WARNING - Buy at your own risk.  I bought a couple sets last year and they are supposed to have a 1 year warranty.  No one - not QVC - nor the company held true to the warranty.  The lights were a total waste of $$$.  They worked for about a month but the lights were only on for a little while.  Then even after buying new batteries - they came on for maybe 30 minutes and it is only a flicker.  My cheap Westinghouse lights that I bought at Walmart stay on all night and are still lit when I leave for work in the morning.

I bought a set from HSN several years ago and they are STILL working.  Not sure what brand it was.

Cannot speak for this Energizer TSV set, but I also have purchased Westinghouse solar lights at Walmart and they have been excellent for a far more reasonable cost.  Mine have been working year around for 3 years with no replacement batteries.  I also have a couple flameless lanterns with timers by Westinghouse, and they work just as well as the expensive Luminara brand.  The Westinghouse lanterns are plastic, not metal, but down here in the humid South, plastic works much better outside as anything metal rusts and carodes.

Any wonder , Jeff, the vendor, keeps talking about how the light stays on so much longer.....I never heard of path lights not staying on all night...they must have been real cheesy lanterns....

 

I live in an apartment that is really well lit at night and overcast days so I don't need these...but I thank all of you for the reviews for others to be warned...

Thank you for the review.  The TSV looks nice but it is expensive.  And if no one stands behind the warranty, what good is it?

Thanks for the review. 

.

They don't get very good reviews online either  I purchased Westinghouse morphing critter solar lights from Garden Ridge (don't know what it's called now) about five years ago and they are still working perfectly.   I have also purchased the Westinghouse solar lights from Walmart and they work perfectly as well and not nearly as expensive as the TSV.

@nycgrl Thank you so much!  I ordered these late last night. Just cancelled my order. I'll stick with HSN. I've got a set I bought several years ago that still work fine. I fell for the copper color, lol.

I also stupidly bought the set from last year!  Bad move!!  8 our of the 10 "died" within several months, 1 lasted a bit longer and 1 is still going.  I was going to buy new batteries for them but after reading that it didn't help much and the warranty is no good, think I'll just throw them away.  Please don't waste your time and money on these.  They suck!  My cheap ones from Big Lots and Lowe's are still going after 3 years.  Buyer Beware is right..
