Solar lighting is making great strides. The prices are dropping while the quality of the light is getting better thanks to energy-saving LED bulbs. Hoont's solar spotlight provides good quality accent lighting and is super-easy to install.
Positives:
-Assembly and installation are easy. There are five steps: 1) take the protective film off of the solar panel, 2) turn on the solar panel with the switch on the back (also choose if you want bright or low light), 3) put the stake on the bottom of the panel (they fit together snugly and go together easily), 4) stake the device into the ground, 5) adjust the panel and the light so that the light aims where you want it and the panel gets the most exposure to the sun.
-the device recharges quickly.
-it is waterproof,
-it works in very cold temperatures. We just had a stretch of below zero days and the light worked perfectly.

-This would be great to take camping.
-It turns itself on and off automatically.
-Recharges in 8 hours of sunlight.
Negatives:
It does not shine throughout the night. Granted, we are in February and there are more dark hours than light hours right now, but it would be great to use this as a dependable security light.
-HOONT says that the batteries will last 18 months and then will need to be replaced. The battery case has screws so it should be easy enough but...who knows?
I was skeptical when I first saw this product but it does work.
At the time of my review, each light was $22.95 on Amazon.com. Click here to check on current pricing:The Hoont™ Bright Outdoor LED Solar Spotlight / Solar Powered Outdoor Light
Note: I received one free light to try out in order to write an honest review.
