solar lights Sign In/Join

Hey. Looking for a GOOD set of solar path lights. I've noticed this past holiday season that a lot of the "white" Led Christmas lights are actually white now. There's a choice, icey white or warm white. Have solar lights gone warm white yet?? I havn't been able to locate any online yet? I hope. If anyone knows of any please share the link? Also... I hate when battery power is low and they flash. Some fade out.. much rather have that then flash.

Chucky, don't know your location but the cheap solar path lights at Walmart work exceptional for me. I get the ones that are either copper or silver colored with the "head" being about 2". They work all night even when we don't have sun all day.
I think I only paid $3 or $4 apiece for them and they are going on their 3rd yr...no battery replacements. At the price of batteries, I'd just replace the light anyway!

agree with GaKaren, I too, have the westinghouse cheapos from walmart and I've been pleased. some have been good for two years, some have gotten dim. Overall, for the price...I'm happy and they look great in my backyard. I think I have about 15 that are spread out all over the place. Great ambiance!
