We bought 4 sets, put them up, and let the batteries charge for 4-5 days, well beyond the 2 days recommended in the instructions. They worked for a few days and then within a week 2 of them don't work at all. The other two sets only glow red, and that's just a few not all of the lights. We called Smart Solar (the company that makes them) and the rep (Agnes) was curt and unhelpful, suggesting only that we try replacing the batteries with regular ones as the batteries that came with the sets may have been dead from sitting around in the warehouse. These are solar-charged batteries, and once charged, should not matter whether the light sets were in a warehouse for a while or not. Further, upon replacing the batteries, the battery terminal was rusty. The lights still do not work even after putting in charged regular batteries. We could see if maybe we got one set of bad lights but this was all four of them (two dragonfly, two butterfly). What a waste of $120.

these are fun lights but they quit working after a short time (month or so). I have another brand that I bought at the same time and they are still working. Maybe they would last longer if you live where there is no wind, cause I think that is what did them in.Best Deals for Smart Solar 3705MR20 Solar Light String, 20 Multi Color LEDs
I bought these lights in June but waited until now to write the review. The reason for that is these sorts of outdoor sets really go up and stay up all winter you don't take them down just because it rains or snows and often they don't work after a few months. So I wanted to wait and see how they held up and well we had one heck of a winter here in the North East, and I'm pleased to say that these beauties are not only going strong but they did so even when the panel was buried under a foot of snow.Great set of lights but I do wish I could daisy chain more onto the string without having another solar panel in place but perhaps that's the limit based on the battery consumption. Speaking of which, on the whole the batteries supplied in low-priced solar powered lamps are terrible. They're designed to get you going but are often the lowest rated amperage and are quite old. Do factor in the cost of replacing possibly as quick as a month after purchase. Personally, I ALWAYS put in new batteries them as soon as I've bought the item. You can get 2700mAh batteries for around $3 each now which is frankly a small price to pay for the extra life they'll give your product over the dire aging NiCads that often come with these items.
Our little tree outside looks really festive at night all year round!
Honest reviews on Smart Solar 3705MR20 Solar Light String, 20 Multi Color LEDs
Bought a string of these (on Amazon) for < $9 about a month ago. They last for several hours and have a pleasing soft glow. The butterfly shape is not really visible from more than a few feet away. I was going to buy more strings until I saw the new price just under $30 about 320% price increase! Now I will have to find something else because I refuse to be ripped off.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Smart Solar 3705MR20 Solar Light String, 20 Multi Color LEDs
They were so cute in the garden! Beautiful colors! We live in sunny SoCal and the solar panel was in full sun but about a month into it, they stopped working :(At the same time I bought "Ultra Bright Garden Dragonflies 5 Blinking LEDs Solar Lights" and they are still going strong.
