Decision:

i had high expectations for these lights given the brand and my past experiences with outdoor lighting in my opinion they met most of them the reality is they work well for ambient lighting in my garden here in strasbourg where the weather can be variable they've held up through some rain and still light up at night which is great for my freelance work schedule that often has me outdoors in the evenings compared to my old lights these are more reliable and easier to maintain as a rationalist i appreciate the self sufficiency and lack of ongoing costs they're not overly bright but sufficient for pathways and adding a cozy touch to the space after a couple of weeks of use i find them to be a solid investment for someone like me with no kids and an interest in low maintenance travel inspired decor 😊

• Pros: in my opinion the build feels incredibly sturdy and durable as it seemed to me they handle rain and sun without any issues i liked that they charge from sunlight and don't need any wires which saves on energy costs installation was straightforward no complex tools needed and they provide a nice soft light for the garden
• Cons: as it seemed to me they might not be as bright on cloudy days compared to what i used before and the initial charge took a bit longer than expected which was a minor inconvenience
