What spacing did you use between lights?
@@ionewingedangel1712 I think 12’, but it’s completely up to you on how you want to space and arrange the lights.
My snowblower would love these.
I install a fiberglass driveway marker next to every light. I have an Ariens snowblower, and this trick makes it easy to navigate around these solar lights.
Hi,
Can you please let me know what type of screws did you use?
First snowfall they are out of there 😂. Just like how we don’t have highway mounted lane reflectors unless they recess mount them below the surface for snow blow blades.
nice but I'd definitely add yellow or white marking on driveway like this
Great Video. Quick question, how far apart did you space them? I just got some in and looking to install them this weekend?
Disregard, I just read the comments…. Thanks again for the video
My concern would be water ingress. If water is sitting for a few days (heavy rains etc) wound they not short out and fail? Thanks 😊
My driveway is pitched, so I never have any standing water. So far, there has been no water infiltration in any of the lights! I will likely have to replace the batteries on the 3rd year. Very satisfied.
They look good, nice option with the tap cons, how about different colors? Just a thought. 🤙
I have blue
definitely not a good idea to start drilling pathway or interlock or concrete floors...main reason if these fail with time the lights or you decide to go a different route your gonna end up with ugly holes
I understand they are durable, but my question is will they stay in place when your driveway gets plowed?
Absolutely not. They may withstand a light hit from a snowblower, but a plow will rip these out of the ground or damage them. An option is just place them on the edge of the driveway without screwing them down. That way a plow would just push them into a snow bank
@@OldSoulMillennial An added solution to that problem is to live in a snow free state such as myself. Still, the night affect with those lights looks great.
Not much of anything stands a chance against the cutting edge of a plow maybe a 3” solid steel piece but yeah
Can't wait for the update video in 1 to 3 years 🤣 (I'm speaking from experience, however I won't spoil the ending for everyone else).
Menards pulled this product for reason. I'm out @ $400...
Good eye on the missing GFCI. I am going to install a string to each float. That way I can pull up on the string and test the floats. Since this happened, I also installed 3 water sensors throughout the basement and tied it into my alarm system. One sensor is deep in the sump pit. This way I'll have some notification if the sump pits are wet.
Great video. I have the same type of driveway. How far apart did you place the lights on one side?
Thanks greg. I spaced my lights about 14' apart. If you are unsure of what distance you should space your lights, light a couple of candles along the driveway and see what you like. Of the 20 lights I ordered, one is dead. Might just be a bad rechargeable battery.
The problem with solar driveway lighting is, when the lights of your vehicle hit the light, they go out. And, the batteries are about $7!!!!
I haven't had the vehicle lighting issue, but big deal. If the lights go off for a second until you turn off the headlights, no big deal.
How do you figure $7 bucks for batteries? Each light requires 3 AAA batteries. Here is a link to 48 Rechargeable AAA batteries for $12 on amazon. amzn.to/3pkxVsG
That pack would cover 16 Lights. I still haven't replace the original batteries yet.

😂😂😂😂😂
Lol.. no they dont.. mine have never done that and i have 3x 12" spotloghts on the front of my truck.
only issue is batteries, took off two screws but the back are glued on so they break when you try to change batteries
Cool video ,won't tell my copycat neighbor about these..Curious how many hours of light time?
They last through the night usually. Cloudy days, may be a little dim at dawn.
Great video! I recently saw these lights so I wanted to come on here and check out some videos. Yours was the first one I came across. Once you install the lights and then need to replace the battery will you have to completely remove the light from the driveway to add a new rechargeable battery?
Good question! Yes, you will have to remove/ unmount the light in order to replace the battery. Battery should last 1-2 years.
@@OldSoulMillennial oh wow! That seems annoying especially since you have so many!
Great video thanks
What size of screws you use ! Thanks
Great review video. Thanks
Do you think a lawn mower blade will hit it?
I have a craftsman lt2000 mower. I set my blades on 4 and haven't hit one yet. They are about 3/4" high.
Are they still working? Are they good?
Of the 20 I initially received, one was ripped apart by my snow blower, and 1 light is not functioning. It may just be a dead battery. But the other 18 are working flawlessly. No regrets!!
When they switch on, how long does the light last?
Yes!
What is the diameter of these lights?
That info should be listed in the Amazon description
it's been a year, how's the batteries holding up (among everything else)?
Yes!
Does the plastic yellow and does it get enough charge on cloudy days?
Too soon to tell if the plastic is going to yellow. Thus far, even on low light cloudy days, they always get enough charge to come on and stay on. I think the cold winter temps and shorter days will be the big test.
Whats the brightness like?
Good for what it is. The lights are very visible in the side view mirrors of a car, but understand that they are not spot lights. They will clearly mark the edges of pavement, but won't really light up the surface of the path.
How did they hold up?
Since this video was made, of the 20, 1 is not working. May just need a new rechargeable battery. Haven't looked at it close but. Otherwise they work really well even on cloudy days
If you live in the woods, you need electric. Solar needs Sun.
Sun shines in the woods...... I don't live in a cave. Your comment came across a bit ignorant, but you do make a semi valid point. These lights prefer to receive direct sunlight for a few hours. But also note, they will still charge on bright cloudy days and in indirect sunlight. On the low charge days, they are usually a little bit dimmer.
Photovoltaic = Solar panel 🤦🏻♂️ not light sensor
Still super dark
These aren't spotlights dude.....They are for the purpose of illuminating the edge or perimeters of hard surfaces. Worked perfectly for my application.
It's because of the camera you goon
Solor lights are a waste of money and time . That is why I converted to wired LED path lights .
Thanks!
