Lights are brilliant so far.

Lights are brilliant so far. Very bright and efficient. Sticky pads are useless as back of light has four protruding screw mounts which stop pads from connecting with a flat surface.

After less than 2 months one of the lights stopped working completely and another only works intermittently. Sticky pads did not stick at all, so I had to revert to using a drill something I was trying to avoid. They say there is a 2-year guarantee but you have to return them at your own expense, (unless they are returned within 90 days of purchase) misleading advertising in my opinion. I have no idea how long they haven't been working, as I don't go out much at night! Even so, I don't like buying returns when faulty goods can't be returned free. Cannot recommend.

LIGHT not functioning - problem return?

Received two lights - however one is not functioning in any mode. Placed on south facing sunny wall. Sticker on back which paid for separately also needs to be refunded or exchanged. They promise on Facebook a RETURNS VOUCHER should a problem occur??
Forwarded both Email & order number plus phone number on two occasions-however each time receive following response:-
"Oops! We couldn't find your order. Please check if you entered the right email address / phone number and order number."
My order number is 163173379C972234F
My invoice ID is r4PSdk0SH9tbvbZQwun6MYnGr
Would like to receive either a return voucher or preferably now as spent so much time on problem - and do not trust that a further light will work - a return payment of £13.00.

2023 reviews are dreadful!

Interesting how all the reviews for 2023 are 0ne star!!
I ordered 100 solar fairy lights, initially to use for Christmas. However, despite the assurances on the website that these would work in our British weather, and despite following all the charging instructions, they gave us less than 2 hours performance. I have e-mailed 3 times, and phoned 3 times -to be told each time the mailbox is full!! Are they in liquidation ??

Paid £40 on 9th December 2023 for four solar security lights, it's now 20th December 2023 and still no delivery. I believe the term is called FRAUD. They don't give a toss, what a shambles this firm are. Still haven't offered me a refund, stay well clear of this so called company.

Poor quality

Update. So like most of the reviews the lights are great at first. But all four of mine failed within 10 months. Hard work to get the company to honour any warranty but eventually they sent me four more FOC. However one of these has failed within a month.

Avoid and buy elsewhere.

When I ordered I was promised delivery in 2- 3 working days. It took them 3 days to pass to the courier. The courier is Evri and it looks like delivery will be 5 or 6 working days at least. Company don't respond to emails and it seems they remove negative comments from their Facebook page.

What the lights are like will have to report later.
