The lights are great, but the weakness is the plastic stakes. They break off easy, and then there is a good chance that the fixture will break when it hits the ground.

HERE IS THE SOLUTION: Buy a 10ft length of Schedule 40 1/2 inch PVC pipe (about $2-$3). Cut into lengths of 16 inches and angle cut one end to create a new stake. Hammer the new PVC stake where you want it about 6 inches into the ground, discard the old stake, and then slide the light riser over the new stake. The new stake will never break, and if someone (or the dog) brushes against the light, it will just spin. PROBLEM SOLVED!

The lamps look great in my yard, so far. Two of the black stakes that fit into the vertical stake shattered with barely any force on them. One I just barely bumped. They are too wide for other stake points from other lights to fit into unfortunately. I bought mine at Home Depot. The cheap lights from Walmart are sturdier than these. Will try to get replacements. UPDATE: if you go to (they are the manufacturer) there is a place to order replacement stakes for this model specifically. I appreciate that it appears to be easy to remedy the problem.

i agree with the other reviewer. the lights are good, but I've already had two stakes break. and i didn't even touch one of them!

update: i just called customer service: they are going to send me replacements. so that's one in their favor.

Honest reviews on HGTV Solar Pathway Lights 8pc Set

The reviews about the stakes were spot on. HOWEVER, I need to mention that these lights are predominantly made of METAL and that the lamp shade is actual GLASS. All other light sets we looked at in this price range are plastic, plastic, plastic. They also actually produce enough light to light a path as opposed to most solar "path lights" that just create a "glow." So despite the stake problems, I give them 5 stars. Another reviewer had a great simple solution for replacing the defective stakes with PVC--I'll be trying that this weekend.

I would give these a 4.5 stars if it weren't for the stakes. It is hard to find replacements, and they are EXTREMELY cheap. If you are careful, they will work, but if you try to straighten a crooken one a little without pulling the stake out, you will sheer it off very easily. Also, just today my 7 pound pomeranian bonked his noggin on the light and sheered the stake right off.
