MEIKEE Outdoor Lights 8 Pack

This is not a robust light. It cost little and does give a good amount of light. After buying one, I bought another light.

Good lighting/brightness. On always on, unit stays lit for about 4hours. On motion only, it stays lit for about 15-20 seconds. Lighting distance is good for me at about 10ft and illuminates the pond waterfall area as I need. Easy to setup - adjust the solar panel angle, aim, tighten to secure, and select lighting option (motion-only after dusk; 1/2 bright on at dusk with increased brightness when motion detected; and 100% brightness after dusk until battery dies).I like this product and do recommend.

These lights have been great for adding ambient lighting to my yard for visual appeal & better vision when letting the dogs out at night. They are a very fair price and the install is actually pretty easy once you understand the instructions! Only issue so far is that one of the lights seems to have some fog/ be damp under the lens so I will have to monitor that.. hoping it does not prevent the light from working

First... I purchased two (2) of the MEIKEE 7W LED Landscape Lights Pathway Lights 12V/24V Spotlights (Warm White 8 Pack - 64000022-WW). These kits do NOT include wire, connectors or transformer (as described at the top of the product page). I knew this before I purchased, but wanted to make sure anyone purchasing this is aware that they will need to purchase those items separately.Second... I read a lot of the negative reviews and wanted to clarify a few things: as described (and I mentioned above), this does not include wire, connectors or transformer. It is a 45 degree beam light as described (not 90 degree as some complained about). The power wire is 1M long (3.3 feet), which is very helpful when trying to keep connections to a minimum and/or keep your main power feed buried and away from view. All lights (16 of them) were brand new, in excellent condition and all worked out of the box.Third... the product is very misleading as to voltage and electric type... and I wanted to clarify for the technical folks reading this. The product description states 12V - 24V supported (but doesn't declare AC or DC - FYI: most landscape lighting transformers are 12V AC). See the attached pictures... the box shows "12V - 24V DC or 12V - 18V AC"... but the tiny manual states "12V - 24V AC / DC"... and last, the light has a sticker that states "12V - 24V DC" (no mention of AC). Knowing how AC and DC works... and my transformer is within the voltage range (12V AC)... I figured I would test one on it, and it worked perfectly fine. I ended up using a Malibu 200W transformer for the 16 lights (@7W each, is 112 watts, leaving me way below the 75% max load for extended life of the transformer, which is 150 watts).Next up... Quality. I have read the negative reviews commenting about poor quality of the fixture bracket (where the spike is attached). Yes, this is not the strongest bracket in the world... but unless you are forcing the light into the ground or putting side pressure on the light, it will never bend. It is sturdy, above the amount of mechanical support needed for a light of this size (but it would be good if the manufacturer added gusset indents, like the sides have, into the lower corners of the bracket - this would eliminate most all of the side to side bending). Out of the 16 lights I assembled, only one bracket had a slight bend in it (see attached picture), which I was able to square up with the squeeze from a pair of pliers. The spikes are very light cast aluminum and should be installed into loosened soil (as the instruction manual states). I do not expect these to break if installed properly and no crazy forces are applied against them... install them properly (and with common sense) and they'll work perfectly fine and should last without any issue.Last... I read some negative reviews about lights being used, broken, rusted, etc. These are other sellers trying to lower the ranking of this product. I do not work for this company, nor a competitor... nor do I even do work in the industry and / or with companies based in China. I am a local home owner in New Jersey who just didn't want to pay over $30 a light at the Big Box stores. I bought these at $53.99 (8 pack), which worked out the $6.75 a light. Go to your local Big Box and see what they are selling them for. I looked at the fancy ones there (which are closer to $50 a light) and the casing and quality of the light enclosure was the same (those expensive lights do have nicer spikes and brackets). One major difference is that many of the Big Box brands allows for is replacement the bulb... but at what cost? I will be buying an extra set of 8 of these and will keep them as spares... the 6.75 a fixture (with the LED bulb) will be less expensive then replacing just the bulb on those units. Also... be sure to see what type of bulb they have in the Big Box units... many of the units that allow you replace the bulb are still using Halogen bulbs (especially the less expensive $15 - $20 lights)... these draw a lot more wattage, which will tax your transformer over time. Plus... as everything switches over to LED, it will becoming harder to find these bulbs in the future.Assembly Tips: See attached pictures. In the kit there is the light, a spike, a wall mounting screw kit (with 3 screws and wall anchors), a bell housing for wall mounting, an Allen wrench and a small screw kit for the wall mount or spike installation to the light fixture / bracket. I am only doing spike mounts, so my pictures reflect that assembly process. I was able to assemble 4 lights in under 8 minutes (unpacking, unbagging, uncoiling the wire and putting it all together)... so about 2 minutes a light. Once all opened up and ready to go, take the Allen-head screw and place one of the small spring washers on it, followed by the flat washer. Put this screw / washer assembly through the bottom hole of the bracket and hold it in place with one hand. Using your other hand... thread the spike to the screw, being careful to not cross-thread the screw into the spike. Once the screw gets hard to hold, place the included wrench in the screw and continue to tread the spike onto the screw and finally finish up and tighten the spike to the bracket by holding the spike and turning the screw with the wrench. I personally cranked down on these and had no issues with stripping or the spike breaking... but use common sense when doing this. Once the spike was attached, I carefully took the wire leads and connected them to an unplugged transformer, plugged it in and tested each light. All 16 lights I received worked and presented the same amount of brightness (at least to my eyes - no special testing tools used for that, I am not that crazy).I will be installing these lights tomorrow and will post an update with pictures of the installation, wiring connectors used, how I ran my wires, made my terminations and how it looks at night. I will be using 2 main feeds, 6 lights on one feed and 9 lights on the other. All feeds will be on 12 Gauge wire and the 9 light feed will extend about 100 feet away from the transformer, so I will be able to show any loss in brightness due to load on the feed and distance from the transformer (if any - I don't expect any with 12 Gauge wire and such low wattage on the feed).I hope this review helps. Cheers!

This light is very bright and installs easily.
