Luxzone 8 Pack Solar LED Pathway Light QWPL21069-508

At $13 per light, these Luxzone (model QWPL21069-508) solar lights are not good value for money. Their ground stakes are incredibly thin and feel quite fragile. I'm not a fan of the light pattern, and wasn't from the very start, although some people might like it. The insects get inside the light and have to be cleaned out periodically after they die, but the absolute main reason for my review is the condition of the solar panels after only 6 months of use. Please look at the pictures and you will be dismayed I'm sure. They have all been exposed to the rain as you would expect and some of them have been exposed to occasional water coming from a lawn sprinkler. Do they still work, yes but their time glowing is decreasing day by day. How could solar panels which look like mine possibly work efficiently. I could not find any information about a guarantee on their website which is another reason I'm so disappointed. I'll go looking for a set of 12 volt ones like I had years ago, but I suspect they may be redundant. No more Luxzone for me.
