These aren't like the gaudy solar lights from years ago. If you're on the fence about purchasing this set, I highly recommend you buy them. The design is sleek and modern. The light itself is beautiful; it is rich and illuminating. The discs convert the solar power very well and charge up rather quickly. The edges are smooth and the materials have a quality feel to them. I used mine to line my path from the back slider door to the shed. Works very well to light my way and bring my attention to any obstructions. Would rate these higher if possible.
