Great solar LED lights
So I've been looking at the reviews for this item. The first thing I don't like is that multiple variations show up under the same review list, but that's on Amazon. However, after reading the myriad of reviews, it's fairly obvious that people (on the negative side) have no experience with outdoor solar lighting. They give the product a bad review when they don't really understand how solar lights work. First, this solar charger has 2 switches..on/off and the modes. If you install them, charge them and they don't turn on, it probably just needs to be turned on. As far as how solar lights or anything solar works, there HAS to be a battery to charge during the day so they work at night. Saying "they're truly solar" doesn't make any sense. Theres a rechargeable battery somewhere. As far as "shutting off when a car goes by (at night) that's because the solar panel and the light sensor are on the same plane. If you aim the panel where the sun is and it's also facing the road where cars go by, they'll turn off when light hits it. My suggestion for those people is to flatten the panel more horizontally, so car lights don't affect function but still collect light during the day. Also, LED doesn't dim when the battery gets low...they're either ON or OFF. if they don't charge long enough for whatever reason, they wont stay on as long. For the money, these are the best on the market. I've had several solar spotlights and other lighting for the last 7 years, all from various manufacturers. I'm guessing somewhere around 70+ lights. These are pretty great comparatively.
