I want to put these in my front yard but it only gets about 4 hours of sunlight. Is that enough? I would appreciate if anyone could help me with that.

Honestly don't buy these my front yard was the same way and they would only work with the batteries they worked for like 1 months fine then after awhiles they stopped because the batteries died. I went to home Depot and got ones that were actually solar powered.

They shouldn't turn on during the day but the ones around my house that are shaded DO turn on and all 3 are set to the lowest sensetivity level. Also, one of them turns on and off all the time and I think it may be defective. It should work properly if you put it in an area that gets a decent amount of sunlight during the day.

Hey raw food teacher, Hope your having a great day! Thanks for reaching out! Yes they will work anywhere where they receive sunlight. They are Beautiful, tough and durable! We actually have awards recognizing the quality of our products not only nationally but globally! Although they work anywhere we would possibly recommend to dig a small hole and place the paver in! Thanks, Paver Light Depot

Mine is hanging from a large avocado tree. It gets 2 hours of direct sunlight. bottom line is,... more direct sun, the longer the charge.

Hello live in Louisiana which is a wet climate although not at all like the NW. No problem so far and have one of mine on a tree about 10ft up and provides good light down on my shop lock. Also the tree is full and thought it might be too shady for the solar panel on the light but it lights up every night.

Just how limited? Mine is not getting 6-7 hours of sun. Mine gets about 2-3 hours of good sunlight (b/w 11-2) and it works perfectly.

I assume you have the switch on and have allowed the unit to sit in full sunlight for 2 days but I had the same problem with two that I bought. I contacted the company that markets them and they were very helpful and replaced the defective units real fast. These have been working for over a year and are great accent lighting!!

I have some that are working perfect I just had to make sure the solar panel is receiving sunlight throughout the day. I positioned it so it is in the sun several hours each day. I hope this may help so you can enjoy them they look so cool each evening when they are on for the night! Good luck

Mine is set up to get direct sunlight because that just happened to be where I needed them, but I don't think it was necessary. As long as it is not under shade all day it should be fine.

As long as there is a couple of hours of direct sunlight, it will do fne. On occasions, I take them out to my backyard for few hours.

They are weather and water proof. I have them on my gutters as down lights so when they turn on they do shine brightly on the driveway which I'm guessing is about 9-10 feet. The problem is that they only stay on brightly for maybe an hour, then provide very dim light for another hour or 2, even after a sunny day. Not good if you want them on for more than that. I'm looking for something else.

I bought them in the summer and put them up to light my porch, but they are not in direct sunlight though. I've been very happy with them so far though.

Yes, I've been disappointed in many solar lights. Finally some makers are putting the lumens on the box. I purchased some Westinghouse solar lights this Spring at WalMart - I think they were 40 or 50 lumens. I have them under some birch trees in our front yard, and they light the trees for several hours after sundown. Not quite as bright as low voltage lights we used to have, but a whole lot less hassle with broken wires and burned out bulbs. Each year the company that makes Westinghouse seems to increase the brightness, so I'm wondering what we'll see in 2015. tAKE CARE

I put them on paper towel and soaked in room temperature water for 48 hours then put in the wet soil. I put the pot on the window sill to get sunshine. One sprouted about 1 inch, it was a skinny one then died. I don't know why.

I put them in potting soil in a shallow container. They don't need much water and do fine in just a few hours of sun. I bought them for floral arrangements last summer and didn't use them all. I still have them and they look great!

Hi Nancy,Well I think that 2 lights would be sufficient for your needs. I have 2 of them, one on each side of my Storage Shed door and they light that up very well. Just make sure they are where they get sunlight during the day and you will have light at night. Try to position them at that point so they will get all the sunlight you can muster.Good luck and Amazon is where I got mine and they have been great.JB

You need to grow them in the dark until the last day. Then for 1 day you need to put it in the sun to turn them green & then put the in the fridge to keep them fresh.If you have absolutely no sun then cover them & put it in your car where it can get sun for the 1 day....careful not to spill the water....
