Solar Garden Lamps and Lights

Don't buy these. One lasted hours, and this one captures the light, but in the dark last an hour if that......

Re: Solar Garden Lamps and Lights

I've found the cheap(er) lamps are false economy.

As you say....pretty useless.

Did you get them from poundland - as we bought four of them and they are working brilliantly.

Mind you one of them at the top didn't unscrew very easily and the thread broke but still managed to hang it up.

I'm not a fan of solar lamps. They light up but don't light the area around them.

I was just looking for some for our caravan garden, not yo light up the area just to look pretty along the top of huge fence and among the branches of the hedge.

Yes Rachel although the album name is wrong. They are Tirzah & Marshall. Unfortunately Marshall (the one on top) was killed on the road a few years ago after escaping from the garden.

Re: Solar Garden Lamps and Lights

Bought 3 from my local garden shop, didn't light up at first then realised there was a on/off switch when you take off the solar bit now works very well
