It’s like the electric car – great in theory but proformance leaves alot to be desired. Fireflies in a jar, Fireflies in a jar.

Depends on your need for landscape lighting.
I find MOST bright landscape lighting unnecessary & garish. I find the soft subtle solar lights are perfect for most garden uses.
Remeber it is a garden – not the Las Vegas strip!!!

The problem is it is rainy for the past two days and dark and since I have bought them they never charged fully. I bought them two days ago.

So If I want to charge my Malibu Solar batteries with a Charger, what should I care about and how long to charge thnx

Im not sure I would go through the trouble plus I don’t know if they are made to be put in a recharger. You can bring them in the house under the light and they should recharge. This is going to happen on many cloudy days too. Welcome to solar lighting.

They have some solar lights that have two LEDs and some with three LEDs. How do these compare with the standard 4 watt low voltage lights?

About the same but more importantly for solar non-wired lights, what is the average run time? Some cheap ones will last only 4 hours while others can make it all night.
