I am extremely pleased with this solar light. I used to struggle with having too much shade in the area that I want lit, as well as fighting with the lighting from the city street lamp installed in front of my house. So other models of solar lights did not charge well and cut out too soon.
The Hampton Bay solar light comes with a 50 foot cord so I was able to run the cord through my landscaping, under my porch, through my raised flower bed pavers, and into an area that gets full sun exposure, but is distant from the street light. It works perfectly!! The solar light stays on well over 8 hours and stays bright all night. I was an initially afraid that 100 Lumens would make the area a spot light. But that was not the case. My solar light sits about 4 feet away from the statue that I am trying to highlight, and it provides enough illuminated to allow the features to be softly lit. No blinding light!!
I will see how this unit weathers through a Chicago winter. If it holds up throughout all 4 seasons, I’m changing my post to 6 stars!!

Disappoint result of 100 Lumen Black Solar Light
I bought Hampton two kind of products 100 Lumen Black Solar light and 50 Lumen Black outdoor solar light online on May 29, 2021, picked up on May 29 afternoon.
Please see while I unpack from the boxes as pictures shown. It looks like 100 Lumen Black Solar panel dirty and old without screen protection sheet.
Hampton Bay 50 Lumen Black Outdoor Solar LED Spot Lights (2-Pack) have new shining screen with screen protection sheet.
I place them at my garden in the early morning 5:00am, haha, and got whole day sunshine on May 30.
Result at that night: 100 Lumen Black Solar light is not better than 50 Lumen Black solar light. I am so confused below:
1) 100 Lumen Black Solar light price is $39.99/each, 50 Lumen Black solar light price is $16.88/each.
2) Why does100 Lumen panel look so dirty and old without screen protection sheet as 50 Lumen does?
3) Why is 100 Lumen Solar light not bright as 50 Lumen Solar light?
4) Why is there such a big difference results in the same brand?
So I do not recommend to buy 100 Lumen unless its quality is as good quality as 50 Lumen Black solar light.
Good lucky

Beautiful
I love this light. It brightens up the tree I see from my kitchen window. I plan to buy five more to spotlight my Pygmie Date Palms.

This lights up the stars and stripes perfectly at night. Definitely plan on getting more for additional accent lighting. FYI, literally doesn't turn on until nightfall. Plan on charging the solar panel for an entire day to get the batteries juiced.

Hey everyone these are fabulous I purchased only2 but the spot lights do a great job. I wanted away to illuminate the carport which we use as a patio during summer time. In the evening hours the bats would want to come sleep up in the corners. Sorry bats these spot lights will make you think again. And they are just enough light and 8 hrs illumination is perfect. I'd say the Hampton bay 75 lumen solar light with 20 feet of wire has solved my issue so it is a verry versatile product. Thanks hampton bay
Turned right on, lights up house very well. I even tried from the tree down in the driveway and it lights up from that point as well. Seems very well made out of sturdy metal

I have bought this product 4 separate times, and each time, there has been a problem:
- 1st purchase did not have the 25 foot cord
- 2nd purchase did not have a working light
- 3rd purchase, the ground steaks would not screw in to the cylinders
- 4th purchase (yesterday) did not have the 25’ cord again.
Needless to say, I’m quite frustrated.

I was surprised at how bright this light is. I use it to illuminate my house numbers that are located at the end of my driveway.

It’s very good for a solar light, so far..I wish the spike stand fit more tightly into the base of the light, so it doesn’t swivel so easily

Needed a light that would work in all seasons but product instructions said it should not be used in freezing conditions, so I had to return it.
