Well built
I was pleasantly pleased with the metal construction of the lights. The bulbs were the MR11 10W type which are easily changed. The low voltage connectors worked perfectly. Time will tell how they hold up.

Nice looking and well made...
I used these around an "island" in the center of my driveway. During the winter months when it's dark earlier, delivery drivers tend to catch the blocks that make up a short wall around the "island." Adding some lights around the perimeter really helps keep everyone from dragging tires on this area. The lights are well designed and give off a nice even spread of light. I got the wood grain look ones and they look very nice against the bushes and shrubs. These don't come with a transformer so you'll need to get that separately.One thing to note and this is really common with low voltage landscape lighting is the connectors. They are a pinch type connector where you lay the wire in-between "spikes" that compress into the wire, puncturing the insulation and making the connection. How well this works depends on a couple things, mostly being the gauge of the wire you have and also how tight you can actually get them. Over time this connection is going to fail. If you have existing lights that you've changed bulbs and still they don't work, it's almost 99% guaranteed that it's this connection. The better way to splice landscape lightinhg is to use direct burial wire nuts. These are going to last much longer.

Brighter than expected
I wasn't going to buy LED landscape lights due to past experience's where they just weren't very bright. I initially took the diffuser covers off so they would be brighter only to put them back on the first night because they were so bright. Started with one set and bought two more.

Quality Control Issues
These landscape path lights look nice and seem like they should be great at first glance, but there are quality control issues. Upon opening my box, I found that one of the glass diffusers was shattered. I found that odd since each light is individually wrapped in bubble wrap and the box was in perfect condition. Also, it was delivered inside a larger Amazon box with a few other items, all of which were also in perfect condition. Based on that, I do not believe that the damage came from shipping, but rather that one of the lights was damaged at the factory during the packing process and was still somehow sent out in a box of 6 lights.Additionally, once I tried installing them, only 2 of the remaining 5 worked as intended because the connectors are poorly designed and are easily broken during the installation process. A big flaw in the connector design is that the metal piece that connects the wire from the light fixture that is supposed to pierce your landscaping wire easily slips out of the plastic housing, making the connection non-functional. I tried to get the wire and metal piece back together within the plastic housing but I couldn't get them to work.I initiated a return and replacement because of the number of damaged/defective items in my first box. In the second box that I received, I had the same problem with the connectors. Between the two boxes, I was able to cobble together 6 working lights and return all of the lights that didn't work. It shouldn't be necessary for the consumer to have to go through multiple boxes to achieve success with one box worth of lights.Once installed, these lights look great. The metal housing and glass diffuser look very nice and they seem like they'll be durable. The glass diffuser is covered with a plastic lattice styled sleeve that gives these lights a unique look that cuts down a bit on the glare from the lights if you look directly at them. If you prefer a more standard look where you can see the entire glass diffuser, you can slide the sleeve off and achieve that look. I also like that the LED bulbs use a small amount of electricity and are replaceable. A lot of similar LED fixtures these days do not have the ability to have a bulb changed due to the LED light being built in. The entire unit is meant to be replaced once the light goes bad. The idea is that LED lights will last a very long time and that the entire fixture will be ready to be replaced by the time the LED chip stops working, which is generally fine, but in my experience, it can be a bit hit and miss whether the LED chips actually last as long as advertised. Sometimes they do, but sometimes they don't. It's nice that these fixtures can remain in place and have the LED bulb replaced if the bulb fails.I really wanted to love these and once I was able to achieve a full functioning set I really did like the end result, but the quality control and connector issues are a big drawback in my opinion. If you really like the look of these and are prepared to put in some work getting together a full set of 6 functioning lights (if necessary), these definitely have some upside to them. However, if you don't want to take the risk that the process is going to be a bit of a headache, there are other similar products on the market that I've used that don't have quality control issues.

What I was expecting
These are robust lights with no sign of fading from the hot Florida sun. A big improvement from what I had. Nice I can replace the bulbs when the time comes.

Beware, they are not waterproof
Of the set of six purchased, four had accumulated water and the bulbs fried. They were loaded with water. Although I liked the outside design of these, to have four of the six quit after 7 months I would avoid these in the future.

Great for pathway lights
Got these to replace some solar lights we had in the same locations for one of our pathways...overall I'm impressed with these lights. Construction seems pretty solid and it's nice that the LED lamp can be replaced. I did get one that had a small chip broken on the bottom of the glass that screws in over the LED lamp, but not enough to really affect it...still screws down fine. The stakes are plastic, but do seem sturdy and I was able to hammer them into the ground without issue. The wire connectors were also quite easy to hook up...I don't have too much experience with LED wiring, but do like these that simply screw onto flat wire...hopefully they'll hold up over time, but could be cut off if needed. Didn't seem to make a difference which side of the wire connector was touching +/-, but I put all the lights on in the same orientation to the wire.

Looks great, nice moderate level landscape lighting
This light set looks very nice. The lights are in the medium range, not too bright or too dim. They worked perfectly by the rock wall leading to our garage. My husband said the installation was easy, particularly if you have set up landscape lighting before. And because they are low voltage, they don’t use a lot of power. We would recommend these.
