I bought several Echo Valley products because I liked the look of them and thought they would be fun additions to my garden. I understood that they were not solar powered lights and that they just had luminarie paint on glass, but I thought the glow-in-the-dark look would be different from the solar powered lights I already have. I put them in one of my gardens that gets full sun for at least eight hours a day. And yet, even with full sun on the most glorious of days, at night there is nothing. You have to get right up on top of them to even notice that there is something there trying to glow. I will not be buying anymore Echo Valley products and I am sorry for the ones I did purchase. For the price, they are certainly a rip-off. Do not waste your money!
