These are great lights! They worked right out of the package even though it said they needed to be left in the sun to charge first. The lights are white but not so bright they are obnoxious. I put ours on the deck to see how they would look but I think I'm going to use them in the front instead because I'm not loving the look of the warm lights we already have hanging from the fence above the deck mixed with these new ones. I was worried they wouldn't get enough sun to charge in the front since it's mostly shaded but they sat in a box for who knows how long and still work so that shouldn't be a problem. They are small and come with hanging/attaching screws so all that's left is to find a good spot and hang them up. I like that the area for catching the sun is large and angled making it easier to place the lights any direction and still catch the sun's rays.
