket #SE-SG1 (
I’m using this on my boat like advertised but am baffled by the small size of clamp included for the stern pulpit on my boat. Almost all boats have 1 inch dia. pulpits and stantions. This is 3/4″ or less. It’s useless. However I did use the other with limited success.

3 Stars Not that bright and small
I thought somehow this was a bit bigger then it was, size of a grapefruit, was hoping for a larger one, you have to open the globe and select a color, red white or blue, it does not rotate thru colors.
5 Stars ssolar globe light
I had seen some solar globe lights in Germany and I liked them a lot, but was very hesitant to order one, since I didn’t know how different they would be. I was amazed! What a nice surprise, they look good, they work well and I would recommend them to anybody. They are a delight, each night I walk into my backyard.Sunterra 300420 Floating Solar Globe Light
3 Stars Nice.
While I like the globes, they didn’t come with any hardware, stakes, etc. so they could be placed in the ground. Other than that - okay.

4 Stars Soft blue light
Second one I have purchased. Instead of waiting up to three days for the sun to charge the batteries, I put them in a battery charger. Remember, this is a solar powered LED light. The only thing I can add is that i don’t have to pay for it to be on, even if it is not dark.
4 Stars Nice glow
Nice light, it’s more of a glow than a spot light. I’m sure the 80 bulb light is much brighter, but this one will do.
5 Stars I love it so far
I just installed this yesterday. I’m very happy that it uses AA batteries, which can be found just about anywhere these days. I bought this to replace a similar item that uses a hard-to-find battery and non-LED lights. The battery on that one died after a year. The old one was slightly brighter but not enough to be worth the extra initial cost and the cost of replacing the battery. I think I’m going to be very happy with this one.

3 Stars Okay, but not great!
These are okay if they are in a very, very, well lit area for the greater part of the day. If you do not get “direct sunlight” for at least 8 hours (manufacturer states only 6 hours)they will be extremely dim, or will not light at all. I had to move them from the original spot I had intended using them for, so they now work much better there.
If your looking for a soft look, not a dramatic light to your bushes or wreaths these are well worth the money. It is nice not to have to remember to plug in and unplug them every AM and PM. Not sure how much money we will save yet, as we have not had a Christmas electric bill to compare it too!
Hope this helps….
2 Stars Not brite light
I bought this for the walkway around my hut in Iraq. I couldn’t see a thing at night especially when there was no moon. I thought this would help, but one stream is not very long and not bright at all! The bulbs are tiny. My cigarette lighter provided more light. I had to get two more before it worked. The lights stay on for a good 8 hours. I guess this was better than nothing, as buying batteries for my flashlight was expensive and using lights with electricity was out of the question due to voltage conversion. I suppose this wasn’t what it was intended for, but be advised, it takes a lot of these to similate desired effect.
