I have these kind of stuck in the shade so they don’t really light up anymore unless I put them out in the sun but I’ve been busy with work so I haven’t used them since the first day I got them. Really cute lights and easy to install. I suggest you figure out where you’re going to put them and keep them there because if you keep pulling them up, eventually the little sticks will break or bendAfter a few weeks one stopped working. It's disappointing because I love the color and brightness.Great lights! Can be places flat on the ground, staked, or hung. When completely charges they are very bright. To charge, you do need to place them in full sun, but even if not, they still charge well and give you the light you need for your project/area.I really do like the lights a lot. I ordered two sets and on both sets there is one that does not work. They worked about one week & that was it. Would like to get them replaced but do not know how to do that. Would appreciate your help on that.Looks amazing working so nice on the lawnLove them all!Lights do not last all night. About 6 hours, the lighting is gone.Love! To my surprise, they were brighter than I had expected. I absolutely love and would order again!!
