I bought the bright blue one and it is lovely. Just bright enough to be able to see at night but not too bright. The color is a cobalt blue. Automatic timer - goes off during day, comes on at night. Made of plastic but for the price, it cannot be beat. The red one is not as vibrant and does not give off good lighting. I would go for the blue if I were someone wanting adequate light to see at night but not too bright.
