Duracell GL001BP2DU Outdoor Solar Lights LED Garden Pathway Lights, Black Plastic, Pack of 2

I bought this items a couple of weeks ago. These 2 solar garden lights are pleasant from an aesthetic point of view (being made of real glass and not plastic is great). Plus, they are very easy to assemble. The lights brightness is good and they do recharge during the day time, but the main issue is the battery’s longevity, which is not very good – by 9/10pm both lights are off.

The solar lights are easy to assemble and are from high quality. However, the advertised size of 616mm total length is actually roughly 490mm. Too small for me and returned to Amazon.

This is a good-looking set of two LED lights for the garden, which are solar powered. The instructions for assembly miss out a couple of steps: there is a bolt and nut that need to be inserted into the glass before the post is attached. I think I worked out how to do it and the light has gone together okay, it just would have been useful if that step had been covered.Build quality is good and a mixture of glass, metal and plastic and a step up from other lights I’ve had in the past. The stake is about 16cm long, so anchors securely into the ground; the lamp stands about 34cm high (total height therefore 50cm, including the stake).The rechargeable batteries need to have several charge and discharge cycles before they will reach full power and length of illumination. Unlike other solar lights, these must be switched to either 6h or 10h to charge – not OFF. You can choose either 15 lumen output (6h) or 12 lumens (10h); if you choose the lower output the light will last longer. In the UK, we can expect between 4 and 10 hours of light depending on the time of year and cloud cover.The LED output is very bright, a good white light that illuminates for about a metre radius from its position. At this time of year, the positioning of the light is crucial to get the best and longest output; it won’t charge well in the shade.I have been sufficiently impressed by these that I have already ordered six more. They are a real step-up from alternatives and the build quality is good, so they should last longer.Update - I have knocked a star off as quality control is all over the place. I have purchased two further sets but both needed to be returned due to faults such as a cracked solar panel and an Ill-fitting battery cover. The lights look great but quality control currently isn’t.

I've bought several pairs of these lights. I really like them. They look much more high-quality at night than the cheaper sets that come with more lights. Lovely, warm-white light that spreads out in a rather fetching pattern.The cheap ones look too blue and cheap! These are worth the money.

This is a good, solid, quality product that won't blow over in the slightest gust of wind, as the glass weighs it down and it is easy to place in the soil. Assembling was initially a bit of an intelligence test, as the instructions didn't make it clear where every part fitted. However, it wasn't that hard and once I'd worked it out, the second one took under a minute to put together, Five stars for the product itself.

These lights were not the cheapest or the dearest BUT I did expect some spark of light!!I had to pay out for new batteries and they still only come on for only 30 mins then back to the dark, not what you have to pay for a decent solar light and where you get one.

Good quality but 1 didn’t work took battery cover off connections rusty & battery dissapointed

Great light
