Cheap Gama Sonic Solar-Charged Illuminated Address Light, Green LED #GS-80

Customer Ratings:

We have a dark street and seeing the address on the house at night was just about impossible. The green Solar Address Light solved that problem. It really stands out. My only complaint is that the plastic frame that holds the numbers into place is really thin. It has warped and lets the numbers slip out of place. I am sure the warping has something to do with the several 100+ degree days we had this summer. I am anticipating having to super glue the frame so that it will stay flat and not let the numbers move around.

This product might light up. It might not. Unfortunately, I don't know because in order for me to mount this sign so that it will charge via the sun, I would have to place it in my back yard. The solar panel is helpfully angled to get the most from the oncoming sun, but if the sun is shining at it from the back of the unit, the panel is in perpetual shadow. The solar panel itself is not sensitive enough to charge from ambient light, so I have yet to see it light up even once.

Granted, this is entirely my fault as I didn't think this through when I ordered the product. It would be nice if there was a separate solar charging accessory that you could mount somewhere convenient and then run a wire to charge the internal battery. Ah well, maybe in version 2.0.

Otherwise, this is a pretty decent product. The construction quality is good, the instructions are clear and it doesn't feel like a cheap piece of plastic crap. It comes with five copies of each digit and installing them takes minimal skills. I haven't tried the included hard stakes, but I was able to screw my sign into a yard post with little problem.

Everyone in my neighborhood has asked me where did I get this house numbers sign. At night it shines brightly, during the day the numbers are large enough to read from a distance. Several people have purchased the same sign. It is so great to have. In an emergency at night I don't have to worry anymore about my home being located. I highly recomment it.

Plus We live on a dark street. A neighbor called 911 one night which got a fire engine in front of our house so they could get a bearing on the street address ranges since our Solar Address Light was the only address visible.

Minus It doesn't take direct sunlight well. Ours is mounted on the provided stakes in the ground in front of the house. The numbers have yellowed and the thin plate that holds the numbers has warped allowing the numbers to fall out of place. I would recommend if you purchase this product that it be mounted on the house where it is a little better protected from the elements.

The unit works very well even in sunless Seattle. However, I bought the same unit from Amazon about four years ago. A couple months ago, one of the five lights behind the numbers went out. So I ordered a new one, as I did think it worked great before the light burned out. I tried ordering two times and each time there was a problem. The first time the housing was cracked. The second time, the unit did not come with any "blanks" needed if your house number is less than 5 numerals. I returned both and gave up. I did figure out I could move my blank on my old unit and use the four remaining good lights, as my house number is only four digits. So I'm getting a little more life out of the original unit.
