This is the 3rd order I've made with these lights. The first was over 2 years ago and those lights are still going as strong as the new ones and durability is awesome. I have updated my original Linkind lights twice with the software updates easily and I love how easy these are to set up. My original intentions were to just use them for Halloween as I was replacing ones from another brand that were 2 years old but only had white light (and they were not as bright as the Linkind). But as these lights offer so many more options, and are smaller than my first ones but much brighter (even with setting the intensity of the lights at a % - not even using full power). I keep them on all night on the front of my house and I have to say, our house may not be the biggest or fanciest in the neighborhood but at night, my house looks prettier than all the dark houses. My house faces West and the garden where I keep them year round in front of my house does not get morning light so only afternoon and evening but that's more than enough to keep them charged up for all night long. I also have placed them aiming upwards into trees on my property and it's so nice to have outdoor lighting without having to pay professionals to wire it all in. But Halloween is where I really get them to use them to the maximum. Want a green light for your witches/zombies/aliens? Easy. Want a red light on your grave digger or vampires? Done. Need a hot pink light to spotlight the 135 lawn flamingos that are invading the grave yard? No? Just me? Well, this works for all of the above and more and the best part is - NO CORDS to have to worry about plugging in or tripping over. Need to adjust your lights to spotlight something else, pick it up and move it. So I keep adding more for Halloween as each year, my yard grows for Halloween. This video is from last Halloween, where aliens landed their UFO in the "graveyard" because trick or treating is not as good as on their planet. I like the app as well. Easy to use to do updates and make changes. I have numbered them on the bottom with a silver sharpie so if I need one to be a different color, it's easy to find in the app and I have renamed them all with #'s. I'm so impressed that I've got the permanent outdoor lights for the eaves of my house by the same company in the shopping cart. I'm thinking to get them before Christmas but I may try to get them up before Halloween!

Great lights that are easy to set up and operate. You can group them and create cool lighting effects, set them to operate when is dark and turn them off during the day. They have motion sensing too, but I don't use that feature. They seem like a quality product with quality materials. I do not know yet if that will translate to longevity since I've only had them for a month, so time will tell. I didn't stay up all night to see how long they lasted, but it seemed like they lasted all night (for as long as I could tell). The only downside is that the firmware updates upon first setting them up took a while because you can only update 1 at a time. And I guess not a downside, more of a want, is that I wish I could control them via wifi instead of only Bluetooth since you have to be in proximity for Bluetooth to work. Hopefully, they can release like a bridge/hub that communicates via Bluetooth to the lights and can be controlled via wifi. Pros: -light output. Even at low they are plenty bright -easy to set up and control via the app -battery last Cons: -firmware update takes long -wish it had wifi Dont know yet: -longevity For now, they get a 4 stars but if they last and hopefully they add wifi via a bridge then I will update my rating to 5 stars. Update They do have a WiFi bridge which makes this perfection! New Update One of the lights stopped working because it got flooded. I reached out to their support via email and got a quick response and they gave me a credit for the unit that was damaged. So im happy to see that their support is very responsive and they are able and willing to make it right.

I purchased several different lights before ultimately deciding on this one. The combination of brightness along with the ability to control the lights via my smartphone were what made these my final choice. I now have 36 of them throughout my 2.5 acre property and am more than impressed with this product. While you'll pay just a few dollars more for these, the ability for me to change them via a Bluetooth device was worth it. I spent hours of research and read over 100 reviews on various lights before making my selections, and I can tell you firsthand, that the power and ability of these lights goes under-advertised by the seller. The lights easily hold a charge throughout the entire night, deliver outstanding light, and this has even occurred during days where the sky was overcast and the sun wasn't shining at 100% for the solar panels to absorb. Additionally, the Bluetooth range is phenomenal. I have a 250' driveway, and I can easily control lights near the front of my driveway from inside my house. The app can be a little bit hit-or-miss when you first start using it, however, once you become familiar with it and learn how it works, it's really quite easy. Be aware that 'smart' does not mean WiFi, but rather, your phone/device's Bluetooth. When starting the app, you made need to wait a minute for all of your lights to appear as available. Again, once you understand this, the app is easy to use. Also, I found that controlling all lights at once with the app tended to be hit-or-miss, and I found it easier to simply control one light at a time. Overall, as I mentioned in my opening, I am pleased with my purchase. The curb appeal of my house has been dramatically improved and my trees really pop. The combination of quality and ability to have fun with the lights when decorating for the holidays, made this well worth the money.

Don’t waste your money! I initially bought 1 set of these and set them up in my back yard as landscape spot lights and set the lights to run from 8:00 pm until 11:45 pm nightly. I loved them so much I bought 2 more sets. I used 2 additional lights in my back yard and was saving the rest of the 2nd set and the 3rd set for holiday lighting in my front yard (we have an HOA and cannot have colored lights in the front yard except during certain holidays). I loved these lights but in the last week 3 of the lights have stopped working one at a time. I removed the non working lights, cleaned the solar panels and put them in full sun to charge. I’m in central Arizona, sun is NOT an issue. They should be fully charged but nothing happens. Tried the 5 second long hold and nothing. Won’t turn on, won’t reset, won’t do anything. The first set I purchased early April 2025 and the other 2 sets I purchased in May so of course I’m outside the return window. I’m livid these lights have stopped working only 2 and 3 months after purchase. These lights are way too expensive to go out so quickly. I DO NOT recommend!! DO NOT BUY!

I bought this set of six lights right before Thanksgiving, and after about eight months of use, they've held up well overall. One of the lights stopped working within the first month and became completely unresponsive. I reached out to customer support and was impressed with how quickly they replied. After some back-and-forth testing, they confirmed it was a defective unit. They originally offered to send a replacement, but eventually issued a full refund for that unit. Great service! The remaining five lights have been working perfectly. The solar charging is reliable, and the ability to control the lights via smartphone is incredibly convenient. We especially love changing the light colors to match our mood or seasonal decorations—that's definitely our favorite feature! Highly recommended for anyone looking for smart, colorful, and hassle-free outdoor lighting.

Absolutely blown away by these. I was an avid Govee outdoor lighting user until I found these bad boys! Some friends saw ours and purchased them and love them just as much!

In preparation for Halloween of 2023, I bought a 6-pack of "Linkind StarRay Solar Spot Lights". One was a lemon, as it never came on, no matter how long it (supposedly) charged in Florida sunlight. Annoying, but the other five were fine and did exactly what I wanted them to do - slowly cycle thru its programmed color palette at night for my driveway. The lights were almost idiot-proof, as all they had was the one button, and you could select a solid color or a color cycle with that single button. Fast-forward to my purchase of these lights, which are fairly potent upgrades. They even come with flashable firmware, which can be pushed to each individual light via the AiDot Android or iOS mobile app. When you receive these lights, odds are they'll ship with old firmware, which the AiDot app will recognize and ask if you want to push the newest code, which takes about a minute per light. The lights themselves are about as bright as the previous batch. They're definitely not floodlights and the marketing pics are, shall we say, generous in their illumination portrayal. You will need a more than a handful if you want to fully illuminate something like a long driveway for potential trick-or-treaters. These later-model lights now have a motion sensor, which is housed in a prominent bump in the center. This is nice if you don't want the lights to stay on continuously all night, so you can now jump-scare the bejeezus out of a passing squirrel or raccoon (or home invader if you live in a rough neighborhood). I did test the motion sensor capability and it works surprisingly well. The lights communicate with the AiDot app via Bluetooth, so you need to have Bluetooth services turned on before you can program them or push the aforementioned firmware updates. Note that the pairing process is done within the app, NOT in the Bluetooth settings on your phone. In fact, at least on my phone, the lights don't even appear on the list of Bluetooth devices in my phone's settings. This had me VERY confused for awhile and I feared the lights might've been defective, but just in case, I installed the AiDot app to see if it recognized them. And it did! They enumerate in the app as "Solar Landscape Spotlight_#", with said enumeration only taking a few seconds (provided there is enough of a charge). And I must admit that their Bluetooth range is actually pretty impressive. Oh, you might be thinking at this point that I'm burying the lead with my "irritating requirement" opinion, so here it is - IMNSHO, you should not have to rely on a mobile app to control these lights. It's annoying and overly complicates what should be a simple light package install. You can do some basic lighting without the app, but you canNOT do any color cycling without it. With the previous lights, you COULD do a light cycle with a few button presses, but not with these. So, why is relying on such an app a potential turnoff? For three main reasons: 1) AiDot REQUIRES you to provide an email address for the company to send you an activation code before the app can be used, so it's just another data harvester. 2) I have read scattershot complaints that the app is very invasive when it comes to permissions. TBF, I've looked on my phone and only permission I see allowed is nearby devices, so perhaps this has been fixed (using version 1.34.1). Still, it bears monitoring. And 3) At some point, this app will be deprecated, if not outright abandoned, which could render the lights useless. In fact, Linkind apparently had their own app which was "eaten" by AiDot, which isn't very inspiring in this day and age of corporate consolidations. As such, AiDot could, at any point, drop Linkind from its codebase to concentrate on more modern products and to minimize its install footprint. All that said, I will admit that the app is very intuitive and has a variety of color cycle modes that are easily accessible. I still think the whole process is too complicated for its own good, but if you're proficient at using these sort of phone apps, you'll probably find AiDot pleasant to use. Note that I do not have any longevity perspective on these lights, as I just received them. However, the previous batch of Linkind's are still going strong (minus the one dud), so hopefully these will be just as tough and reliable. So, the tl;dr is that they're nice lights requiring an Android or iOS app to fully utilize. If the phone app part of the equation is undesirable, then the previous "dumb" lights are still available as of this review.

We absolutely love these lights!! We have 4 outlets outside and only 2 work. We always wanted lights outside for the holidays and we never knew what to do since we had limited outlets. This year, I found these solar lights and I am SO happy that I did!! They give amazing light. I am able to light areas that I wouldn’t be able to if I had to use cords. I love that I can change the colors for holidays. We plan on leaving them out all year even if there isn’t a holiday. I love that I can set a timer as well and I don’t have to go outside to plug and unplug anything. We bought (2) 6 packs. We also have 2 kids that are 2 and 7. The 7 year old is so happy that we can finally light up the front yard!! Customer service for the company that makes the lights………..One of the lights would not hold a charge. It would turn on at night and then a few minutes later, the app showed the battery was dead. I kept moving it for several days thinking maybe it wasn’t getting enough light where it was. I finally reached out to customer service and they were amazing!! They replaced the light for me at no charge. Overall, these lights are definitely worth it!! We are even talking about buying more.

Works well, bright, easy to set up and place. Fairly discreet. My purpose was strictly to light up very dark areas of my yard. If esthetic/decor important, this is not for you.

Nice and bright, excellent my second time buying them

Easy to install, was installed under eaves of building, 3 levels of brightness, excellent quality.

Very bright and easy to use. Makes a big difference.

I just wanted to light up some dark steps. These lights are pefect. I put them up at 10am. Turned them on as soon as it got dark, and they were working pefect. I'm using the lowest setting.
