Thoughts on lighting a pathway in the evening/at night, about 3-4 ft apart? do you think they will be bright enough? Thanks.

No I do not, I also find the batteries go really fast, and I'm not sure if they can be used for outside...

I do not think that the candles will provide enough light. I would recommend low voltage lighting. Very easy to install and you do not face battery replacement. Good Luck

Depends, if your pathway is very dark (no streetlights) then yes it would be bright enough.

That question has a lot of variables to it... Depending on your lighting configuration, and depending on how 'bright' you want the lighting, they may. If you want it like daylight, you're going to use an awful lot of them, and you're going to need a pretty big transformer to run them. Like any light, elevation and position make a big difference in coverage. Because of the length of the area you're trying to light, locating them all in one group may not do it... they'd likely have to be spread out a bit if you want even lighting across the whole area. For the price, you may want to pick up just one, and play around with it to figure out how much light and where it would need to be located to get the coverage you're looking for.

I have eight of them working o n different angles of my property. I'm quite happy with the clarity during the day and with light they are pretty good at night. The infra red works great in close proximity. UIf You don't mind an estimation ,,I would say they are good out to about 40 degrees. Wider with distance.

They would actually be perfect. They are bright. I use mine outside to illuminate some steps, and just one light does the job!

Minimal light. I use them to line some steps, about 2-3 ft apart. Let's you see where To step, but not bright.

Yes. I live in Colorado and the temps here will get well below zero and the lights continue to work. The shorter days will mean that they may not last through the night but even on the shortest days here I still get at least 8 hours.

Sort of, I have mine 20 ft. up in a tree to provide light in the yard below. It is a soft glow. If you were trying to light something you wanted people to see from the street I would suggest going to a brighter one.

Yes, I've been disappointed in many solar lights. Finally some makers are putting the lumens on the box. I purchased some Westinghouse solar lights this Spring at WalMart - I think they were 40 or 50 lumens. I have them under some birch trees in our front yard, and they light the trees for several hours after sundown. Not quite as bright as low voltage lights we used to have, but a whole lot less hassle with broken wires and burned out bulbs. Each year the company that makes Westinghouse seems to increase the brightness, so I'm wondering what we'll see in 2015. tAKE CARE

I honestly think you will be okay, they are not as bright as I thought they would be. I have the 24" on a 20gal long with plants and am going to upgrade to something brighter. Hope this helps you.

I have two of these lights and they are rather dim. I wouldn't use them as a light at a main entrance because they may not be bright enough. Hope this answers your inquiry. Gail Hampe, Muncy, PA

They give off a lot of light but I think two would not be enough. All depends on how much light you are looking for. I think four of these would be much better

Not enough light for anything but ambiance. More like the light from a bright candle. I noticed that the ones I put outside didn't last. I think it may do something to the battery. I keep mine in a sunny window and they light up every night after the house lights are out.

I would suggest that you at least light them off in an open field of open back yard. I have a small back yard and the houses are close together. I lited one and set it off, almost landed on the neighbors roof, pretty scarey!

If at all possible try to split in 2 directions so you have 2 power supplies, supplying 30 ft each. should keep the intensity bright. I used 2 strips off one power supply and had a great affect, only I did not tie them end to end as you would need to do, but the lights were very bright and worked very well with one power supply. hope this helps, good luck.

I use them in a 3 lamp light stand to illuminate my computer, they work great. But in a dark garage, maybe you will need 3 to 4 units to make it light. As for burning out, led's have a long life like about 25,000 hours and I expect mine to have mine for a long time. They have a great white light and really shine great. Try one or two to see if they would work OK. I tried Compact fluorescent lights in my garage but they didn't work too well. During cold weather they would not come on so I went back to regular bulbs. But I would like an LED light for the garage. Hope this helps Paul

I don't think these lights would do very good outside. If you put all three together... maybe. However they are also toggle on/off by pressing the lense. I use them in my basement to illuminate a pretty precise area.

To give good light I would suggest 4-6 feet apart depends on part if you are using 7 or 11 watt bulbs.
