Tools and Hardware Reviews of Malibu 3 Pack Solar Landscape Plastic Flood Light Set with Remote Panel, Textured Black #LZ413
Customer Review: Cast some solar light on your expecations
Summary: 5 Stars
I own a half dozen of the individual Solar Flood lights, another half dozen of the 3 packs (same light design X 3 connected to a single solar panel) and 3 sets of the Bollard style lamps.
Let me say upfront - NO Solar Light on the market comes anywhere near these!
HOWEVER, please note that Solar lights are not the same as conventional lighting. Once you understand this simple fact, you'll enjoy this product.
They cast a relatively intense beam for about 5-6 feat and then the light loses intensity. They will illuminate anything 5 feet away but after that, become accent lighting. This is an obstacle that Solar lights have stuggled to overcome since their inception.....BUT WAIT....
If you want even more power, take a look at Malibu solar's newest offering, the LZ6002 series on their website (Google it) - Full metal construction, 4 LED bulbs (vs. 3) and a much better design overall. It'll probably cost more, but looks to be the best Solar mini lights out there.
And finally, if even 4 LED bulbs just won't cut it, go ahead and purchase the Malibu LZ605RP Solar Floodlight - It's harder to find, but it has TWELVE LED Bulbs that cast a VERY strong beam through its focussed reflector. Definately the king of Solar floodlights under $60. If you can't find it anywhere online, call the company through their website and they'll sell it to you
Customer Review: Consistency Problem
Summary: 2 Stars
I ordered two sets of these lights from Amazon and two from another major retailer. The sets were totally different as far as light they put out. The solar collector fronts looked different. One looked sleek, the other like I put it together in my garage. One set put out acceptable light and I was very happy. The second set no where near the light. The inside lamp reflectors didn't even look the same. If this company is going to have such obvious inconsistencies in outsourcing and manufacturing their product, why not let me know - hey Bob, it's hit or miss! Now I have to pack them up, ship them back. A hassle - and a bad name for solar. A waste of my time overall and takes the mystery out of the good and bad reviews here.Customer Review: Decent amount of light
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted to light a side garden so that walking through would be safe; they more than lit the area necessary. I purchased another set immediately and find that I have more light than I need.Customer Review: Decent light
Summary: 4 Stars
Easy to install but I was expecting slightly more "light" than those little bulbs provide.Customer Review: Did the trick
Summary: 4 Stars
We needed something to light up "Old Glory" on our back porch in the evening. After reading several of the reviews I wasn't sure if these would to the trick but, they worked like a charm. Those that thought these didn't put out much light must not have looked at the furnished pictures to see what they did. I wasn't expecting stadium lighting but I was impressed at how well these little lights worked.
