Solar Torch Lights

These are amazing. Been through storms already and ork perfectly. They were easy to put together and easy to charge. I hammered the bottom piece carefully into the soil right up to the edge of the piece and then slid the other parts in to be sure it was sturdy and deep enough. Simple on off button. They all charged perfectly and came on automatically at dusk and were off in the morning. They look like real flames. I surrounded my sunken hot tub and adjoining fire pit area with them. I designed it all in flagstone and designer rocks with a stone path connecting the two areas. At night it looks like a movie set! I am impressed!

For many years I've been looking for realistic flame-like lamps for various decorative projects — indoors and out — so thrilled to discover these "dancing flame" or flickering LED path lights. More than pleased with their very realistic flame-like motion, brightness, and color. Kudos to whoever designed this product. I can't speak to long term performance as yet (only had these a bit over a week), but the plastic lamp housing appears durable and cleverly designed to enhance the dancing flame effect at close range by strategically masking the gaps between individual LEDs and reinforcing the illusion of continuous moving flames, a kind of spatial analog to the "magic" of using rapidly displayed still frames to create the illusion of motion pictures. The dancing effect itself is complex and random enough that it feels quite natural — not mechanical or repetitive — and the shape and size of the flames are very satisfactory. I purchased a pair of these with the idea of attempting to adapt one of them for use in a concrete (faux stone) Japanese garden lantern. We'd lived in Japan for several months and noticed that these ornamental lanterns are sometimes illuminated with candles or lamps, especially in temple gardens, but we didn't want the risk or inconvenience of an open flame here in southern California. The adaption (see accompanying video) worked better than I'd hoped. Basically, I separated the LED lamp unit from the housing that contains the solar panel/sensor and the on/off switch and reconnected them with two six-foot double cords (4 wires total). This so that the solar panel assembly could be positioned at a distance from the Japanese garden lantern to preserve aesthetic qualities. The original housing containing solar panel and switch is inconspicuously staked several feet away amidst low shrubbery, and connected to the LED lamp unit via extension wires coming up through a central hole in the bottom of the lamp. To be on the safe side, I strung the wires through a short piece of electrical conduit (see video) to thwart enthusiastic gardeners severing it with shovels or trowels. The conduit will eventually disappear under mulch and plants. I'd tried this re-wiring trick in years past with other solar lights without success — I'd never been able to get them to charge properly — but splicing the extra lengths of wire into this device was easy and hasn't seemed to have impaired the charging, switching, or operating of the lights a bit. I used crimp-on connectors for both the butt splices and the "disconnect" pairs (placed so that the LED lamp can be easily installed and removed for maintenance or replacement without taking the whole setup apart). Detail: Since I had exactly 4 wires to deal with, I used two different styles of disconnects (bullet and blade) and alternated the male/female ends so that each of the 4 wires can only connect with its proper mate. Avoids decomposable labeling or trial-and-error fussing. Since this is outdoors, I added drops of hot glue to seal the connectors to prevent moisture getting in and corroding the wires. A few drops of hot glue in the reassembled solar panel/switch housing relieves the strain from the wires. Disassembling and modifying the unit no doubt voids the warranty, but it's lots of fun! As you can see in the video, the effect is pretty convincing. I kept one of the lamps as-is and placed it in another corner of our garden to compare performance with the modified set-up, and so far both are performing flawlessly and beautifully. Both are placed in partial open shade, but the generous size of the solar panels appears to be enough to charge the battery for at least 3-4 hours full strength. We'll see how they do in the winter with fewer hours of sunlight. If need be, I'll reposition the solar panels — another plus of separating them from the LED lamp. I'll try to remember to report back here in a few months. My usual critics (read "family") loved these lights so much they requested a couple more to place elsewhere around the garden. I've purchased two different "brands" of these lights — one 20% cheaper than the other — and it appears they are really just different vendors — the lamps themselves — right down to the instruction sheets — are absolutely identical, so I'd suggest shopping around for the best price per unit at any given time. A good way to find all the options seems to be to search Amazon for specific features such as "96-LED" or "Dancing Lights" or... well, you know how to experiment with search terms.

I purchase.s 3,sers Actually of these and a few sets of the smaller short ones which paled in comparison. l, purchased them all in NOVEMBER 2022 the smaller ones lasted until the summer of 2025 but the larger ones are still going strong! The only reason the smaller ones didn’t last as long is that the plastic ddenigrated in the Las Vegas heat!!!! I am jusrcAMAZED that these worked so well for so longl. My backyard faces north so in the winter the lights did not get too much sun so lhey didn’t stay lit for long. Come the next print ibthought I’d have to replace them but to my surprise they were still lit at 4am! I left them at my house when I sold it in. Feb ‘26 because they would fall apart if I moved them! But they still were bright andc lovely in the dark. m back for more. My daughter is getting married in a garden so I’m going to be buying many sets!! I seldom leave reviews but this product is worthy of the attention !!

Love these lights. The flames look real. I had bought a set of 8 last year and enjoy them along my driveway. I bought another set to go around my pool. The flames look realistic!!!

Quality seems good. Disappointed with lack of 360 design to make it look more like a flame and in general make it look better and hide the white light globe. My current set this is going to replace look nicer with 360 design and a better orange flame color.

Worth the money, these lights are very pretty and look like fire

We have had these solar lights around our pool for 4 years now never turning them off and they are still working perfectly. Great product.

Love these solar lights - they flicker in the evening like mini olympic flames and a number of people have commented they look unique and lovely. Nicer "glow" effect than simple outdoor lighting.

Despite the claim the height of the item is much lesser than 43 inches as advertised. The main reason being instead of 2 plastic poles, only one is provided in the pack. The max height would be only 30 inches! Much shorter than advertised

Por alguna razón, no me deja subir una foto o evidencia del producto. Los paneles que tiene este producto, son los que compara en su misma presentación con los de “otros proveedores” solo tiene cuatro líneas muy delgadas, y no como presume en las imágenes que tiene hasta 10. Sin embargo han iluminado bien hasta ahorita y funcionan a la perfección. por esa razón y porque en la caja nunca viene la marca TomCare, cuando eso siempre ha venido en otros productos que he comprado de la marca, además la calidad del producto, todo es de plástico corriente. Y ahora más por que no me permite subir evidencia (foto y/o video), está extraño. Lo compré a $1570 pesos, Noviembre 2024. “Buen fin” espero les sirva la referencia, para exigir que vendan producto de calidad. Yo me dejé guiar por las referencias, aunque ahora puede ser que sea cuestión de suerte que te pueda llegar. Pediré la devolución.

I’m in year 4 and they still work. Keep them on all the time. Don’t turn the button in the off position in the fall and then back on in the spring. Leave them outside all year long and they will last

I love these lights. The flames look so real.

Lo instale en octubre 2020 (12 faroles) y después de 8 meses todos funcionan a la perfección, cargan muy bien a la sombra, la intensidad de la luz es muy buena y muy real, se prenden casi al mismo tiempo todas y se apagan igual saliendo el sol. resistentes a la lluvia fuerte, viento y frío, en casa tengo lamparas fuertes y no les afecta a las antorchas como se puede ver en el video. super recomendables, yo las limpio con agua cada 15 días para quitar polvo y sarro en época de lluvia y las seco con tela de algodon. INCREIBLE: 29 meses de uso continuo y las 12 lamparas continuan funcionando al 100% super recomendables
