These LED solar lamps are not durable.
I ordered 2 sets of these to hang outside. The lights are gorgeous at night. Charged up in the sun no issues.
Now the problems. 1 out of the 4, the hanger broke off the mounting plate, the light came down with it and the LED broke.
3 of the others came down in wind, and 1 of them also broke the LED. None of the heavy duty cages stayed attached leaving the LED essentially unprotected.
I had them up less than a week.
To be honest I'll probably replace the 2 broken ones and come up with my own solutions.

So of the original 4, I used steel wire to loop the light cage to the hook/mounting plate.
I also hot glued the light to the cage with a few dots of glue.
The two lights did well. So I bought another pair and made the same changes.
A around a week later, one of the hook/mounting plates (the exact location where I just replaced the hook/mounting plate that originally failed) failed with poor welds? to blame again. The LED on this one broke at the post on one end so I was able to repair that part.
So far, 30% failure rate on their hook/mounting plates.
The lights also seperate easily at the pivoting hoop that you hang them with. The hoops are very thin and do not penetrate far into the light top.
I won't be buying any more of these, poor QC or just plain poor quality product.
