Brilliant solar lights

I have previously bought lights from this company at my old house. Solar stick on fence lights which were still good after 4 years.
My latest buy 50 bee lights with solar panel. They haven't been installed yet but will go on fence panelling once our flower beds are sorted.
Looking forward to seeing them this summer, like that the solar panel can be quite a way from the lights.

Thank you for your continued support, Denise. We’re delighted to hear your previous lights lasted so well and hope you’ll love the bee lights just as much once they’re installed. The adjustable solar panel positioning is definitely a customer favourite. Enjoy your garden this summer.

The product is really good and provides sufficient light. Arrived quickly, especially as we are in the Highlands.

A little confusing to sell a pack of 8 items and the photo show 10! (Although the description was clearly marked 8).

Would buy again from this company.

Lights arrived quickly and in a rather garish box. But once out of the box and installed on my Gazebo they were excellent. Had to wait until the evening to check I had the Solar panel turned on and also check the light settings. Everything was good the lights arrived in the off mode and I had turned them on. Every night since we have had a twinkling gazebo all night

Great lights but side screws fiddly to line up with casing.

Great lights, battery could have more capacity though.
The problem I had installing them are the tiny, tiny screws at the side, which are very difficult to line up and the bracket should have a - or slot to enable you to move it backwards and forwards while lining up the unit.It doesn't, meaning you have to be spot on while putting the screws in.Otherwise once sorted it's good.

SPV order returned due to faulty lights but no refund sent…

SPV order returned due to faulty lights using there agreed proceedure. Despite confirmation they received he returned goods and numerous promises to send a refund they just did not send the refund. They stopped replying to emails and I note they have removed their telephone number from website making it impossible to speak to them. Had to use my bank dispute service to secure a refund from their bank. Had used them before but never again. Seems they are in severe financial trouble.

We’re sorry you feel this way, as we strongly dispute several claims made in this review. Your return was received and processed in line with our agreed procedure. During busy periods, it can sometimes take slightly longer for returned items to be tested and processed before a refund is issued.

We are, however, pleased the matter was ultimately resolved and that you were satisfied with the outcome.

I do not recommend this company or its products

The two outside solar security lights I ordered both came with cracked solar panels because they had been in adequately packaged. Returning the items was not easy and made more complicated by having to email the company about every stage of the return. It's all done manually. It was very frustrating having to continually ask for a refund rather than a replacement. I would not buy from this company again.

Hi Heather,

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback.

Receiving damaged items is understandably frustrating, and we apologise that the packaging did not meet expectations in this case. We also recognise that the returns process felt more difficult and time-consuming than it should have been, particularly when you were seeking a refund resolution.

Your comments regarding both packaging protection and the manual return communication process have been noted and shared internally for review. We understand how disappointing this experience has been and regret that we did not leave you with the level of service we aim to provide.

Kind regards,
SPV Lights

Highly recommended

We needed to replace our Nighthawk 128 lights & decided to get the 120 large security light too. These are great for lighting up areas of the garden when you come home at night. They brighten paths, door entry & garage door allowing a smooth entry. The lights are well packed & posted out promptly.

Good purchase

Ordered 12 lights for our garden. Arrived well packaged and within time stated. Lights look lovely on our garden fence although I thought they might have been a bit brighter. Still happy with purchase.

My only gripe is I tried contacting SPV via email/chat before I placed my order as wanted to find out the size of each individual light but no one got back to me and there were no details on their website. Almost put me off ordering!
I’m sure I’m not the only person who would have liked the specifications before I placed the order.
