“Bought these lights for our apartment balcony based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews. Received the order in record time, which goes to show how good Hoselink's service is. The product is of very high quality. I've just received a second set of garden spotlights which are also incredibly well made. Could not be happier & would happily recommend!”
“I have had these for 6 months & although they are beautiful & always get compliments, i have had 9 bulbs that have blown/stop working in 6 months. For the price I would expect to get longer use. They get 8 hours of sunlight. Unsure if I would purchase again, I would probably just get cheaper ones from Bunnings in the future.”
Hi Ellie, thank you for your review. You might be surprised but the bulbs haven't actually blown, the problem will be the connection. If you tighten the bulbs you will find that they turn back on with no issue. We can assure you these have been manufactured to last many years without any problems. Kind regards, The Hoselink Team
“Fabulous set of lights and absolutely beautiful quality. They last all night (I often see them switch off a bit after dawn when I’m up with my toddler). We accidentally smashed two globes during installation - the set comes with two spare globes, and I emailed Hoselink about replacing the spares and they replaced them completely free of charge.”
“These are a high quality set of lights - the solar unit it phenomenal! The bulbs are quite small and relatively closely spaced. The warm light is very nice and lights up outdoor areas very effectively - I have the extension kit attached (total 50 bulbs) and there is no dimming in light towards the end of the chain. My only issue, and this is my own fault for not reading the specifications closely enough - is that the bulbs are GLASS. I stupidly assumed that all outdoor products would be plastics to ensure they’re adequately robust - sadly, already have one shattered bulb - and my lights have been up for one night. I can only assume a breeze has tapped it against a post. (They were set up under a veranda with minimal fall between hooks - as I didn’t want them swinging in a breeze in the first place!) The starter pack only comes with two spare bulbs - and I can’t see where to purchase more separately. I no longer feel these are suitable for outdoor use, and don’t want to leave my $130 odd investment to break any further! This is the only disappointing part for what is otherwise a high quality product. But it’s rather crucial - so would recommend considering this and the location you plan for them. Would only purchase again if Hoselink changed to more robust bulbs. I’m pretty disappointed.”
“I have some solar lights already from Hoselink and was super impressed by the quality and service. I already have cheaper string lights from Bunnings that are great...as long as you get enough light. I wanted some warm white globe style lights for my balcony for more light and this delivered! I charged the panel up first using mains power and I can't believe how bright these are! They are so bright I was able to read a book outside at night. I was planning on leaving them on but I decided to turn them off when I was done as the light spill was probably too much for an allnighter in an apartment setting (conscious of neighbours). Length was great, in fact it was too long so I just unscrewed some of the globes to 'shorten' the length. If you want quality and brightness I highly recommend these. The solar panel is big and solid.”
