Just about a month, all of them faded out in just a couple of hours, before 12 mid night in the summer time. Changed battery, wouldn't help. $10 lamp from Walmart, brighter, lasted longer, whole night, and two years, rain or snow, still shines. One star for product.

If all businesses in America operated like this, America would not have been downgraded. Here is what I received, BTW, where is the company originated, China, or US?

One of them died after about 20 months, internal parts rusted, I can't fix it. For your reference, the other $10 cheaper one still shine, one thing surprised me is that not only the light shine but also the parts screw shine like new after 4 years. That's very high quality parts used, yeah, it is made in China, so not all things junky from China.

I purchased three of these lights. They were fully charged straight out of the box, and worked as soon as I turned the switch to "on". The lights are hanging on my deck and add soft light in the area without attracting bugs. The cone shape of the plastic cover helps give the light a warm glow. I like the fact that I can remove the lights easily from their hooks on the deck and can carry them with me if I need some lighting to help me walk around the area without the yard lights on. I have had the lights for a month and am very happy with them. I plan to order more lights so that I can hang them on the front porch as well.

Best Deals for Hanging Solar Garden Light - Cornet Shaped Solar Lights, Solar Tree

I bought a number of different, "fun" solar lights and these are by far the brightest. Since they are pretty and versatile too, they are one of my top 3 picks!

On a scale from 1-4, where 1 = "decorative, but very dim light" and 4 = "extremely bright and well suited to light your way", I'd rate these at 5 (yes, that's off my scale...they are really bright!).Really bright solar lights are hard to find so these are fabulous. I actually had to move one because the initial location was shining in my bedroom so brightly that it kept me awake, even from across the yard.

Other thoughts:

1. Though these are only white light, they look really nice at night and they even look pretty during the day when they aren't lit.

2. The manufacturer has been very responsive. I bought two sets of these and had no problem, but I also bought a set of "Solar Garden Path Lighting Color Changing Light High Quality Stainless Steel and Crackle Glass White or Red/Green/Blue Snowflake Effect" lights and one broke right away. I emailed the manufacturer and within 24 hours they'd replied that a replacement was on the way to me. No hassle at all!

3. So far they are staying lit all night, but keep in mind that I'm in TX where we get lots of sun to charge them each day.

4. They come with a string attached to each and with a pretty hook to hang each. I use the hook for some and for others I just loop the string over a branch. My only concern is that the string seems pretty thin and I'm not sure how long it will hold up. The nice thing is that this makes them very versatile and it's easier to get them in the sun where they'll charge each day while still in range to light a path since they aren't at ground level.

5. Versatile! Another reviewer mentioned how nice it is that you can grab one off a tree and carry it when you need light. I totally agree and these are the only lights I bought that offer this option.

6. My one concern other than the fragile hanging string is how strong the connection is at the top. So far, so good, but I wonder how they'll hold up. You screw the top off to turn the switch on and they don't seem to catch well when you screw it back on. The top continues to rotate and never really catches to make a tight seal. I wonder if that will let rain in and I'm not sure the top connectors will hold up well if you have to unscrew them often. The good news is that you shouldn't have to mess with this often so I just suggest being gentle when you do.

Honest reviews on Hanging Solar Garden Light - Cornet Shaped Solar Lights, Solar Tree

PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW COMPLETELY FOR RELEVANT UDATE. These lights are really cute and I get a lot of compliments but they are expensive for what you get. I live in Southern Ca. so they are in the sun almost all day but still last only 2-3 hours before dimming or going out all together. Plan your outdoor events accordingly or your guests will miss the lights. UPDATE #1: All 6 of my lights survived a fairly heavy rain lasting most of the day and then worked beautifully the next day! UPDATE #2: To my surprise I was contacted by a representative of Britta who was very concerned about my comments. He immediately asked if he could replace the lights in question and did!!!! The new ones work perfectly. In light of the way these people stand behind this product I highly recommend it. I get so many compliments and plan to buy more!!!! KUDO'S TO BRITTA!

These hanging lights are the brightest single-led decorative outdoor lights I've found on Amazon, and last over 8 hours depending on daylight conditions. However, they do emit that blue-white light I found cold and unwelcoming. I was pleased to find though how easily you can change the color by simply taping a round piece of colored cellophane over the led. See Rosco The Strobist Collection, Strobist 55 Piece Cinegel Filter Kit, 1.5" x 3.25" to fit most Shoe Mount Strobes. for the high quality rich color gels I used. My patio is now lit with beautiful gold, purple, and red coronets hanging from the tree on my balcony.
