5 out of 5 stars I LOVE THESE LIGHTS!   October 11, 2008
I mounted these light above my front door with the screw base mounts. They light the area perfectly!
Even on cloudy overcast days, the batteries charge.
My only gripe was that the wires were WAYYY to long for my use. A snipper and eletrician tape took care of that!
Will buy several more soon.



1 out of 5 stars NOT GOOD !!!   October 11, 2008
10-10-08

I bought 2 packs, 3 in each. Granted it is October in Massachusetts, the North East, I expected a little more from this product. One light can very dimly light up a 2ft by 2ft hanging sun garden decoration, about 4 feet away. And I mean DIMLY. Same with my back gate, very dimly lit, but I can see the gate, but I wouldn't use just one light for either of gate of the decoration if you really want to see. I would suggest all three on any item; plant; tree; door; etc. if you actually want to see it. I would not use the "flood light" to face down, to make a walk way light up, this seems to do even less. I suggest, placing them every few feet, facing a fence that surrounds a yard, which will in turn light up the outer area surrounding the yard. But do not expect any actual "flood light" you can get from using your regular 40 watt light you can plug in to a timer or any outdoor outlet.

I havent placed the 'Malibu Super Bright Solar Lighting' 4 pack pathway solar lights, but I am hoping that the 360 degree expression of light may work better for walk ways, in front of paths, or near garden sculptures.

I am not a "plant" of any sort, and I rarely post a comment unless I really like an item, or really am not happy with an item.

I am really not happy with this item.

Final note, I live in the city, so I have a fairy small back yard garden area. It is about 20 feet by 20 feet, and in my calulation, it would take about 6 lights on three sides to actually make an impact like my low voltage garden lights I used in the past.

I am trying to be more "green", but I wonder if I am just defeating my purpose by buying so much plastic solar lights, and wondering if using my old low voltage lights would be less detremental to the earth, or just using 4 or five 40 watt flood lights on timers, where only 1 or two are on at a time.

Anyone know how I could find out this information?

Thanks in advance.



2 out of 5 stars Inconsistent Performers   September 30, 2008
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I bought 4 sets of these at an Amazon sale a little over a year ago. I found them to be highly variable. One set is terrific and continues to perform well after a year. Another initially worked well but now has only one remaining light working (not a bulb problem as I have switched terminals to no effect) but at least it is bright. The other two sets do not work at all. I tried replacing the batteries with high end Sony rechargeable AAs to no avail. I sent an email to Malibu about the problems I have had with these lights over 6 months ago but never received a reply.


5 out of 5 stars Works great   September 29, 2008
Needed a light to accent my climbing rose bush to keep the rose beetles off. Wanted enough illumination to keep the bugs off but not so bright that the light would shine into the neighbors window. Had single solar lights that were too dim. These are much brighter and cover more area. Getting another set and the whole bush should be covered. Just what I needed.


5 out of 5 stars Best there is, change the batteries though.   September 19, 2008
I have had this set for almost a year now. I replaced the three AA batteries with Duracell 2650mAh rechargeable, after the first two weeks. These are installed in a dog kennel (built as a horse barn). The solar panel faces south. The lights remain constant bright until the sun comes up and shuts them off each morning. I spliced in longer wires for each light so the distance from the solar panel is about 20 or 25 feet for each one. The light does not attract any bugs, no flies, knats, moths, nothing. Each individual light is directed into a different room of the kennel, and gives enough light that no additional light is needed to get around safely. I have electricity in the kennel, with flood lights installed also, but don't use them every time I go in there. These solar lights provide enough light for the dogs to get around safely at night, see their food bins, and water buckets, and I have one enclosed room for them (with electric heater) and the solar light I have in there gives them light all night. Mounted about 7 feet up, these lights do not give a light bright enough to distract from sleeping, but do easily provide enough light for safe walking around. Some mornings during the winter months they are dim, but these are during cloudy days, of several in a row, and most winter mornings the lights remain bright. Using the
Duracell Rechargable 2650 mAh batteries make an improvement in their length of time. I have tried other brands of solar lights, these are without a doubt the best ever. After 10 months of recharging in the solar pack, I have not yet needed to replace these Duracell 2650 mAh rechargeable batteries. Get these solar lights if you want bug free, bright blue-white light all night long, night after night, but I would replace the three AA batteries with the Duracell Rechargable 2650 mAh batteries to be sure of the best possible performance.
