These lights look nice lining our sidewalk. The don't put off a lot of light, but the design they make on the ground looks like a wagon wheel or bicycle spokes. I love the design! I just received them this past week and thought they felt rather lightweight being plastic so we'll see how they hold up to the elements. The posts are metal and they were very easy to put together. I recommend when installing that you push the plastic stake in the ground before you slide the metal post over top of part of the stake that will stick out of the ground. Don't use a hammer, just moisten the ground before you insert the stakes. I would recommend these as a fun addition to a pathway or garden, but not for bright lighting of a pathway.
