I bought these lights to replace two that I have which are no longer holding a charge. The lights are very similar to the old ones - in fact the are almost identical looking lights. I suspect they came from the same factory in China and just sold under a different manufacture's name. The only real difference I could see is the first pair I purchased in 2019 uses a slider switch to set one of the three modes of operation where as these use a button you need to press. Regardless, they are both nice lights.
I have one above my garage door and one near my back door. I run them both in Mode 3, which is to come on and stay on for a short duration when motion is detected. They put off plenty of light too. Enough to easily see your surroundings for security purposes or do things like get groceries out of your trunk at night. They have strong plastic frames and a decent sized solar panel to capture light during the daytime. As I mentioned the mode is set by pressing a button on the back side which causes the light to blink a number of times. The number of blinks corresponds to the set mode i.e. 1, 2, 3 or Off - simple enough.
I did not realize the battery is replaceable until I read the instructions. I was able to replace the battery in one of my old units with one I had laying around so now have three operating lights and one spare. To be fair I purchased my first pair of lights in 2019 and the solar panel is pretty faded, so not sure how efficient the old one is...although it does appear to be working fine. To be honest the light has been pretty weak for over a year so the batteries need to be replaced every three to four years based on my experience....still not too bad.
Very pleased with these lights for the price and would buy again. Although next time I will just be buying new rechargeable batteries.
