Beams MB572 35 Lumen Wireless Motion Sensing LED Path Lights, 2-Pack, Brown

Solar powered lights work well when there is adequate light for the solar panels. Overhanging trees, a thicket of brush, or simply the shorter days of winter keep lights from working well. I bought these to highlight an area should wildlife come through. These lights work very well. They don't bask the area in light, but provide illumination enough to see that "something is out there", and may or many not need my attention.I have found that these lights have kept Geese away, and foxes. There has been a history with these animals, and with these units working throughout the evening, keep these little animals away. I suppose the sudden light at night is enough to scare them away. I suppose they find another route to where they are going.Another surprising feature is that they have kept the bears away from the apple trees as well. This was unexpected because I did not think that a bear would be that timid, nor easily scared away. The bears tend to stay away during the day, but at the evening, or perhaps at night, will "vandalize" aspects of the lakeside property, but this year has been completely different.I was surprised at how well these work.I have bought additional units for my home in the city. I planted these within the shrubs along the driveway, and with the darkened windows on my vehicle, it is sometimes difficult to know exactly where the edge of the paving is, and where the meagre plants I have start. These lights do a perfect job of keeping me posted.They use very little power, and am impressed at how a few batteries can keep the lights working so very well. As they don't have to be out in the sunlight to recharge, they can be "hidden" or installed in unexpected places.I am going to buy a few more, and keep them near my parents' outside stairs. The light that is generated would be enough to illuminate the trickier places, and hopefully keep my parents from slipping and having me visit either of them in the hospital.GREAT UNIT! I will be buying more.

I’ve used these for almost five years. For the price and reliability, they are wonderful. They don’t last forever. Out of the eight that I own, I may have to replace one about every year. The batteries generally last about a year also. It would be great if new models became brighter periodically, like with flashlights. But these lights continue to be the best out there for the price. Mr. Beams is a reliable brand, and I hope they continue with new product development.

I used these to light concrete steps because at night it is almost impossible to see the top step. They worked well for this purpose but there were a few issues. Initially the top tended to come off the stake too easily. Not serious but a little annoying. As others have commented, the batteries do last a long time because the lights are not on very much -- just when you need them. However, you should make a note on your calendar for when to replace the batteries so you don't end up with battery acid ruining the light, always an issue with alkaline batteries.The other problem I had was water getting inside the lights. They are not completely waterproof. If they are subject to raging downpours, which is happening more often as the climate changes, water will eventually get inside. I suggest taping the seams with waterproof tape. It will make changing batteries a little less convenient, but it's not a big deal.I like these lights because they are simple to deploy and require no fussing for a long time, but I took off a star for the issues mentioned above.

Happy with these. Provides winter light on my otherwise dark walkway that I have no reason to fully light every night. Turn on as you approach. Shut themselves off when no more movement is detected. Came with batteries. Highly recommend.

Very poor product if you are looking for motion activated lights. They sense dark but not motion. I waved a magazine 12" in front of each (I bought 8) and no activation. Nothing whether 12' or 12". Total misrepresentation. I am a seller on Amazon and would be ashamed if my product was this faulty. Now I understand why the large discount. If you want a darkness activated light this is the one. Motion activated not at all. Too bad as they are very easy to install on wall or in ground.

These seem to be lasting longer than other outdoor solar lights I've bought in the past. They're bright and light up around 2 feet of the area around them making them perfect for a pathway. However, the motion sensor isn't the best. They aren't consistent and sometimes you have to be directly in front of them, waving your hand inches away from them to get them to finally turn on.UPDATE: These lasted a little more than a year before going completely dead.Please click YES if my review have been helpful to you, it will encourage me to continue writing and updating my reviews, and leave a comment if you have any questions, I will be more than happy to answer if I can be of help.
