Moonrays 91754 Richmond Solar Metal Path, 360-degree display and 120-degree beam angle of warm LED, 30 Lumens, Automatic Lighting, Rubbed Bronze Finish, 2 Pack, 2-Pack, 2

UPDATE: 6/19/20: THESE are still good solar lights. The only thing bad about them is the plastic spike that yiou hammer into the ground. I don't use those stakes. I use tall rebar that fits up into the tube and I have mine place high off the ground about 4 feet and it really throws the light around. Before I use them I know I have to tape certain areas especially onto the rebar stake so big winds do not blow apart them or off the stake. I have had some of mine for 5 years and the light and all works just fine. I do clean them every summer. On some when I first buy them if the lights aren't working I send them back until I get a set that the light (both LED lights) light up. Despite a few duds the ones that work have worked for over 5 years now. I will continue buying them. They are worth the money. 12/8/14 - I am still enjoying these lights. I love the glass globes because they hold up well to the weather. I also use some of them inside the house instead of outside for brilliant night lights in the kitchen and great room making it nice to easily see the entire areas during the night, even if the power goes out I have a constant light source at night no matter what. For these inside lights each morning I simply put the batteries in a charger and put them in the lamps before I go to sleep. The outside ones make a brilliant porch light. It lights up the whole area nicely. I make sure these lamps are used outside when I go away so I have lighted entrances if I return after dark.All my solar lights outside I don't use the plastic stakes that came with them because they are pretty useless and break easily pounding them in the ground. I have always used cut off rebar stakes instead. I pound them in and then I can easily put the lamp over these rebar stakes. I can also get the lamps positioned up higher which is nice because it throws the light over a larger area. These lights really do give off brilliant light. I still have smaller 6X Moonray solar lights around my circular driveway and they still have the original batteries. Unfortunately they had the plastic globes and they have fogged up. In the future these will be replaced by Moonrays solar lights with the glass globes. My 6X outdoor solar lights have been good for over 4 years old now. I live in the high planes of the White Mountains of Az and in order for solar lights to work well they need plenty of sun day light. The only time these lights don't last 6 to 8 hours is if I have had a rare all cloudy day, but they still usually come on for a good 3 hours even on rainy days. I have had very good luck with these certain Moonrays solar lights. I highly recommend them. These lights could be made more sturdy and sometimes our high winds will blow them off their stakes or loosen the batteries inside which is an easy fix, but truly I have had my driveway solar lights for over 4 years and they still work just fine. I think Moonrays have made these solar lights as good as possible and still keep the price reasonable. We all know good lights of any kind are expensive but these lights have held up through hot summers and winters below zero with lots of snow covering them. I think for the price they are pretty darn good.Now following is my original comments:This solar light really puts out the light. I use them inside the house during the night or when night and electricity goes out. It lights up a big room and near work space it gives enough light to work or read. It sure does! I use a real nice battery charger for the batteries during the day and they charge up pretty fast, but I have a very good battery charger for these kinds of batteries. My Charger charges 8 AA or AAA at a time. I have many other Moonray lights outside that the sun charges up the batteries during the day. These lights are also exceptional because they have a thick beautiful GLASS inclosure.****Take note on this particular pair of solar lights two times one of the lamps had defects. So 2 times I had to exchange them so check to see if your lamp is working properly before you unwrap all parts. (One of my lamps only had 1 led bulb and they should have 2 bulbs on each lamp. On one of my lamps it stayed on constantly because the light detecter didn't work. I simply sent it back and reordered a pair till I got 2 good ones. I have done that with all my lights but those sold by Amazon there is no problem exchanging them till you get a pair that is perfect. It is worth the trouble and Amazon make good on it. I wouldn't buy these lights from anyone except Amazon.I use these inside as stated above, but I tell people for use outside if you don't get enough sunlight like I do in the White Mountains of AZ don't buy solar lights unless you are willing to charge the batteries during the day. All the moonrays batteries that came with all my lights are the original ones and all my lights still work. I have been using Moonrays garden and solar lights for about 5 years now. Too bad they don't come with a stand I can plug the pole into inside the house. I have to use tall glasses and things to use as a table lamp and so forth.

I have been looking for solar lights for some time and most are rather dim as they have only 1 battery, less than 5 lumens. These Moonrays are quite different, 3 batteries with 30 lumens and the glass globe has curved panels so the light is projected farther and a cool look. As for mounting a lot of reviews say the stakes suck, which I will agree, although I didn't even try the supplied stakes. I think they are inadequate. One reviewer recommended rebar but I found a better way. You get PVC pipe, 3/4 inch sch 40. The sch 40 is much thicker than regular pipe and a tad higher but worth it as it is stronger. Cut at least 16 inches, the metal shaft is 8 inches so with a 16 inch piece, 8 inches will be in the ground. Go longer if you want the light more secure. The light mounted onto the metal tube will just slip over the PVC that is above ground, it's a perfect fit. As for getting the pipe into the ground, 2 ways. Take a 2x4 block and put on top of pipe and pound it down until 8 inches is sticking out. Your ground may be too hard, so I found an 18 inch pointed steel stake about 1/2 inch in diameter at Lowes for $2.74 that you pound into the dirt as deep as you want the pipe to go. Then wiggle it and pull out and insert the PVC and pound it with the 2x4 block until 8 inches is sticking out. Then just slip the light and tube over the PVC and you are done. Not only are your lights more secure, you can easily remove them when mowing, bad weather, or extended trips, and then simply put back on the extended PVC.Have only been installed for a week, but very happy with them and this setup with the PVC. I have noticed that if you don't get any sun during the day you won't have lights that night, one of the cons of solar lights. The LED light is very white light and hopefully will last a long time

I have 8 sets of these Moonrays, so 16 lights in all, that I've purchased over the past 20 months or so. I really do love them and keep buying more sets to light up different portions of my yard. They are bright and continue to glow throughout the night. Of course, by morning, their intensity has decreased, but overall I think they do really well ... and glow far better than any other solar lights I've seen. I also find that their brightness lasts longer during the summer than the winter, likely due to having more sunlight hours to charge. And they do work best when placed in an area that gets a good deal of direct sunlight throughout the day as opposed to being in a shady location. So far, 15 of my 16 fixtures are going strong. One of them, however, stopped charging properly. If I take the batteries out and charge them manually, the light will work, but that one fixture will no longer charge by the sun for some reason. And it turns out that the glass, though quite thick and strong, will break if you drop it!!! ;-D Also, weather elements will oxidized the finish over time. When new, they are dark brown and shiny. As they age, however, the finish will turn lighter, dull, and dry looking. Not a big issue to me, but it is a fact of what happens. I have not used the in ground stakes, so I can't speak for those. All of my fixtures are displayed either by sliding the tube provided over painted metal conduit pipe that's been hammered into the ground, mounted to our wooden fence using pipe grips, set into decorative jugs tucked into the landscaping, or by several other methods to give them some assorted heights and variety. The overall look is really nice and they do a great job of lighting up dark areas of the yard ... and they do their job without needing any wiring, electricity, or being manually turned on, which are the best parts of all!
