This solar light looks great! The construction is very solid, heavy and really stands out--not at all cheap. The lighting is considerably warm and illumiates fairly well. In the pouring rain it still works great, however a few humid colder nights after the rain it did not light up or would light up, but after three to four hours go dark. It does continue to work. Note: I also bought solar lights from other manufacturers and those lights did the same thing under such conditions. Overall, the light could be 20% brighter and come with a matching post for the price. Am not sure of its output in the winter as I have just began using it for only about a month with temps around 40F to 70F degrees.
