I've had my Necteck Solar Lights for almost a year. They are very well made, and the sturdy plastic stake makes it easy to place them in the lawn wherever they are needed. (The lights themselves can be removed from the lawn stakes if desired, and have four holes in the light base if one wants to mount them permanently on a fence post, side of the house, or whatever.) The solar batteries seem very capable: ours catch the full (southern USA) morning sun and then fall into the shade of the house around 2:00 or so. Even though they aren't exposed to the sun the entire day, they last all night long and are still going strong at full power when the sun comes up the next morning and shuts them off. The angle of the solar panels and lights can be easily adjusted by a knurled knob. I've set the tension on mine so they stay in place, but can be readjusted as necessary without having to mess with the knob (this is important to me, since I take them up each time I mow the lawn, and reset them after I'm done). I use the two I bought to illuminate an aluminum street number plaque mounted on the bricks by the front door of the house: they make it really stand out so visitors or emergency responders can readily see it at night. In addition, the lights also provide an extra level of security, since anyone approaching the door will be illuminated. They would certainly be useful for other applications as well (e.g., illuminating bushes in a flower bed or at the corners of one's house, without having to go to the trouble to install permanent 115v outdoor lighting). So far I have been totally satisfied with the Nekteck lights, and recommend them to anyone looking for affordable outdoor solar lighting.
