Duracell Lighting 45 Lumen Solar Garden Pathway LED Lights, Silver

Purchased these lights after extensive reviews. They are certainly lights and not markers as the small ones sold very where. I have been using them on the 10 hour setting, where they operate for about 6 hours, this being the time it gets dark to the time it gets light at this time of the year. I have tried the 6 hour setting, but the light output seems only slightly higher, with only 4 hours of operation. On the 10 hour setting ther is still some charge left in the battery, which helps on dull days. The Battery used in these lights is Lithium Phosphate, which an output of only 3.2 volts compared to the normal 3.7 volts for normal Lithum Batteries. It also requires a special charger which is not available in this country yet. I cannot find one other than on American sites. Do not attempt to charge the battery in a normal charger or you will ruin it. The benefit of these type batteries is that they will last about 2000 charge cycles(7-8 years), compared with normal cell of about 500 cycles. I would suggest the lights are used from March to October as otherwise the batteries will never fully charge. The pool of light is about 8 feet in diameter, so 4 light would safely light a 40 foot footpath. I have already ordered another 2 lights. I have now purchased a further two lights. All the metal work is Stainless Steel, including the piece which pushes into the ground , so they should not rust. When the Sun is on them all day i am now achieving over 8 hours of light between dusk and dawn on all the lights. The light controller must be accurately set as all the lights turn on in a 2 minutes period.

These are really high quality and bright as feature lighting around my patio. So much better than all the ones I have had from garden centres over the years. Could do with less packaging ...

This Duracell garden light features a photosensitive cell which charges a small battery under direct sunlight, then automatically switches at sunset to give out the light through small LEDs (light emitting diodes) until the battery is exhausted. In the early hours it goes dark, to repeat the cycle again when the sun rises. The tech is similar to a solar-powered pocket calculator, though the LEDs in the garden lights are obviously brighter. They are most effective in summer when the daytime sun is brighter, sunset is later, and you’re more likely to spend time in the garden during the evening.There are several designs of solar-rechargeable garden lights on the market. Here’s my brief experience of this one by Duracell.• The product is well designed and manufactured from good quality materials• It always works straight out of the box (we now have four in different parts of the garden and they all work 100%)• The photo-charging cell is on the flat top, the best place to get the sun• The ground spike is engineered from strong metal with four ‘wings’ to enhance stability when implanted; it’s easy to push into soft soil or a large earth-filled pot, but more of a challenge into gravel or stony ground• It looks cool• The illumination is surprisingly bright for a solar-powered unit• They seem to be storm-proof, as several downpours have not affected their working and strong winds have failed to disturb any of themThe gripe:• There are two settings: 6 hours and 10 hours; the settings are adjusted by a 3-way switch accessed by unscrewing the top. On neither setting does the light last more than three hours, and it’s usually no more than two before it goes dark. Admittedly the light is bright and when exposed to more than 12 hours of sunlight, the battery may hold more charge – but the ‘6 hours’ and ’10 hours’ settings are BS.Despite the failure to illuminate for more than three hours, this is a quality item and when you consider the price and durability, well worth the money and not likely to be a purchase you’ll regret.

Unfortunately, we were thwarted by the solar light. It's easy to set up out of the box. Comes in 3 pieces and needs to be briefly assembled. (Watch out for the spike hiding in the packaging as I nearly missed it) Instructions are brief. Allow it to be in the sun and get a charge up. There is no on and off switch but you can control the duration setting. As you can see from the picture on the first night we got a lovely glow. It does give off a rather unusual stripey pattern instead of a fixed glow. However on the second and subsequent nights it has failed to light up at all. Very disappointing.

Best solar light we have ever hadHas 2 settings so can be on for longer 8 hrs at lower setting but we like brightest for 6 hrs Good quality too

These lights are great for your garden. They are much brighter than most standard solar lights and if the weather is even quite bright during the day, the light lasts for a good few hours after dark. Even on a gloomy day they will come on for a couple of hours. They come with a sturdy post that sticks into the ground.

Superb garden pathway by Duracell. They re the ultimate reference in batteries, and they do not disappoint with this product. Very sturdy and easy to set up. Works well.ButThe limitation, like an other such items, is that the cells need SUN to recharge. Daylight is not sufficient. So can be a bit frustrating.Now in November in Kent, UK, the battery charges enough for approximately 1 or 2 hours use. So not recommended to illuminate a pathway during autumn/winter month unfortunately.Otherwise super.

They need a lot of sun to work.. the post don’t screw together very well..

Fanno davvero una bella luce! Peccato la durata.

War ein Geschenk für meinen Vater. Nachdem ich ihm im Jahr zuvor günstige 6er Pack Leuchten geschenkt hatte, die bereits nach einem Sommer draußen defekt waren, habe ich mich für diese entschieden. Eben hat mein Paps mir telefonisch mitgeteilt wie begeistert er von den Leuchten ist. Ihm gefällt besonders das Glas, welches stellenweise etwas dicker ist und dadurch ein schönes Muster auf den Rasen wirft. Auch die 2 Helligkeitsstufen reichen völlig aus. Einfach zu montieren, gut verarbeitet, akku vorgeladen kein Kunststof sondern richtiges Glas. Preis/Leistung Top!

In der Produktbeschreibung ist ein Bewegungssensor genannt, den es aber nicht gibt. Dieser Sensor war mein Hauptbeweggrund zum Kauf der 4 Außenleuchten.Wenn mir jemand dabei helfen kann, den Sensor zu finden, behalte ich die Leuchten.Wenn nicht...

Die eigentlich sehr schöne und qualitativ sehr hochwertige lampe hat von alllem anfang an nicht funktioniert und lädt sich auch nicht auf. Das sollte bei einer so renomierten firma wie duracell eigentlich nicht passieren zumal ich nicht die einzige unzufriedene kundin bei amazon bin.Vielen dank aber an amazon für die schnelle und unkomplizierte rückvergütung des kaufpreises!
