Over the past few years I have gone through several sets of solar fence lights for my 6 foot retaining wall. They each had their good and bad qualities. I recently purchased 16 beautiful metal fence lights that were very pleasing to the eye during the day, but they started dimming after 3 hours. I ended up returning them. I liked the ones previous to those but the battery was non-replaceable. So, I took a gamble with these. I wasn’t really that fond of the design but once I got them installed, they actually look really good. Here are the reasons I really like these. First, the solar panel is angled. Many of the ones for sale now have a leveled (flat on top) solar panel so they don’t get all the sun as it starts setting. The angled panels get every minute of available sunlight. Second, all the various settings. Multiple colors with fast, slow blinking or static settings. Or just plain ole white. And best of all, you don’t have to take off the top to change the settings like you do with other brands. Just reach your fingers into the open downside of the light and your on/off and color setting buttons are right there. This makes it super quick and easy. And third, the amount of time they stay on his incredible!! Yes, I have only had them for a few days so time will tell. They usually come on around 5:30pm (it’s late Nov.). I have looked outside each morning around 5-6am and all 16 were still on, bright as ever! They hadn’t even started dimming yet. I was shocked!! I am extremely pleased with these lights. They did cost a little more but I guess it’s true what they say. You get what you pay for. The photo I attached isn’t the best quality but it’s a static setting of various Christmas colors. And finally, the batteries are replaceable in these. I’ve found that sometimes it’s just cheaper to buy a whole new light but in case you cannot find the same style a year from now, just change the battery. Time will tell how they hold up through the winter and hot summer. But for now, I will really enjoy these lights. They are the best ones I have had in 4 years.
