SOLAR BASICS SBG2-145 DC Pathway, Dual Bright/Warm White Bulb Solar Landscape Accent Light, 2-Pack, ORB Brown, 2 Count

they look great but only 2 out of each set work. Out of 3 sets I have only 5 working now. I will never buy again.The batteries are very very exspensive so if you want a light to look at buy them and if you want a light that lights up do not buy.

Really like these Solar Basics SBG - 145 DC Pathway Lights. They use rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, which is a big plus. Another plus is the 50 lumens light with dual bright/warm white bulb setting with just a flip of the switch. The solar panel and upper light fixture are well made and sturdy. The upper light fixture uses a sturdy aluminum frame with a sturdy glass globe. The extension tubes are about 6" and are about 1.25" outside diameter thin gauge aluminum. Because the extension tubes are thin they feel a bit cheap, but with the 1.25" diameter and with the end inserts in them they become sturdy. I wish that the extension tubes were about 3" longer and just a little more thicker, but they still work well. The stakes are plastic and they work OK, but I wish that they were aluminum. I could not find the stakes at first, but after looking very closely I found that they were stuck into the extension tubes. Make sure you pull out the stakes from the extension tubes before contacting customer service. The shipping box was flimsy and they could use better packaging. Now only time will tell how good they really are. I would recommend these pathway lights to a friend. Good Job Solar Basics!

We purchased a set of 8 in October 2019 for $186. As of this review, the price has been cut in half. Bravo! PROS: -they look really nice, and appear to the casual observer to be high quality -dual white or warm light optional settings (we prefer the warm) -easy to install (compared with low-voltage hard-wired types) -attractive oil rubbed bronze finish -clear, high quality glass lenses -on/bright deep into the evening; at our home, they usually come on about 7pm (Spring/Summer), and remain on well past midnight -easy to keep the solar panel clean (simple rinse with a hose, or wipe with a damp rag occasionally) CONS: -flimsy stems (both in-ground and the metal tubing themselves) -short battery life (we have replaced 4 of the 8 solar batteries so far, and they're $30 apiece!) -overpriced (at the time of our purchase; the new/reduced price is much more in line with their quality) RECOMMENDATIONS: -buy them only if the set of 8 is under $100 (overpriced, otherwise) -be prepared to buy a replacement battery or two periodically (you'll know when a particular light turns off earlier than the rest): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081H3CQMM -buy and use galvanized spikes as the base for the tube, rather than the supplied cheap plastic stakes; like these: https://www.amazon.com/Grip-Rite-Prime-Guard-8HGSPK/dp/B000BD6ELU

Nice light output provided the panel is charged in direct, unshaded sunlight. With overcast conditions they do not fully charge and the light might stay on only a couple hours. If charged all day in strong direct sunlight, our lights last almost all night. The plastic rod used as a base is frail in cold or freezing weather. A couple of ours, placed along a path cracked in half just below the light as we shoveled snow after a recent storm. It seemed to take very little force to break them. UPDATE: After a couple months, 3 out of 4 are broken at the bottom of the light where it connects to the base rod.

one light would not work. the other 7 worked pretty good.

Super disappointed with these! We bought two 8 packs-one light arrived completely shattered (the box wasn't damaged, but hey not a big deal we have 15 more and I figured I only needed 12 total) My husband was excited because these were 50 lumen compared to the 10 lumen lights we were replacing. So after a few days of direct sunlight (we gave it 3 days just to make sure it wasn't user error...not enough time to warm up or direct sunlight/I also double-checked all of them to make sure the internal switch was on) we have 4 lights out of 15 that actually work! 4!?! I am not sure if they were damaged during transit, but regardless-no light, not even a soft dim, nothing. We're super disappointed and just a waste of time/energy/and money.

I really enjoyed the ease of assembly and the light produced by theses lights. I put them in and waited 1 week before I pulled out my old Pathway Lights. UPDATE: After using these since I installed them last September one of the lights stopped working. I contacted Amazon and was told that it out of warranty for them to replace it. I did receive a credit for the one item. I do not think that Amazon should be doing business with a manufacturer who cannot be contacted. The 2 year warranty is worthless.

The lights appear to be good quality, but I ordered two sets of 8, and 7 of them don't work. Four don't come on at all and 3 barely light. I allowed a couple of weeks to get them fully charged in full sunlight, but that did not work. I cannot find a link to tell the distributor, so I guess I am stuck with them. Unfortunate.

Mala calidad, me salieron 3 lamparas con la bateria dañada Solo dura encendida por aprox dos horas.
