Review on Moonrays 91754 Richmond Solar Metal Path, 360-Degree Display And 120-Degree Beam Angle Of Warm LED, 30 Lumens, Automatic Lighting, Rubbed Bronze Finish, 2 Pack, 2-Pack, 2 by Jeff Swanson

I have been looking for solar lights for some time and most are rather dim as they have only 1 battery, less than 5 lumens. These Moonrays are quite different, 3 batteries with 30 lumens and the glass globe has curved panels so the light is projected farther and a cool look. As for mounting a lot of reviews say the stakes suck, which I will agree, although I didn't even try the supplied stakes. I think they are inadequate. One reviewer recommended rebar but I found a better way. You get PVC pipe, 3/4 inch sch 40. The sch 40 is much thicker than regular pipe and a tad higher but worth it as it is stronger. Cut at least 16 inches, the metal shaft is 8 inches so with a 16 inch piece, 8 inches will be in the ground. Go longer if you want the light more secure. The light mounted onto the metal tube will just slip over the PVC that is above ground, it's a perfect fit. As for getting the pipe into the ground, 2 ways. Take a 2x4 block and put on top of pipe and pound it down until 8 inches is sticking out. Your ground may be too hard, so I found an 18 inch pointed steel stake about 1/2 inch in diameter at Lowes for $2.74 that you pound into the dirt as deep as you want the pipe to go. Then wiggle it and pull out and insert the PVC and pound it with the 2x4 block until 8 inches is sticking out. Then just slip the light and tube over the PVC and you are done. Not only are your lights more secure, you can easily remove them when mowing, bad weather, or extended trips, and then simply put back on the extended PVC.Have only been installed for a week, but very happy with them and this setup with the PVC. I have noticed that if you don't get any sun during the day you won't have lights that night, one of the cons of solar lights. The LED light is very white light and hopefully will last a long time
