Upside-down weirdness

I really enjoyed these post top lanterns. They are very easy to assemble and they have plenty of space on the solar panels to capture light. The problem I have is for the cost you only get two, and one of them does not work correctly. I've attached a video and a picture to show exactly what's going on. Basically one of them only works correctly when you turn it upside down. As I am making this review it suddenly came on while it's right side up. Maybe it was just not dark enough outside. I will

Pros
  • Perfect for photographers or bloggers looking for unique lighting options
Cons
  • May not offer enough customization options for some people

Very nice but one is doesn’t last

One works for many hours two for only two or so. I asked for a replacement and they sent it right away. The same issue. I like them but I wish both last the same duration of time

Pros
  • Tools & Home Improvement
Cons
  • May not be as energy-efficient as advertised

These are very nice looking for the cost!

These are perfect for a mountain cabin. They light up almost all night (if the sun has been out all day) and they give a soft, cozy light. They are for ambiance, not light to see by. They are an inexpensive plastic but they look quite nice. I don't think you can do better for the price. We really like them - when we drive up it looks like we have lit torches on the porch.

Pros
  • ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY SOLAR POWERED POST CAP LIGHT: Powered by solar charged, the flame post cap light can absorb automatically solar energy during daytime and light up for at night, completely save your electricity bill.
Cons
  • May not hold up well in saltwater environments

Much nicer than expected

I bought a pair of these in Jan, 5 months ago. Had just replaced my front stair railings and used deck Resore to refurbish the ancient concrete steps. These lights were the crowning touch. They were super easy to install, even for this old, clumsy lady. I was shokced at the "flame" which is about 4 inches tall. Very visible from the street and yes, it looks just like a flickering gas flame of a hundred years ago. I assumed that here in FL in winter they were be lit for 6 hrs or so after dark…

Pros
  • Can be easily installed on any standard 4x4, 5x5, or 6x6 posts
Cons
  • Could be too distracting for wildlife

Beautiful ambiance.

This is my third set. I have one at each gate and it’s just enough light to see the opening and latch. So pretty. May not provide enough light for outdoor sports or activities.

Pros
  • Energy-efficient design saves you money on your electricity bill
Cons
  • May not provide enough light for outdoor sports or activities

Lamps are better than expected on arrival

So far, so good. Four of them arrived in good working order. They look great at night and look very much like a frame of an oil lamp inside a glass chimney. Very realistic brightbess. Will update this over time with longer term perfornance.

Pros
  • Provides a rustic charm to your outdoor space
Cons
  • Could malfunction or stop working unexpectedly

Statement lights best in my review

We installed these on our dock posts. They provide a very cool vibe. They are very realistic looking. They don’t have the most ideal, day long sun exposure, but they come on every night and last til it gets light in the early morning.Great value.

Pros
  • Looks like real fire! Love the look!
Cons
  • The solar panel may not be durable enough to withstand harsh weather conditions

Love these lights: my feedback

I wanted these lights to mark the gate of the fence. They're perfect. Took about 5 minutes to install two of them. They're not super bright, but that's not what I bought them for. They actually look like flames. They've withstood a few good storms so far and it hasn't affected them at all.

Pros
  • These are much brighter and more realistic than I expected. I will definitely be buying more of these.
Cons
  • The flickering flame effect may not be to everyone's taste

Great Lights but…… best in my review

I absolutely love these light. They are great for the money and put off just the right amount of light. However it’s September, bought at the first of August, and one light already doesn’t work. Super frustrating. It seems like nothing lasts anymore

Pros
  • I would buy these again without any reservations. They look so real. (gas lantern)
Cons
  • The light output may not be sufficient for practical outdoor lighting

It isn't bright as advertise

After installing it I was glad but when the night came in they turned on and it was not as bright as I hoped it would as the advertisement picture shows. It seems sturdy tho but I just really hoped it was bright I bought 2 sets and all of them are on but the area I placed it its still dark I have to buy a different type of light now.

Pros
  • Provides extended hours of light for your outdoor space
Cons
  • Could be too warm to the touch and pose a safety hazard

These will only fit 4 X 4 posts.

I noticed conflicting information in the "answered questions". The product description states 4 X 4 posts, but two separate answered questions state they will fit 5 X 5 and 6 X 6 posts. I contacted the distributor via Best Buy and they stated they will fit 5 X 5 posts. I ordered several of these lights based on the distributor's statement. The distributors statement is false - THESE WILL ONLY FIT 4 X 4 POSTS! The mounting hardware is 3 3/4" X 3 3/4". The inside dimensions of 5 X 5 posts are 4…

Pros
  • Lighting & Ceiling Fans
Cons
  • The lights may not be user-friendly for people with limited tech experience

Purchased on Nov. 2, 2020 and still working great!

I love these lights! I mounted them on a couple of 4x4 posts on my property. I have over 100 solar lights on my property and these are my favorite! They have lasted longer than I ever expected them to. Best solar flame lights ever!

Pros
  • Post lamp at driveway
Cons
  • May not be bright enough for nighttime activities

Cool effects! But Cheaply made

These look very cool from a distance, but the flimsy plastic housing makes it seem very clear that they will not hold up to the test of time. I’m going to give them a shot, outside 24/7 and update this review later when they die out.

Pros
  • están muy bonitas fácil de instalar se ven muy elegantes. excelente compra
Cons
  • The lights may attract insects and other pests

So Pretty and Bright!

Love these post lights. Looks like a real flame and the best solar product I have bought. I have them on my bridge, just beautiful. It doesn’t take a lot of sunlight either at 2:00am they are still going so not sure when they go off maybe daybreak. They are very bright and can be seen a long distance. A great buy for me!

Pros
  • Bought 14 of them 2 years ago and they are still working. Great but.
Cons
  • May not be durable enough to withstand regular use

Absolutely worth it!

They turn on automatically near sunset and there are often a couple still on just before sunrise. I’m impressed by the battery life and the flickering flame is so cozy. Installation is easy and versatile and they blend right in with the darker wood stain. We’re very happy with the quality.

Pros
  • Perfect for camping trips, outdoor dining, or relaxing evenings at home
Cons
  • May not provide adequate lighting for outdoor cooking or dining areas

Awesome! Stayed lit through hurricane Ian and Nicole.

Highly recommend!Best outdoor lighting I've ever had. They are very well made, beautiful and well worth the price. While my others ended up somewhere in the neighborhood, these didn't budge!I'm getting 2 more for the holidays.

Pros
  • Provides a charming addition to your garden or lawn
Cons
  • Could be too expensive to run in the long term

Beautiful Lights; Easy Installation

Hubby bought these, and I thought I wouldn't like them because they're not a contemporary/modern design, but once we put them up I was in love with them! They take like 2 mins to install (super easy, don't even have to think about it), and give a gorgeous soft golden "flame" glow. Get these!Will upload better photos once I remember.

Pros
  • Love how realistic to a gas flame and just a solar light. Very impressed.
Cons
  • May not be as waterproof as advertised

It’s a nice setting

They give a nice flickering light they last all night and price is also a good deal too. I have them mounted on 2 stumps Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • Love the brightness
Cons
  • May not be a good investment for areas with limited sunlight year-round

Go ahead and buy em

These are top notch. They look great and if you want defining lighting this is the way to go. If you want bright show your way. go with white. I did white up to main gate and used these. Look good, classy, and certainly Mark the way. I thought a bit pricey until a got them, then realized it was a good deal. If you’re on the fence. make the move and put these on your fence!

Pros
  • It flickers like a real flame
Cons
  • The lights may be too difficult to install for some people

Not a full on flame like the picture indicates

It's a cute little lantern and it definitely works, but it doesn't look like a huge ball of flame like the pictures indicate. It pretty much just flickers, but I like them anyways. A great addition to our gate posts.

Pros
  • Can be used as a decoration for outdoor events, parties or weddings
Cons
  • May not produce the desired ambiance in certain outdoor spaces
