Tools and Hardware Reviews of Malibu 3 Pack Solar Landscape Plastic Flood Light Set with Remote Panel, Textured Black #LZ413
Customer Review: Beautiful Moonlight in low ambient light areas!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have two 4-light sets by Malibu as well. We live in a rural area where the night sky can get pretty dark. These 3-LED lights produce a blueish, moonlight cast and don't contribute any night sky pollution. We have 4 lights spaced about 10' apart and mounted on the outside of a deck railing, facing down so that it shines through the pickets and onto the floor, but also onto the ground around the deck, about 8' below.
We have another 4-light set in the horse barn, situated so that the aisle and stall doors are lit as well as two entrances. Beautiful as accent lighting, but great for finding you way through a dark barn.
I replaced the included batteries with panasonic ni-mh and they last all night.
Customer Review: Best I've Found
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been trying different solar lights over the years. Older home with no power outlets outside (and not ready to invest) Usually, I've been sadly disappointed. These, however, give off a decent amount of light.
The lights are actually blinding if viewed head on. Shine enough to see the pathway in about a 6 foot range from each lamphead. Now, the logistics of setting them up is a little tricky but certainly not rocket science. Easy to put together but remember, you have a thin black wire running to each individual light from the remote panel so crisscrossing sidewalks etc can't be done. You'll need more than one set.
Really nice lights. NOT going to give you the amount of lighting electric lights will no matter how much you wish it so. The solar panel attached to base is a bit wobbly and tilts the wrong way at times but easy to give it a little nudge every now and then. (or give it a wee bit tape or other adhesive).
All in all, worth the 30 paid for what I needed, which is just a bit of light on the sidewalks and steps.
Customer Review: Best solar lights ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
These are powerful solar charged flood lights. I first used them to illuminate a 100-year old oak tree, and was so impressed with their performance, that I bought two more sets to light my pathways. The single solar panel is placed in a sunny location--the 3 floodlights can be situated up to 20' away.Customer Review: Best there is, change the batteries though.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this set for almost a year now. I replaced the three AA batteries with Duracell 2650mAh rechargeable, after the first two weeks. These are installed in a dog kennel (built as a horse barn). The solar panel faces south. The lights remain constant bright until the sun comes up and shuts them off each morning. I spliced in longer wires for each light so the distance from the solar panel is about 20 or 25 feet for each one. The light does not attract any bugs, no flies, knats, moths, nothing. Each individual light is directed into a different room of the kennel, and gives enough light that no additional light is needed to get around safely. I have electricity in the kennel, with flood lights installed also, but don't use them every time I go in there. These solar lights provide enough light for the dogs to get around safely at night, see their food bins, and water buckets, and I have one enclosed room for them (with electric heater) and the solar light I have in there gives them light all night. Mounted about 7 feet up, these lights do not give a light bright enough to distract from sleeping, but do easily provide enough light for safe walking around. Some mornings during the winter months they are dim, but these are during cloudy days, of several in a row, and most winter mornings the lights remain bright. Using the
Duracell Rechargable 2650 mAh batteries make an improvement in their length of time. I have tried other brands of solar lights, these are without a doubt the best ever. After 10 months of recharging in the solar pack, I have not yet needed to replace these Duracell 2650 mAh rechargeable batteries. Get these solar lights if you want bug free, bright blue-white light all night long, night after night, but I would replace the three AA batteries with the Duracell Rechargable 2650 mAh batteries to be sure of the best possible performance.
Customer Review: Better Than Expected
Summary: 5 Stars
This light set shines brighter than I expected. I have two sets that accent my arbor which sits at my gate to my yard. You can see the whole arbor lit up from down the street in total darkness. The lights are very versitile since you can either mount them or put them on stakes in the ground. They also swivel up and down and you can turn the light in any direction after it is mounted. Also, each light has 20ft. of wire so you can really space them far apart if you want.I am very pleased with them and have not found anything brighter for the price.
