Deneve Flag Pole Light Solar Powered, 26 LED, Fits 15-25 Ft Poles, Silver

Pros: Excellent night illumination, durable (my last one lasted years) Cons: Misleading Amazon listing/photos **Edited** I'm changing this to a five star review. I wrote the following review just to warn people that the ornamental ball shown in the picture isn't included in the box. Without my asking they issued me a full refund. This is a first rate company!! This is actually my second Deneve solar flagpole light. My first one lasted for several years and worked flawlessly until my flagpole unfortunately broke and crushed it. Because I loved the performance of the original, I immediately ordered a replacement. The light itself is excellent and does a fantastic job keeping the flag lit at night. However, I am knocking down the rating because of the misleading Amazon listing. ⚠️ What You Need to Know Before Buying: The top ornament/ball is NOT included. The product pictures clearly show the top piece holding the light in place, but it does not come in the box. The listing description misses this detail. While the physical box explicitly states the ornament isn't included, I couldn't find that warning anywhere on the Amazon description page. Because of this, I had to wait and place a separate order just to get the piece needed to secure the light to the pole. If you already have a functional top piece or don't mind ordering one separately, this is a great, reliable light. Just be prepared for the extra step!

This solar flag light is FABULOUS!! It arrived so fast, in a very thick and sturdy box, undamaged. I placed the light out in the sun to charge the next morning and installed it that afternoon. The installation is a BREEZE, the only difficulty was calming my nerves to climb up to the top of my flag pole on my ladder! Once completed, I had an unbelievably bright white light surrounding my flag that night!! It is BEAUTIFUL now!! The entire flag from top to bottom is illuminated, and it really stands out in my front yard! The light is very well constructed, high quality materials, solar panels are good sized, sealed extremely well. Light itself is made of a very high quality type of plastic, sealed tight. I HIGHLY recommend this solar flag pole light!!!

Good quality and as advertised. Easy installation. Good nocturnal illumination.

Works good. It is bright and lights up the flags well. The light will reach the ground from my 30’ flag pole. IT DOES NOT LAST 12+ hours as advertised though….yet. Maybe because I bought it now in winter and there just hasn’t been enough daylight to fully charge the batteries— not sure?!? I’ll update when the days get longer and more sun is out— of course the nights get shorter and it won’t be on as long either. 🤔

Very bright, solar powered dusk-til-dawn flag light works fantastic on my mom’s 30’ flagpole in her front yard. She is ready for Memorial Day weekend and the 250th 4th of July! She loves it and it was a very easy install. I bought her one years ago that was not as nice as this one. The white plastic on this one is much sturdier and it looks great! Instructions said to charge in sun before setup to charge the high quality lithium batteries and we turned it on in a dark room to verify it worked as expected and powered on and off with a flip of the light switch! This will last for years!

Really works well, the solar aspect is good and lights up the flag. Good brightness

Lights nice over flagpole.

The package is nice, and the product was safely shipped to my home. I measured the diameter and edge to edge it is just over 9.25". So it is not 7" as some say. The circular edge to edge is 9.25" diameter. The quality of the plastic? I think just okay. I work in the solar lighting industry and the plastic casing is nothing to write home about for sure. The underside has a sprayed metallic coating. It is pretty cheap if you ask me. When I checked the batteries one of the panels that covers the batteries was 100% metallic coated, as well as the inside of the battery compartment. The other two battery panels the coating was only on the outside and the insides were all black. Not a big deal, but shows you that this is just more China average plastic casing that is being slapped together for all of us in the USA. I am not that impressed with the quality of the product overall. It does do what it states to do - light up from the power of the sun. The solar panels are the type with the polymer coating which means they will in fact ghost, cake, turn white or yellow from the edges as they are outside exposed to UV over time. One would think that a solar product would take into consideration that it is going to be exposed to sunlight, huh? You can clean panels like this as they start to cloud. Rub them down with mists of water and the finest 1000 steel wool you can find, gently and slowly, and then allow them to dry. Coat them with an outdoor clear UV spray and they will actually be as good as new or better. But that will be 1-2 years from your start of use. I know this first-hand because I work in the solar industry myself full-time and experiment with various products on a weekly basis. As far as the lumens / brightness of the light - I have to say I was really shocked at how ineffective it is. I know it was not the batteries. I checked the batteries and changed them to another common brand to see if it was the battery choice. It was not. The lumens output was the same. I compared the Deneve light to a separate USB connected light bulb (5W/5V) and the USB light bulb was significantly brighter by a large degree. I held each at 2 feet from the ground in a dark room and took a light measurement. The light from the Deneve is broken up while the light bulb was even and brighter. They are two different applications but my measurement was on the brightness and quality of the light emitted. The Denve is not 250 lumens, and I would surmise it is more in the 150-200 range. I use a light meter. Does it work as stated? Yes, it does work well as far as off and onl. It does do fine charging during the daylight hours and emits light after the ambient light reaches a certain point of darkness. The top is the regulator, not on the underside. There is a switch on the underside (the led side) and you have to have it in the "on" position to charge the device. If it is in the "on" position it accepts a charge from the daylight and then will turn on automatically at dusk and emit light for as long as the batteries will last. In the winter it will not last the whole night in places like Michigan where it is 12-14 hours of time. Mostly this has to do with lack of sunlight in Michigan during the winter months, not so much on the batteries not having enough capacity rating to run the light 12-14 hours each night. In the May - August months I am certain the light will run all night easily and then some as you will have that many more productive sun hours to charge the batteries back to full reserve. In the end, if you have not experienced a good solar LED light, you will think this is a good one as compared to other experiences with solar lights from the bog box stores. Personally, I'm not convinced this is the best that can be done. But then again at $35.00 it is understandable and expectations at this level are reasonable by other commentators. I've have lights that can emit 1000 lumens and I've seen this one, which I cannot believe is much more than 200 lumens. They can design the same light with a larger panel, better solar cells on top, covered with glass or a more proven UV resistant polymer, use better LEDs (lm/W) that will emit much higher lumens, but it will naturally cost more. I give it 3 stars for the following reasons: a. It does what it states. No problem with the actual mechanics. b. The packaging is suitable, good for what it is. c. The price is about right for this product, but it is not overly impressive for what you actually get. d. This is not an impressive solar light in terms of lumen output, in my own experience with many solar LED products. e. The plastic housing used is just that - again for the price, what should one expect. f. Deneve does answer your questions and is responsive.

GREAT PRODUCT!

Brilliant thank you

Fast delivery to Australia, had no problem installing on a custom flag pole.

Had a small issue with the product and within the same day they have completely resolved the issue. Very happy with the service.

Light was easy to install on my 21ft ez-flagpole, looks good, but not as bright as expected, it does illuminate the flag and ground. Also find that it only remains on for 6 to 8 hours. Will see how it works when temperatures warm up.
