I got these lights quite some time ago, i think they were picked up for about £30 for 4, They were chosen out particuarly as they were of a nice design with an old fashioned look to them.

However i cant say im particuarly impressed by the solar powered lights, They are incredibly weak and even on the hottest days of the year the lights only produce a very small dim light which is very hard to see and notice.

Ok so the design is good as they look like nice features in the garden particuarly in the day time. They each feature a pole mounted with a hook, where the plastic pole is inserted into the ground, the lamp part then slots onto this hook and is allowed to swing delicately on the plastic pole. Another complaint i have is with the pole itself, i found it incredibly difficult to get the pole to sit in the ground with the plastic not at all being heavy or strong enough to deal with the actualy lamp part. So buy burying the pole deeper than expected into the ground and using a few small rocks i managed to keep each of the poles with lanterns standing upright.

Each lamp itself is fitted with a small led bulb which is powered purely by sunlight, which is recieved in through the tiny solar cells located on the top edges of the lamp. Its very hard to notice these and are very well disguised i think.

But obviously the main point of these garden features is to light up in the evening to make sitting out in the garden in the late evening a nicer experience particularly on those hot summer nights! But they have failed to work, they are positioned in direct sunlight in a south facing garden so there really isnt an excuse for them not to work. I must say i was rather dissapointed with these lights, compared to some of my friends solar lights which work very nicely there really isn't a comparison.

Recently one of the lamps poles have also snapped which is down to the high winds making a pole snapped putting the entire lamp out of action.

Despite the nice design more thought could have gone into making this work to a satisfactory level, i cant recommend these lamps for this reason and suggest using another brand.
