In the winter with little sun light, the solar lights will last five to six hours. In the spring it lasts between six to seven hours, and this summer it will last between seven to nine hours. It all depends on the hours of sun and it they are in direct sunlight all of the time. On your second question, why would you convert a solar light to a wired (120V) light fixture? I have six concrete pillars in my circular driveway, and each pillar used a single 40W 120V light bulb. I changed from these electric lights to solar lights to save on my electric bill.

I wish I could give you an accurate answer, however, new have only had the light for about a month. We really do love it. It is not blinding light, but a very soft accent lamp. We have not noticed any dimness of the light since we put it out. I have recommended this light to my family and friends, and would do to anyone who is looking for a non-wired light!

It is Not batter powered...you will need an electrician to install to the wires in the ceiling...it hooks up like any regular ceiling light fixture

I used a 12v battery ( which is charged from a solar panel,) to power the timer and the led strip lights. Works perfectly. Lights run 4 hours a day, timer is always drawing a small amount of power from the battery.

They are not solar, you plug them into an outlet. It is one long strand of lights. The kit comes with tiny stakes that you can place in any pattern and they hold each light. The lights then sit a little bit above the ground. It can present a tripping hazard if you put it in a high traffic area. That said the are a unique decoration and look good on their own or under snow (they still work under snow). The only problem I had was when it got extremely cold the lights no longer worked until the weather got warmer.

My lights stopped working also after approx. 2 months we checked the battery in the solar and it was dead. We wired ours to the electric socket rather than putting them in the garbage!

As it is a solar powered light I believe I would opt for a battery version. Light has to hit the charge area for it to work.

This light uses 3 AA batteries, and I don't know how long they last - I haven't changed mine yet. (I started using mine around Dec/Jan.) This is a task light - not a light I leave on constantly, although I do use it frequently. LED lights usually are easy on batteries, so I'm going to guess that the batteries will be good for some time to come. I still love this little light - super bright, lightweight - but not easy to tip over, directional and adjustable, and so convenient because you can use it almost anywhere and takes very little space. Hope this helps you!

Jana, Thank you for your purchasing. The light also use the solar panel as a light sensor. if you put the panel indoor in daytime, the lux indoor still can make the panel works(very small current), and the circuit will think it still in day time and the led light is off. But if you cover the panel by sth. , the panel will no output, and the circuit will think it is at night and will let the light on.And since it is in winter, the sunshine is not so powerful to full charge the battery inside in many area. In summer, the working time will be longer.

Hi there,It can be set up to light up all night. And if you can make sure it got at least 4 hours direct sunlight then it should be able to last at least 40 hours.Thanks,EESGI

Since my review of these, I found out that the battery can be replaced. These advertise as having a 600mAH NiMH battery. Mine had a 400mAH battery. I opened the black box and replaced the battery with a larger strength battery at full charge and they now work great again. I don't think the sun is strong enough to indefinitely charge the battery. It needs to be fully charged in a NiMH battery charger (do not use NiCD- nickel cadmium). So far, these lights have been brightly glowing on my dining room table for the last 3 nights. It's worth a shot, since they truly are very pretty. I did learn that the higher the number on the NiMH battery, the longer the lights will function. I had a 1850 that I experimented with and it is working. Don't know if the sun strength and duration is good enough to recharge it. That's my next experiment. Hope this helped.

Question 1: Yes, if you modify it, as it's molded to be a wall fixture, but it's only abut 2.5 feet long, so it's not very realistic. #2: I think it takes two AA batteries. #3: Battery life depends on usage. #4: it turns itself off after 15 minutes.

hi friend, thanks for your inquiry. The working time via batteries depends on the battery version. Different battery has different capacity. It' hard to say. The light is 30W which is not high power. Pls don't worry.We recommend to get 2 lights which is more versatile. You also could get one to try and another.Hope the information is helpful for you. Your any question is welcome.

I have had this light for about 6 months and it is still working. Being a solar light it doesn't run out of batteries. The light is not bright but it works well for where I used it.

I may be reading your question wrong, but the light is powered off house current, not solar cell.

It's LED and it runs on batteries, not solar power. As long as you keep fresh batteries in it then it'll keep running. :)

There is room for more, though the slots are not all wired. I honestly can't recall if we added one, or two. I want to say two. We did that to extend the period of light because of seasonal shading. I know that the come on at dark (which here is currently about 8/8:30) and are still lit when I come downstairs at 6. Original batteries, almost a year.

It only has one 800 solar type battery so, unless you have a full day of sun, it won't last thru the night. You need a full day of sun in order for this one to work thru the night. It has 2 battery compartments but, it's not wired for 2 batteries which of course, doesn't make sense.
