Product Description

From the Manufacturer
The Pine Top 511-0007 four-light LED plastic solar fence post cap in a white weatherproof finish is easy to install. Its solar sensor turns the LED lights on at dusk and off at dawn. The solar panel converts sunlight to energy that is then stored in rechargeable batteries (included). When fully charged, it provides eight hours or more of light per night. It fits four-inch and five-inch vinyl posts and four-inch by four-inch wood posts. Great for use on a deck, driveway columns, or in the yard.

Customer Reviews

I read all the reviews on here before I purchased this, and they were very helpful in making the choice of this cap. I wanted to use it to light the single post at the end of our driveway, because driving home on a winter's night it is nearly impossible to see the entrance.
It did appear to be bright enough for my needs, but what they don't tell you in the description is that you are not supposed to use this during winter months. It says in the instructions to remove it during the winter, meaning I have no use for this at all. This probably does not affect those who are using it on a deck or fence, but I think it's a total waste to have something you can't leave out there year-round.
Other comments: The plastic housing is really cheap. The solar panel was cracked when it arrived, although it did not appear to be a result of shipping. It does not mount permanently to the post, could be easily knocked off (or stolen in my case). Once you pull that tag that reveals the batteries, you cannot turn the light off. Even if I had decided to keep it and install in the spring, I would have had to take out the batteries to turn it off until then. Screws are difficult to unscrew because of placement and the cheapness of the plastic they screw into. I imagine that if you took this apart more than a few times, you would not be able to tighten the screws at all.
I am disappointed! I really wanted this to work.
The only good thing is that it did arrive quickly, even though I did use Free shipping.

I put two of these solar post top lights at the beginning of a newly refurbished composite covered deck tied to my barn. It is barn red and white, the deck is grey and the railings are white. The lights work really well for seeing the step up in the dark and the glow they provide washes over more of the deck showing off the improvements. They last most of the night though on cloudy days they have a shorter life; but they do always make it through the evening. I saw one similar to this on the cap of a stair rail and really liked what it did. I compared what was available in the big box stores and these are better looking, better built and half the price. They also come with post adaptors for the different size posts used which, in my case, was real valuable. If I find another application I will get more of these.
