I want to put these on the north side of my house. Am wondering if they'll get enough light or if I should stick with the south side.

they work great, they stay on all night all until next day in the am, I bought some last year, and they still work perfect. I strongly recommend them.

Not sure I have then on the south side but they do seem to last all night. So they may be ok on the north, just might not get a full night of light from then

The solar cell will need direct sunlight for the amount of time you want the lights on at night.Just put the solar cell on the west side or roof and run the lights on north side.

Ther are pretty good e en ejem there are no sun Trey stll glow. Don't buy the red though they are not brilliant as the blue or white. They in general are not as bright as the electrical one but the good thing is your electrical bill won't go up with this product. I love mine.

Try to put them where you can get the most light that way they will charge completely

Im sure they will work on the north side but will get a better charge on the south. Mine charged even on a cloudy day

As long as the solar panel gets a few hours of direct sunlight, the lights stay on all through the night.

I used CFLs. The thinner profile ones. They can be seen from the side view, otherwise I like the lights

I actually think that wouldn't look bad at all...i love my light..if you need more light you may need to get LED bulbs as the Edison style is not very bright.

Depending on the height of the ceiling I would space them farther apart. I am currently using 1 to illuminate my 8x20 wood shed.

I have 60w bulbs in mine. They do give off a lot of heat, but didn't feel 40w would give us the light we needed in the area we have.

The light output is roughly that of a 30 to 40 watt bulb so it would not be bright. That said, I bet these would work great for landscaping. I used one for the balcony light and it works wonderfully - another lights up a silk tree in the corner and the effect is very cool. Too much exposure to the weather might not be too friendly for the bulb so keep that in mind. My first bulb, btw, has lasted over a year now.

I'm not sure. I bought them mostly for decor, not to light up a pathway or anything. They are not real bright, they just define the entrance to my property.

No. You would need significantly more light. I would suggest (2) 4-foot bulbs at the very minimum...

I'm just using 15w CFL flood bulbs with the extension. With that said, if I had the standard 100w bulbs, I wouldn't hesitate to put them in. I wouldn't use these outdoors, however.

I would say yes, they give a nice light, better than the rather yellow CFL versions. I would have said it was more like 50W rather than a 40W equivalent. A nice light

I don't think they would give enough light for a completely dark walkway. I bought them for effect since my daughter is having a barn wedding and can't have real candles. They are going to be on the table.

I think the light these give off are nice. Not so yellow looking. For K do your own research. Good Luck

I would say No. I have them outside on my deck. This area gets several hours of direct sunlight. Even with this amount of light, they do not all work and they only work for a portion of the night. To tell the truth, I've not been terribly pleased with these. I'd look for something else.

Should be ok. As suggested, you may want some floating plants (like duckweed) to filter the light if it's too much.

You will need additional lighting because the wattage just isn't that big. I have them on either side of a 14ft (9 ft of window) x 5ft bump-out that I'm using as a dining area in my apartment, and they provide soft lighting rather than strong illumination. But they DO provide enough light that I don't have to have overhead lights in the area.

I have two on the north side of our house, one on the east side, two on the west side of my office, and one on the east side of our office. All are exposed and occasionally get covered in Utah snow. The light has always worked. Granted I've only had them now for 5 months, I am a huge fan. These are really great lights. I originally bought one for our front steps, then when I saw how great it was I bought all the others.

I originally was going to install it with the lights down but the electrician said that it will look better with the lights facing up. Even with the lights up, because you can use incadescent bulbs, there is plenty of light. Hope this helps.
