Inaccurate Website Description
I love the product, but it does not work according to the description given in the shopping purchase. I even returned the first LeiDrail product because I thought it was defective. Here is what I discovered when I received my second replacement.
1. You MUST hang the product in direct sunlight. The description states that it can be hung anywhere. This is not accurate. I hung the product under my front porch. It does get some sunlight, but not enough to keep it charged to stay lit through the night.
2. Hanging the product in direct sunlight is NOT good. Yes, it charges the solar component, but it buckles the product. Texas heat was a good test for this product. It can not withstand Texas heat hanging the product in the summer heat of Texas. So, this is another inaccurate description mentioned for shoppers to believe.
3. The third factor deals with ambient lighting. Even though I hung my product under my front porch, the neighbor across the street has a flood light that shines onto my porch for 4 hours after the sun sets. Therefore, the flood light interferes with my product and either drains the solar charge, or mixes the product up between day light and moon light. Therefore, this is another inaccurate description because it does not state that the consumer can NOT hang the product in a place where ambient light interferes with the time of day.
I love the sleek and elegant design of the product, but it can not with withstand mounting the product in direct Texas sunlight. The product will not charge under a porch where there is NOT enough sunlight to charge the product. Even though the description states that it will charge on cloudy and/or rainy days, mounting the product on a covered porch does NOT allow appropriate sunlight needed for the product to work effectively.
I am keeping the product, but I am disappointed that it will NOT stay lit for the entire night. The description states that the product will turn on at dusk and turn off at dawn. This is NOT accurate if the product is mounted in a low sun lit area. Please correct your description that states that it can be hung anywhere.
If I want my product to stay lit for the entire night, I have to take it off the screw mount and place it where indirect sunlight can charge the product, and then hang it back up under my porch. As you can see, I have tested this product in many ways and have written my conclusions in this product review for other consumers to take careful consideration where the product is mounted.
