Great pathway lighting!
Color: Bright White Accent Light
I have several different types of Gama Sonic solar lights but these pathway lamps are by far my favorite. They are simple to install, look really great and are quite effective. The solar collectors work very well and the lights last (I have them set to low) through the entire night. I think this is probably the best product that Gama Sonic offers.

We really like these!!
Color: Bright White Accent Light
Easy install. Seem to be made well. They work well lighting our path. It's nice you can use your foot to push the stake in, but be careful, somehow a piece broke off of the end when we did. It's okay, we still were able to make it work, just something to be aware of. It'd be better if they made that part from metal. Otherwise they seem sturdy and were hoping they last well. Solar is a fabulous thing. Lights up our nights!!

Disappointing
Color: Bright White Accent Light
Terrible. I bought a lot of these, thinking they would be better quality, since they cost more than most of the other solar lights on Amazon. But they rarely all work -even in summer after some of the sunniest days. (Yes they are “on”). My husband bought some really cheap plastic ones, made by another brand, which average out about 2 dollars a piece and those actually work great.

Bought 4 - burned out in 6 wks
I paid full price and purchased four of these; within six weeks one was inoperable and won't turn on at all. Dead. One other is barely hanging on and two are still doing okay. Given the price, I'd expect far more.
