I got these in April 2024, so next month will be a year that I've had them. They still have the original batteries in them (that came with them) and still light up perfectly every night! Even on the color changing setting.These are very bright lights, we live way out in the country and they've helped tremendously to light our walkways and front porch.The globes are thick, heavy duty glass, the tops and posts are metal which makes for all-around sturdy lights. We have dogs, kids, even a zero turn mower etc that have bumped them and they've held up to everything. Super easy to assemble and install.One thing I didn't like though are the spikes that came with them. I went ahead and ordered heavier spikes for mine and it made a huge difference in their stability.I'm totally in love with the color changing feature, they're so pretty! I definitely plan to purchase more. Well worth the money, you won't be disappointed!
