Solar Panels Garden Lights
Most driveways are long, dark and difficult to navigate, so we were excited to try these plastic, solar panel lights. They were a snap to assemble, and with no wires or power switch to worry about, I could place them wherever I liked and not fret over our monthly power bill.
The solar batteries charged just as well in the shade as in the sun, enough to provide power from sundown to sunrise. The white L.E.D. lights were not bright but provided enough output to safely navigate the driveway. The price was right, but for a few dollars more we could have bought the more durable metal solar lights.
For those who want high-quality landscape solar panels lighting, this isn’t the right thing. On cloudy and rainy days, some of the lights did not charge fully. They powered on in stages, leaving some parts of the pathway unlit for a few minutes, and some lights were dimmer than others. The same thing happened in the morning when they turned off. If you want quality accent lighting, low-voltage or professional landscape lighting might serve you better.
