They ate a bit pricey, I've had them approximately 3 months and it does appear the top solar shield is QUICKLY deteriorating. It is to soon to see if it was worth it...but they are nice and look pretty authentic.These lights are the coolest. It actually looks like a flame. It is bright and I can notice it from across the street. It looks like I'm having a luau lol. Don't hesitate. I am getting more.We wanted our new deck to have more interesting lighting. These lights were a good choice and the flickering fire effect made a lot of difference. We're happy! ?I absolutely love these! I’ll be purchasing more.TomCare lights have superior sized PVs and adequate batteries, so they run better and longer than others in my substantial collection of solar lights. They're beautiful. Several older TomCare lamps are showing PV surface degradation from exposure, but still working well. I am concerned about the plastic case of this particular model. Storms tend to be brutal here and if the plastic degrades from U.V., they'll be destroyed, but I've only had this model for 3/4 year so far. These are the most attractive lights for deck and fences that I've seen.These are Excellent!
