Legacy Mini 50X Twin Solar-Powered LED Spotlight (Warm White LED) for Outdoor Garden Yard Landscape Uplight Downlight, Waterproof, Black Finish

The media could not be loaded. Tip for white wires: I didn’t want to see the wires from the driveway tacked along the bottom of the black facia - so I used a glove and poured some of our housepaint in my hand and ran the wires loosely which coated them well and took only like 10 min total. Did two coats let dry and then was able to tuck up just behind the facia and not being black anymore, it blends right in and is not noticeable at all. Our house is DARK - no street lights either. I wanted down lighting in my soffits and wired was too much work lol. I bought this 4 set and also the same brand 2 set. I am using their separate solar panels to make sure they stay on all night. So I have 3 lights on the large solar panel that comes with this set and two with the smaller solar panel that came with that set. Our house is heron white, not really much yellow in the paint color and sadly these throw quite a yellow tint. The video is showing them off, then high, then medium and low and off again. They are fairly bright, and do stay on all night, at least until 5am so I’ve noticed. Ultimately the color is not worth me taking them down because finding 4,000 kelvin is tough to find. I do like the 4 pack that’s listed here is a LARGE solar panel. Not the basic square one so lots of surface area. We are planning new low voltage landscaping lighting so I might replace these next year with wired 4k color to get rid of the yellow but they work for now and a pretty good bang for your buck.

These are the best solar lights I've ever purchased. #1. They're small enough to hide from view (you can't see where they are on the attached picture of the Virgin Mary). #2. They're small BUT POWERFUL. 3. As long as you have the solar panel in a good location getting 6-8 hours of sunlight, these lights will stay lit throughout the night. The attached picture was taken @ 4am. We have 1 more hour of darkness here in Cali, then the solar panel will start the recharge. NOTE: My solar panel is located in the perfect spot & receives approx 10-12 hours of direct sunlight. Also, even on overcast days, it's still generating energy for those 4 little power lights. If they're good enough for the Mother of Christ....we'll they're good enough for you....

IMMEDIATE REVIEW:My best advice, might seem obvious. Set the Solar Panel part in a FULL SUN location, all by themselves (no lights connected) for a whole day. Then, later, when you TEST them, bring them indoors, connect them to the lights, and HOLD the Solar Panel part up to your CHEST. The lights will come on FULL power, and you can push the switch on the back of the Solar Panel to SET the brightness level. The manufacturer recommends doing this 2 days in a row, FYI.I say that because I had them in my yard, at 7:30p at night, and the lights weren't even coming on. I thought it was dark. But the lights didn't. And so I started writing tech support requests. Duh.- Customer Support for these are very good. I wrote the Seller, and the Manufacturer for advice, and quickly, within 1 hour, had 4 people sending me help, additional product information, etc; in clear ENGLISH. They all kept emailing me for the next 24 hours to be sure I was happy.- They lasted 9+ hours, on MEDIUM power. After just 8 hours of charging (mostly in sun), NONE of them faded a single bit at all during the night. At 5:15a, all just as strong as 8:00p. Even with an overcast day, all lights have lasted all nights, none fading so far.- They are a SPOT light, not a FLOOD light- They are very TINY, but might be brighter than you think. They look great pointed at Med Fan Palm trees.- Think of them as ACCENT lights. They will not make it look like Day time. They are not massive flood lights, like you see on Freeways or Grocery Store parking lots.

This product seems well built, with the housing made mostly of metal. I've been using it for about six months now. I mostly operate it in a shady area where I only run one spotlight on it's lowest setting - and despite the mediocre sunlight this panel (being sized for two spotlights at regular brightness) has no trouble running all night. I recently moved it to a tree, though, where sunlight to the panel is better (although I'm still in a woodsy area), and with both spotlights on the medium setting it also lasts all night.The battery is replaceable, so don't throw the whole unit away when it starts to dim. I haven't had to change the battery yet, although I did take a look inside and it seems easy. I had to change the battery in a cheap floodlight from a different manufacturer recently, and it was quite a production trying to get it in there. It used the same kind of battery and connector as this product line, but there was so little space to maneuver and the cable had to be tucked in in just the right way to get it closed again. That's not an issue with the Mini 50X, and I'll certainly be favoring this manufacturer for future solar light purchases.Update after 18 months: two of the six LEDs have stopped working. Picture attached.

My street lamp had a broken underground wire and was going to cost $1500 to fix. I thought I'd try rigging up a solar lamp in the globe. With a little modification we got it glued on and ran the wire down the pole and offset the solar panel. A diffuser was needed as it was casting a yellow ring at the top of the globe. (turns out the cap from laundry detergent was the perfect solution) So far it's performing well. Comes on at dusk and remains on until dawn after charging in full sunlight all day.

Only worked for about a year and I cannot find the battery with the correct battery harness to replace the battery. Great when they worked, just didn’t last very long, and battery wasn’t even that old.
