The plastic for the light housing becomes brittle after 2 years operation in the sun. All of mine have falling apart. I wrote to Home Depot, but did not get an answer. The problem is so bad that I'm going to post a blog at My site very soon at: http://botsmaker.blogspot.com/
The plastic for a solar product should at least be sunlight resistant!

I have the same problems with LED lighting with Hampton Bay.
After a year, 2 of my 12 units are dead. The batteries are fine. So, I soldered a new LED on the units and they both work great now.

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.

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!

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!!!

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!

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.
