Can I bury these slightly around my walkway. Or, would it effect the solar mechanism?

Yes you can, just not so deep it covers the top and a little of the edges. That's how I did it.

Instructions say waterproof solar garden and path lights to light your garden path. Simply leave lights in sun during the day. Require direct sunlight during the day ideally for 10 hours. I would take this to mean you could bury them slightly.

I don't see why not. The only issue you might have is keeping them in place, assuming there isn't some sort of edging on the sides of the sidewalk. I used it in the landing of a concrete stairwell at basement level, so it's right against the walls.Good luck!

I found that the pavers were very spongy feeling when you walked on them, just because they are made of hard plastic, if you have them just on grass with nothing underneath I don't think I would put a large heavy planter on them as they would probably sink or maybe even crack plus the sun fades them a lot so you will have an impression of the planter on the paver if you were to move the paver. Hope this helped you.

Can this be used outdoors in a mostly enclosed (bottom is slightly open) post fixture?

I would say yes but it would take quite a bit of it I would think depending on how big your walkway is. I think that it would look pretty cool as a walkway. I hope that this helped!

Sure. That is how I have them installed. However mine are under a patio cover. I wouldn't use them in the weather.

For the price I wouldn't hesitate to place these outside. The units are sealed and placed upside down, and the ant response was immediate. however, I did not place them outside. Good luck

I have 2 on posts at the end of my driveway in full sun and they work great.It has 4 solar panels to produce energy from all 4 directions. Do you have your light positioned where there are obstructions blocking the sunshine?

I have them in containers on the roof of my building which tends to get full sun. I think with some shade hours of the day they would produce more/dry out less, but I wouldn't put them in an obvious shady area. They need some sun hours. Try containers 12" size, organic potting soil and fertilizer, then you can move them around as the season changes or find the best spot for them.

I might advise against resting the light fixture directly on a wooden portion of the terrarium, but you could probably get around that and be OK.

I can't answer that. I have three sets. One inside of my garage and one set in each of my covered patios (one on the house and one on my detached garage). All three work great in a covered location but no ideas on an uncovered location. Sorry.

Yes, as long as you install them where ever you don't want them to land. Leave an empty space and they will land there. :-)

Probably not a great idea to do that. If it is your only option then put an access cover in the sheet rock so you can put your hand on it every so often. They will run hot eventually when they start reaching their end.

Hi Katie,I don't think you're supposed to. Depends on your climate. I have two outside but one on a porch and one way under the eves on the house. Haven't had any problems. But..not winter here yet. At 20 below zero F, that's going to be tough. 90% is keeping them dry and out of direct sunlight. Keep them powered all the time in the winter (that's the plan) because they will generate a little heat. If the wind's not too bad they might survive.

I'm not sure it matters. Some companies bury them just a couple inches down. I'm burying mine with my water line, 20 inches or so.

yes. We "buried" ours to where it only sticks up about an inch or so above ground level. we used it as a border for a gravel walkway.

If they are installed properly , with a good base such as sand , they might work as a path . Riding mower would probably break them . They are kind of fragile . solar lights do not last . on the other hand , i'm not an expert.
