As we all know the economy os on a rise with increases on everything. When I went to buy regular solar lights like this at the hardware stuff it was very pricey and also hardly came with anything. So I pray that these lights will hold up and thats also why I got such a big stash of them in case of faulty ones as we go or down the line. I only need about 8 to line our tree with but since these are a but smaller I may go for about 12. Then maybe I could use the rest on walkway but not into the grass.
