Prairie Bulb Single Black Integrated LED Outdoor Solar Post Light with 3-Mounting Options Fitter, Pier and Wall Mounts

Solar Light is a great idea, but this manufacturer cuts corners and gives you low quality junk. During installation the base of this light completely broke off.

Looks great in my front yard - the way the glass reflects the light looks like 3 bulbs instead of 1 - not real bright but enough to light the way. I really love this light and highly recommend- very easy to install.

Very pretty, bright yellow light but not too much light. Curb appeal is awesome. Kinda pricey but I love them. Very nice size!

Well-made. Was excited to find one with square lines and prairie style! Works great so far! Question is for how long? Solar lights can be iffy. I bought this one to replace the first solar lamppost light from another manufacturer that stopped working. I'm hoping that the technology has improved. I've had this one for about 1 month. Doesn't give off a tremendous amount of light, but for my conditions it's perfect! The three different mounting options offers a lot of flexibility!

Easy to put together..I already had an existing lantern pole with an old lantern that needed replacing and this was a good replacement for it, no wiring needed which made it even easier to install I'm thinking about getting a few more for my garage. I love it!!

This light worked out great since we did not have power to where we wanted to use it. Have had the light for 3 weeks. It even lights on days that do not have sunshine to recharge the light.

Love how these lights look. Give good light. Have not had them long but we have other Gama Sonic lights and they’ve been very good.

I like the unconventional, boxy look of this "Prairie" lighting unit and got it to supplement existing lighting that doesn't adequately illuminate my deck. I also like that it has the option for pole-mount, wall-mount or flat-mount. I knew I'd specifically need a flat-mount for my intended location, but realized I may want to add additional units in the future, such as a pole-mount at the base of the deck stairs. The unit arrived mostly in good shape, except for a pane of glass that broke in transit. Gama Sonic sent me replacement panes (glass only) very quickly, which were easy to install by removing a few screws. While the casing was open, I installed the solar bulb (included) and flipped the switch to 'on'. The bulb immediately lit because of the battery (but the instructions advise that for best results to allow the lamp to charge for 2 sunny days in the 'on position'). The location of the 'on/off' switch is protected from elements inside the casing, but is inconvenient if you want to turn it off since 2 tiny screws have to be removed to reach it. It can't just be switched off if you are, for instance, enjoying the starry sky. Also, if those screws are dropped outdoors, chances of them being found again are slim. While adding the base/mounting piece, I unfortunately noticed the head wobbling slightly and found a tiny raised spot preventing it from laying flat to the head. It was a concern because my deck is susceptible to frequent high winds and this fixture is not aerodynamically designed. Thankfully, I was able to file down the small bubble and got the connecting pieces level and stable in just a few minutes, but this is not something the user should have to do. On the bright side, the illumination seems to function well, but it's been a dreary winter so I haven't had a chance to thoroughly test sun-time vs run-time. The bulb is bright and illuminates a fairly large area when lit at about table or rail level. I haven't had the occasion to try out the other mounting options, but if mounted higher it should be fine for seeing your entryway. Over-all; illumination is good and the casing has an up-scale look, but the casing may have a (repairable) manufacturing flaw. As long as it arrives without described flaw (raised spot), I'd recommend it. Low rating is due to that issue.

I own numerous Gamma Sonic solar lights and I keep returning to this brand because they work and they work well. This new weathered Prairie design is just gorgeous and is made from real metal frame and glass inserts. No fading or yellowing! WHAT YOU GET: Light fixture with solar panel, three bases (wall mount, flat surface mount and 3 inch post mount) all screw/sanchors needed. WHAT YOU NEED: Phillips screwdriver and a sunny place for the battery to charge. INSTALL: Install and assembly takes 20 minutes total. Tighten the bulb in the socket, pick a place to install the light, screw in the mount for the light and tighten the light to the post, wall mount or flat surface depending on where you want it. That's it. You're done. OPERATION: Once installed, flip the switch to on and the light will come on at dusk and go off at dawn on it's own. On a full charge the light will run for over 8 hours. Based on the other lights by GS that I own, the battery packs still work well after years in service. They are replaceable if needed. It's a nice bright light. About a 20 watt bulb is what I'd say. Plenty to see who or what is around it, light an entryway or stoop, address marker and give a nice glow you can easily see from the road. OVERALL: This is an excellent light. I highly recommend it. Super easy to install and the light lasts all night on a full charge.

So far so good.............................................. This is an unbiased review that is unaffected by the fact that I received this product for free. As proof of impartiality, just click on my nickname and see the average of the ratings I have given over 200 reviews to date. ==== Installation ===== The easiest.... because all you have to do is asssemble it and mount it on top of a post. The LED bulb is supplied with the light. There are three configurations available in this kit: fitter post mount, vertical wall mount, and horizontal surface/post mount. All parts are included for each configuration. ==== Usage ===== This light is used on atop a post in my yard in front of a dock. It lights the path from the house to the dock. It is positioned to be in direct sunlight at least 5 hours a day in winter and 8 hours in summer. It is winter now as I write this review. So far the sunlight has been adequate to keep the light on from sunset to about an hour before sunrise, not too bad for a solar light. The light is barely adequate to provide visibility of the path. I have both the black and gold light fixtures. I am deciding which one to keep at the dock and which to keep at the driveway. It uses a simple screw-in standard-mini base LED bulb. The bulb is visible directly, unlike this company's other lights that use a cone shaped reflector with fixed LED's mounted above it and facing downward. The solar cells are all facing directly upwards on a flat top, again unlike some other models that have multiple cells facing around a more pointed top. I think this can make for more power stored, at least when comparing this light with another I have from the same company. The other light only shines for a few hours after dark in winter. The method of disassembly is simple and only involves removing two screws and lifting off the top. The solar cells, switch, and LED socket are all in the same top assembly. ==== Summary ==== Barely adequate amount of light. Battery life longer that previous model. Simple installation and disassembly. Easily replaced LED bulb.
