LUTEC Solar Post Light, Dusk to Dawn Aluminium Solar Lamp Post Light Fixture with Pier Mount Base, Exterior Black Solar Fence Lights Outdoor Waterproof for Garden Yard Patio Post Pole Mount

Elegant high quality solar light warm glow
I bought this light to replace an old solar light that had not worked in years. I cannot speak to the longevity of this yet as I just installed it but I can say that the quality is great and this is user serviceable. You can change the rechargeable battery and the light bulb yourself. It is also very sturdy aluminum metal and glass. It is a screw in glass jar that makes my think this will withstand rain very well. When you get it, charge it for at least 8 hours in the sun and then it can run all night on the lowest setting. The settings are 2.5 hours (brightest), 5 hours (I think, medium), and 25 hours (lowest light / pictured.) Only recommendation would be a 10 hours between low and medium. Real nice quality.

Classic Design, Great Battery Life, Strong Frame, & Customizable Security, Emergency, & Special Uses
 This is a great outdoor solar lamp, with a strong metal frame, and has been a nice addition to my property and offers several different capabilities and uses, and can be used in a variety of ways most people may not realize (some of which are discussed below). It comes almost entirely assembled, ready to mount to wherever you want to mount it. Once the base is mounted, you simply screw in the light bulb, screw the glass tube over the light bulb, then place such in the top of the light frame and you’re done. This product comes with two mounting choices: a circular/round 3” diameter mount and a 5.5”-6.25” square mount. I used the square mount to install such on a square post. I could have used the circular/round mount to install it on a round post in a different location, but the square post location needed a light. It has now been installed for over a week. During such time, this lamp has been rained on a few times (once lightly, as shown in the video, and another time when it was rained on heavily, which is not shown in the video, as I was not going to stand outside and get rained on in very cold weather merely for a video clip for a review). Despite being rained on, the lamp/light has continued to work, and so it is waterproof for rain, hail, and snow purposes.It has a great battery life. Recharging the battery with sunlight for a full day of sunlight will power the light for a good 25-26 hours (the product description says 25 hours, but a single day of charging this light resulted in it working for about 26 hours when I tested such). The rechargeable battery in such is recharged by solar power, but the rechargeable battery itself can be removed and replaced when its recharging capacity and retention ability goes bad over years (as all rechargeable batteries do). There is a good instruction booklet that comes with this light. This product also comes with an excellent 3-year warranty, described in the product description, which states “We provide 7*24h after-sales service and a 3-year warranty. Easy and fast replacement and refund for quality problems are guaranteed. If the glass or the bulb (bulb included, and sold in our store) is broken, we will send you new replacement, you can purchase with confidence!” That is an excellent warranty.This light does have four modes: the off mode and three (3) different brightness modes that are part of the on/off switch. The power/mode switch is located on the top (see video). You press it once to turn the light on. When it comes on, it’s automatically on the brightest mode. Pressing it a second and third time will go to less brighter modes; and pressing it a fourth time will turn the light off.The square base of this light is about a 5.5” to 6.25” inch square, but the square base can be removed so that a 3” diameter circular base can be used for installation instead of the square base.The frame of the light is metal (ostensibly iron or steel), strong, and sturdy. However, the metal screws that come with this light (to use for the installation) are not very good (the screws partly stripped merely from trying to install such), so I ended up getting and using better screws for the installation. There is a glass tube that goes over the light bulb to protect the bulb, and the glass tube screws into the top case (see video). The top case is then inserted into the metal frame through an opening in the top of the frame, and it securely hangs down when in the metal frame. The top case (with the light bulb in it and on) can be quickly and easily removed from the frame and transported to wherever you want to put it. You can easily remove the light bulb and install a different light bulb with a different color, or even install a smart bulb in such.I installed this light on top of a post next to a gate. It has nicely illuminated such area at night with a soft radiant light (see video & photos). The color of such light is consistent with the light being around 2600 to 2800 kelvins.There are many other things this solar powered lamp/light can be used for and in conjunction with to maximize the benefits from this light. For example, I plan on continuing to use this light not only as a source of illumination where installed, but will install in this lamp a smart bulb (with Bluetooth, an internal camera, motion sensor, & night & color vision) to make this outdoor solar lamp a security monitoring device at nighttime, all while having such entirely powered by the sun. You can also line the interior of the glass case/tube with white, colored, multicolor, and paper with designs on such to tone down the brightness of this light, or to give the emitted light a specific design, color, or multiple colors (see photos where I used a candy cane red and while swirl colored paper inside this lamp). Adding white, colored, designed, or multicolored patterned paper to alter the emitted light is something that can be done for holidays, weddings, birthdays, parties, and any other occasions. These are just some ways this outdoor solar lamp/light can be personally customized by consumers so as to maximize its potential, versatility, and benefits.Also, it can be used as a light source during emergencies and power outages. A few days after installing this product, there was a large power outage at night in the area I reside, and because this light can be quickly and easily removed from the light frame (as shown in the video), I decided to use it as an emergency light to provide some indoor lighting during such power outage. I removed the light (leaving the frame and base attached to the post) and brought the light indoors and used it as an emergency light to illuminate my kitchen at night during the power outage (see photos).On a scale of 1 to 5, I give this outdoor solar light an overall rating of 5. While the screws provided to install it are not good, such is a miniscule issue. On the important issues, the light is excellent in every regard: the light and light frame are each good, the frame is strong, sturdy, and durable; the lamp is easy to put together and install; there are two different mounts that can be used, the lamp/light has a great battery life, is waterproof/rainproof, has three different brightness levels, comes with an excellent 3-year warranty, and the rechargeable battery (that is recharged by solar power) that comes with this product can easily be replaced when needed. Moreover, a variety of bulbs and smart bulbs can be used with this product, plus white, colored, and designed paper can be added to the interior of the glass tube for decorative, celebratory, and other purposes. This is overall an excellent light for anyone looking for an outdoor solar powered light, and I highly recommend such for all of these reasons.

Good Lights
Good lights, bright enough and the battery seems to last a decent amount, being charged throughout the day

Love this solar post light.
LUTEC Solar Post Light, Dusk to Dawn Aluminium Solar Lamp Post Light Fixture with Pier Mount Base-This is a very simple solution for lighting where no wiring exists. I love the look of this lamp post light. I don’t have electricity in my yard so hardwire a light so this is a great way to add a light to my gate. The lamp fits a standard 4×4 post. It does have a bracket to make a little bit of an adjustment to the size if needed.The walls of the lamp are real glass which looks great. The light itself is fairly bright but doesn’t do much to add light to see. It’s more of an accent addition. The light works a bit to add some visibility but not quite as much as I hoped. Nonetheless, I love the look of this. They made the panel very sleek as it’s the entire top of the light.The light stays charged for most of the night. It’s a little hard to tell but it seems like it shuts off around 3-4 am when I leave the light on the entire night. I don’t usually change that setting. Even without using this as a post light, it still works great as a solar light on its own.All around I would recommend this. It’s a great-looking light at a reasonable price for the quality. It feels very well made. The glass is thin though so I would make sure it’s protected a little from branches or falling. I would get another set of these lights if this ever stops working.
