Remember that awful post about a month ago about coming attractions? Where I mentioned lighting and some products heading my way for review? Well this arrived a week later:
Unfortunately that was smack dab in the middle of the June of rain and no sun, so I couldn't really set out the solar lights to charge until last week:
They work! And thank goodness because I had a fit of cleaning in the early spring and tossed the ugly mismatched half-broken lights I had scattered around the garden:
Now where to put them? I love copper and have touches of it around the garden. I definitely wanted to light the patio garden and had to have a light by the copper bird-bowl:
And look at the nice reflection I got in the water:
Two in the veggie garden:
This photo is from the opposite angle:
And what's a pool without lighting? And though I haven't decided what to do with the birdfeeder yet (don't want birds hanging out over the pool), the copper accents together are pretty:
Reverse angle again:
Many thanks to CSN Lighting for the quality product and good customer service.
very nice!

We have stainless steel looking solor lights - found at a local discount store - that also work realy well. But the real test is whether they will work next year when not brand spankin' new. Still, I love the LED glow they give to pathways.

Jonquil -- Thanks! I'm enjoying them.
Joene -- I hear ya. My solar floodlights (a few years old) just stopped working, but I think if I replace the rusty battery they may start working again. But that means I have to find where the box of spare batteries is and I haven't seen that in quite some time!
