REVIEW:
These lights are a good value for the money. They offer a long string of lights with various modes and they're solar powered. It's hard to expect more given the price. Some things I want to note are that the solar panel and stake are plastic. Please be careful when inserting in hard clay or frozen ground. Also, my experience with these solar products is that you will need to replace the battery after a year or two of regular use. If you use it only for the holidays, the battery might last longer. You can get a battery on Amazon or at your local big box store. I've replaced solar garden light batteries (essentially the same thing) with no problem. The battery typically lasts 6-8 hours per night. I deducted a star for some minor "issues". First, I would prefer a metal housing and stake and I would prefer a slightly larger capacity battery (battery is 1,200 mAh) for longer lighting than 6-8 hours. For the money, it's hard to argue with what you get though.

Nice idea. I would much rather have solar power for my holiday lights. Never would have thought of this. Awesome.
They are better quality solar lights than I've been accustomed to using. They're still inexpensive too. I have a couple others I'm going to test in the coming days. I'm looking forward to it!
