They make a pretty pattern when on at night. The light emitted is very light, not too bright but enough to see. Great for places where you don't want too much light. Expect one around every 6 ft at most to create enough light. I don't like that they all turn on at different times, but it has to do with the solar area. The ones that are placed in areas that are darker will turn on sooner than those with slightly more light. Overall, I do like them, and they are not expensive.
