Revainrating 5 out of 5

More than I ever expected and worth every penny!

Before placing my order it took me about two weeks to decide if this solar address tag would fully match the description and photos. I had questions how would the LEDs be as bright as shown; Adhesive protects the numbers from twisting or peeling; how difficult it would be to arrange the numbers correctly. First of all, the LEDs are as bright as in the pictures. The battery is more than enough to keep the LEDs bright. The battery is located behind the solar panel and is user replaceable at the end of battery life. The numbers are semi-rigid and easy to manipulate. The corners don't curl up like paper-thin vinyl numbers. There's no guesswork as to how to place the numbers on the plastic lens for a clean, professional look. It's almost automatic. The numbers come with three templates that are used to center and place three, four or five digit house numbers and maintain the correct vertical spacing between them. Bottom Line: Don't wait like me when considering a purchase. I am sure that anyone who decides to purchase this solar house numbering kit will be as pleased with the finished product as I am. UPDATE: After posting my review, I read some of the experiences of other reviewers. This caught my attention when I noticed that most of the negative feedback came from users who lived in parts of the country that roasted under the hot sun. They stated that the numbers would curl up and peel off the lens within a short time after the sign was exposed to the elements. Here in South Florida, we get more than our fair share of sweltering heat and scorching sun year-round. My address tag faces south and gets direct sunlight all day. So far I haven't encountered such a problem. Before putting the numbers on the lens I took two additional steps not mentioned in the instructions that may have helped to keep the numbers on the lens. First make sure all residue on the lens is removed before applying. Counting. If there is debris on the lens, the numbers will never stick to the lens surface. Even a seemingly clean lens can leave invisible marks, so dampen a paper towel with water and squeeze out excess liquid. Gently clean the lens, then pat dry with a lint-free cloth. After placing the numbers on the lens, use the curved bottom of the teaspoon and, applying gentle pressure, run the spoon over each number several times, paying special attention to the edges. Finally, set the device aside and wait 24 to 48 hours for the adhesive to set. This allows the adhesive on the numbers to form a stronger bond with the lens. You should now be ready to attach the address plate to the outside of the pole. I hope this solves the serious problem of numbers sticking to the lens. UPDATE ONE YEAR LATER: Well it's been over a year since I installed my address tag and it continues to work just as it did the day I installed it. The numbers are still there (no chips or curled edges) and the battery is still working.
