The lights that Edward linked to were delivered yesterday & installed. They look like quality pieces and put out a fair amount of light. Time will tell how long they will last.
Fingers crossed

As some of us mentioned, the only issue is the solar cell getting cloudy after a few years of continuous exposure.
Cheap ones only seem to last a single season.
On the ones I linked to, I was able to use plastic cleaner, the kind for refreshing headlights, to clean up the the clarity a little and they look a bit nicer.
I have a type of wall mounted lights (like these) that the cell clouded over/failed to work. I was able to find new inserts for them on Amazon. A lot less expensive than the entire light fixture, not to mention the removal and installation.
I hope they work out for you Bruce.
Thanks Edward. Just from the looks of them I’m sure they will be a big improvement over what I’ve bought before.
I have several of these in the backyard that have been surprisingly reliable for ~3 years now. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...e?ie=UTF8&th=1
I polish out the solar panels once/twice a year with Novus plastic polish, it makes them look new in just a couple of minutes. At 5700 feet, the New Mexico UV can be brutal on plastics.
