So at first they were great....then after time I realized they didn't come on at times or didn't hold a solar charge very long. When They work they are great but that is far in between

The rod was hard to screw into the base. Note that if you want to use it as a planter you have to remove the base cover before attaching the rod. At first I couldn't get the light to work, the on/off switch did nothing. I re-read the directions which say you have to pull off the plastic tab, which I couldn't find. It also said there would be a red/green battery indicator, which I couldn't find. I pulled the top piece apart looking for the plastic tab, didn't find it, but found that the on/off switch wasn't in the right position to connect with the interior switch. I put the 2 pieces back together positioning it so the on/off switch connected and then the light went on. Success! Only problem is that now I can't plug the charger cable in because the input for the cable is now in the wrong position to connect to the interior charger. Disappointed. Will still use the base for a seed starter. Keep in mind that since this is solar ideally you want to use it outside and that's fine when using it as a light. But the planter area is very small and I'm not sure what type of outdoor plant would be appropriate for it.

These are working even in winter!

lighting is perfect on my outdoor fence.

I ordered an 8 pack and there were only six in the box. Also broken little plastic pieces were in the box and when I inspected the lights, some of them had broken pieces coming off already.

These outdoor solar lights were disappointing. The light they emit is so dull they barely appear lit at all. Absolutely hate them. Unfortunately by the time I opened the box and installed them outside, it was too late to return them so I'm stuck with them. Appearance wise, they are cute. But functionally, they are terrible because the light is so ridiculously dim!!! Wish I could get my money back!!!
