 the secret is to replace the batteries with better ones January 27, 2008

The secret I've discovered is to replace the included batteries with better ones. The included AA NiCd 900 MaH rated batteries actually store only 1/3 or 1/2 of their rated energy (300 - 450 MaH), therefore only shining a few hours per night. When I replaced them with AA 2000 MaH rated NiMH batteries (1500 MaH actual as measured) and they store more energy and run longer at night. Do a web search "lenmar nomem pro" for some examples of inexpensive NiMH batteries. Plan on spending about $1 - $1.50 per replacement battery ($2 - $3 per light) is about right. These lights are a actually very good deal here for < $6 apiece, but replacing the batteries makes them run longer at night, and you are still well under $10 per light.
Also, a couple more tips for people having trouble: 1) the lights have on/off switches inside which come set to off. they will charge in the sun set to "off", but will not shine at night unless "on". 2) the solar cells (very good ones by the way) come with a clear plastic protective sheet on top. You must remove that sheet or they won't work.

The cobalt solar light set in Stainless is absolutely delightful and the best looking solars that we have. They are also the best price that I have seen in a very long time.
Our walkway with stairs going down to our boat dock is beautifully lit and very attractive . I will likely buy another set for our entrance. I love the white lights...not yellow...bright white...very nice indeed and they arrived packed well and we are very pleased.

I'm very satisfied with the lights. They're nice and bright for solar lights. Easy to set up and install. All lights illuminated the first night with about 6 hours of sunlight charging. The lights do a great job of illuminating the paths in the landscaping and remain lit throughout the night.
My only real complaint is that I wish the extension post was more securely attached to the spike. The post detachs from the spike and falls over if the garden hose rubs against it as I'm moving the hose around. Ideally the post and spike would be one solid piece.

These are excellent for marking driveways and sidewalks..these are brighter than most and are of relatively good quality..metal spikes are always a plus, which these have. I have bought 2 boxes and they are all working great
 They work for couple weeks and then quit November 9, 2007

At first glance I like them, I liked look, brightness, color. But this set works only for about 6 weeks and then quits. Half of my lights are dead now (not lighting up at all after about 3 weeks). Another half barely holds charge for an hour or less. And even for that they have to be in direct sunlight for the whole day, anything less then direct sunlight and they will not light up at all. Another problem is shoddy craftsmanship (I guess it is excellent for Made in China): there is almost no sealant between solar battery and metal surround, thus there is water leakage into the lamp itself. Lamp itself consists of three pieces - top, tube and spike. Once you assemble part together and stick light into the ground you have to be very careful if you want to place it into another spot, if you disconnect parts and reconnect them again - it will no longer be tight fit and would wobble. I would definitely not recommend this particular product from this company to anyone.
