Home Depot review: outside solar lamps model #[protected] 60

I bought thousands of dollars of fans for the house. The Gazebo Plus is an outside fan and the glass covering the bulbs is so flimsy it breaks in your hands or is already broken in the box. I have had 2 replaced so far after arguing with Home Depot. Also. my really expensive bedroom fan remote only now goes to med and low. My other BR fans remote did not work at all and they hassled me so I had to buy another... 40+ dollars. Buyer Beware!

I have tried now since the end of March 2007 to get a starter solenoid for a ceiling fan, and both times I have called, the women that I have spoke to have been extremely rude. To this date I still dont have the starter solenoid that I need. If I don't get it this time I will take the fan down and go purchase a Hunter. I promise I will never by another Hampton Bay product.

I PURCHASED TWO SETS OF OUTDOOR SOLAR LIGHTS FROM HOME DEPOT AND THE CHEAP PLASTIC MOUNTING STAKES HAVE ALL BROKEN. HOME DEPOT SAYS THEY DO NOT CARRY REPLACEMENT PARTS. THE LIGHTS ARE USELESS LAYING ON THE GROUND WITH NO MOUNTING STAKES. I NEED 12 NEW MOUNTING STAKES. PLEASE SEND TO ME ASAP.

THANKS JIM

After assembling remote control fan the transmitter is way too big for the canopy it is to sit in. I have put together over 150 fans and am very mechanically inclined. The model is called midili 44"

I purchased 2 sets of 8 solar lights for my home and have found that even after fully charging my batteries four of the lights do not work... Is there anything that I can do to get them replaced withut returning one of the sets to the store that I purchased them from?

This set of 6 solar lights. All work fine except for one. Very dim, barely lights. Hard to see at night. Purchased at Home Depot, Lebanon, PA July 1. They sold me defective product and i don't think that i will shop at Hampton Bay again!

I purchased a 6 pk of Hampton Solar Reviere lights and three have never worked. I contacted GP Warranty provided a copy of my receipt and warranty information and was told replacements would be sent but they were on backorder. This was on May 15, 2012. I have emailed three tiomes since and am constantly told they are on back order. I go into the Home Depot store where I purchased them and the lights are on the shelf every eeek. I asked for a contact person at GP warranty to complian and Cathy @gpwarranty will not provide me with that information.

I want my replacement lights (3) sent to me. Dan Stewart

Out of a 10 pack of solar lights... missing 2 shafts and 2 anchors.

I bought 4 Hampton bay post cap solar lights. None work now, became dysfunctional after 2 weeks. It seems it's the on off switches. Garbage. Hampton bay should be ashamed.

Missing the bulb for the light kit for the hampton bay palm beach ceiling fan.

Light won't stay on after repeated hits. Swinging arm wall sconce gay_wright@att.net

Paint is bubbling and pealign after 1 season of use.

Plastic stakes bend when you try to put them in the ground.

I bought the Hampton Bay 4 pack solar lights online. They work for about 1 hour every other night. I tried setting them on 10 hour but still the same thing. I bought some about 4 years ago and they still work. Don't like the new ones!

I bought a set of Hampton Bay Solar lights from Home Depot, model 79778 and they only work intermittantly, sometimes not at all.
Oddly enough, If I cover the sensor and the solar panel inside in a pitch dark room, they work great. Outside, in the backyard, they only seem to work once in a while.
I have tested the batteries and they all test good, so the recharger circuit is working..there is something defective in the sensor, I suspect.
Can't find the receipt and threw out the box. Ironically, the cheap light I bought for $3.97 works great..not Hampton Bay.

I bought 2 packages (4 lights per box) of Hampton Bay model 237-002 lights. 7 of the 8 initially worked, but after several weeks, ony TWO light up on a regular basis. Several are just dead, and some occasionally and randomly light up. 3 that were dormant lit up last night, but after a full day of sun today, no light at all.

Thses are the WORST solar lights I've ever bought, and there are close to 80 (or more) in our exterior gardens.

I will never by anything with the Hampton Bay name again.

I find Home Depot:
(a) doesn't care about product quality, only profits which rise from quantity of products sold,
(b) Hampton Bay makes very poor quality as I've learned with a fan, an overhead light fixture and my solar lights.
When I have gone back to Home Depot, I always make it a point of walk down the Hampton Bay area and place "stick 'em" notes on their products saying, "lousy quality".

Best of luck

I purchased 6 Hampton Bay low voltage LED lights at approx $35 a piece and have them running on an 4 or 6 hour light up after dark. Along with that was the connector box etc. Cost over $600. Everything was working fine except that the next spring, I noticed that 2 failed. I replaced the two with new purchases not realizing there was a 2 year warranty... quess what... in 3 months... two more failed. I am fed up. I checked with the warranty and of course I threw away the receipt for the first 6. My take: a) these products are inferior, b) these are not really LEDs as they don't fail in 8-12 months. My recommendation is 1) don't purchase another Hampton Bay product. 2) Question Home Depot for their carrying of an inferior line. We have plenty of choice out there, and from seeing the comments above, I question why Home Depot is continuing to carry this line.

I lso buy the solar lights. And the problem I had was that the replacement solar batteries are too expensive. The cost more alone that buying a new set of lamps. Now I have the lamps but not funtioning becouse of the batteries.

I bought the solar post light from Home depot and it rusted and did not work. I agree with the post, The Home depot is selling defective product and when I wanted replacement, they refused and said you should talk to manufacturer. I am very disappointed and I will never buy anything from Home Depot.!

I bought many packages of the 888-425. The globes definitely go bad too quickly (disintegrate). But, compared to other solar lights, I like the warm glow of these lights. Ordering replacements from the company is not cost effective (too expensive) because a new set of 4 with ALL of the parts is less expensive with new stake, Solar, globe, etc. But, now Home Depot does not carry this model (2011-06). I have probably 40 all around my property, so I am now trying to find a replacement globe from another type of product. I have tried a plastic cup and have a first version, but will need to keep looking. Any ideas or other solutions that other people have found? As for the replacement stakes, I have found a GREAT solution. I take about 18" of 3/4" PVC and drive it into the ground leaving about 7" above the ground. The black riser of the light fits right over the top of it. The light spins just a little when it gets hit by the weed eater, but no damage and better than the original product, easier to remove and replace, etc. Drew

This complaint was from 5 years ago, so I'm assuming they have improved customer service since then. I found their website http://www.hamptonproducts.com/menu.php?pg=contact&sel=contact which has phone number [protected]. My photo electric sensor had gone bad for a spot light which was already here when I bought the house. They are sending me a new sensor, < 10 min phone call, no questions about warranty or anything. Easy! Now I just have to figure out how to get the old one off the solar panel, they put TONS of glue on it, lol.

Puchased 4 solar L E D post cap lites at Home Depot. They work for maybe 5 minutes or less and then go out. Changed batteries and the same thing again. Batteries are charged so something in the circuits must be bad. You would think that with the amount of Hampton Bay lighting that Home Depot carries that Home Depot would have some pull with the customer service that you recieve (or don't receive) from this company.

You can call [protected]. one of my 5 lights was DOA. i called and was pleasantly surprised by the efficiency of the service and time on the phone. they will send me a replacement no questions asked.

i took three of these lights back to home depot because they don't work . as soon as i walk away from it, the light goes out...and the fourth one is not working either

Purchased 4 solar led post cap lights at home depot. Very bright lights, for maybe one hour. Switched to 10 hour mode, works 15 minutes longer. Very, very disappointed

I too went ahead and purchased these 6 pack sets of Hampton Bay solar lights model#79339/79330 and 79749/79789 and thought they were good lights based on prior experiences with the same models that I purchased 4-5 years ago. I decided to get some more and move the older ones to my back yard which had work well for all this time but these new sets that looked exactly the same didn't even last 2 years. The tops started falling off where the wires and LED are contained, the black coloring began to develop a white spotty discoloration and at least 10 out of the 24 lamps don't work anymore. I'm very disappointed in these solar lamps and don't know why the first batch I purchased held up way longer and these newer sets didn't. My guess is Hampton Bay cheaped out when they manufactured these newer ones because I noticed that the reason the tops all started falling off were because from what I can see, they were only held on buy some silicone glue. When I contacted their support line they denied that its only held on with this glue but I have these units with the proof. They won't do anything for me because I cannot locate my receipt from my purchase. I'm going to contact Home Depot where I purchased them to see if there's anything they can do but my guess is they'll probably give me the same answer...no receipt...no replacement. My advise...DON'T BUY THESE SOLAR LAMPS.

Purchased 8 post top Hampton Bay solar lights from Home Depot, from the get go only two worked. Can't believe that Home Depot is selling this garbage, spent about $130, what a waste of money.

Ours is doing the exact same thing. I've e-mailed and called Home Depot over and over again and gotten no response. Oh I hear back alright, but then there's no response to my follow up and they keep calling back to say they haven't heard from me. Convenient.

Hampton Bay Solar lights. On sale at home depot for 4.49...and now I know why.
They look and feel classy, copper colored outdoor lighting for my walkway. Batteries work fine and all of the 12 I bought work except for one. It only flicks when I turn the on/off switch. Batteries work on another unit. So, I have a bad unit...and I cannot get a replacement. Now, given the number of complaints, I can expect to get what I paid for this summer. Thanks Hampton Bay, made in China.

Have a number of Hampton Bay solar lights. Most have worked well. I had some battery issues and they sent me replacements. My biggest issue is with the plastic globes. They get brittle being out in the sun and practially desintigrate after just a couple of years. King of Fans wants $4.00 a piece for replacements. I bought 12 last year and now see I will need at least that many this year!

Try finding replacement LED bulbs. Fat chance. Less than one year and then ones I have are in the trash. Don't waste your money until they can support replacement parts. DO NOT BUY!

Six years ago, I bought Hamilton solar lights and the batteries eventually quit, plus the contacts corrode. i replaced the batteries over time and they work. This week one light quit altogether. They sell a 2 pack for $23 which is way overprice. Home Depot has very poor customer service, so i rarely shop there anymore.

I also need 6 mounting stakes for the Hampton Bay outdoor lighting. All of mine are broken. If anyone could tell me where I could get them from.

Thanks

Yes, I to have bought 4 sets of the Hampton Bay Solar lights over the past 2 years and at least 2-3 of them dont work after about a month or so. I wrote to the company and never got a response back from them. I have tried replacing the batteries and they still dont work, very dissapointing. With the economy the way it is now a days Hampton Bay should be ashamed of their products and try to please us buyers!

I purchased Hampton Bay lights as well and none of them project any light at all! I am very disappointed and will never purchase another item from them again

I brought 14 Hampton Bay outside solar lights .6 of them were defective. I think Home Depot should start correcting these problems with their prducts. Instead of acting like these problems don't exist. Since Home Depot owns Hampton Bay. Sherausmc@hotmail.com

I agree. I have two that have broken in the last 6 months I've had them. It should be under warranty. But I can't even figure out where to buy the replacement.

Please help.
Thanks,
Adrian

We bought a set of 6 solar patio lights, Hampton Bay from Home Depot about 6 months ago and half of them haven't been working for about 3 months now. We have replaced the batteries but it doesn't make a difference. We paid $60.00 for the set and are very disappointed in the make. Now we can't even return them to Home Depot. Won't buy Hampton Bay again!

We bought a set of 6 patio solar lights for $60.00 from Home Depot. A few months later, no more than 6months and half of them won't work. We have tried putting new batteries in but they still don't work. Very disappointed in them, now we can't even return them to Home Depot.
