Even though it says outdoor use, I had issues with mine getting wet underneath and they stopped working. Needless to say if we r expecting bad weather I bring them in.I love these lights. They work well and are very bright. I’ve purchased additional lights because I love them so much.I received the candles and was really excited to display them on my porch. I turned them on and noticed 1 out of the 3 candles was a different color, which was a bummer.I love seeing my candles on every evening. I still can't figure out where the solar panels are!I have finally switched from real candles in my porch glass globes and these are working out beautifully!I wanted this for an outdoor coffee table. The location is under a slatted gazebo, and doesn’t get full sun, so I was unsure if a solar-powered candle would even work- but it does! Stays lit for at least four or five hours, which is really as much as we usually need.One real advance is the solar collector panel: if it has one, it is entirely internal and invisible from the outside of the candle. (Most solar lights have a black or silvery panel to collect the sun.) We placed it so that the on/off switch side gets the most sun, since we think from the rather brief instructions that that is where the collector is.Could be brighter and then it would be great
