I purchased 3 BTR BT 1005 Solar Pro design lights and have had them outside for about a month now. My yard is 100+ft deep and I wanted low-key lighting to define the back of my yard. Regular solar lights were too small and would be covered with snow in winter I'm in Minnesota. I wanted lights to rise above the snow and add a bit of brightness, at the back of my yard, when looking out at a long,dark winter and to break the blackness at the back of my yard in summer.

These are not your standard size solar lights. They are quite large in overall size and height. For snow country and a large yard, great because they are much taller and will rise above the snow. You can find a couple great pictures on the web showing them as Path lights to give you an idea. I'm a research fanatic and knew the size I was buying.

So of the 3 lights, after a one-day charging, only one light lit up the first night and I thought the other two were faulty. On the 3rd day, a second light lit up at the same intensity and length of time as the first. Just when I was sure the 3rd light was a lemon After 5 days it lit up dimmer and only stayed on for a couple hours. So I waited longer vs. returning. The 6th night it lit up equal in brightness to the first two but only stayed lit for about 2 hours vs. 8 or more hours for the other two. We did have a nasty extended winter in MN this year so sun was not at it's most intense. Sun is better now and the 3rd light is staying lit longer. I'm not sure how long yet, but longer than 3 hours. I did buy these lights on sale and I wonder if they were 'last years' or older and had weaker batteries.

They look great just like the picture modern, current, stainless steel. They are very solid and well-built. The light is that very white cool LED light which is so un-warm and a bit startling but that's LED and we're growing used to it. I have read you can buy a liner to insert to make it a warmer color but I can't find the product name right now. These are very nice lights and other than the white light which I expected they are great and I highly recommend for path lighting or a deep yard where regular, small solar lights would be lost.
