So far so good, but you need to do one step before you put these underwater. When you first get these, if you don’t want them to leak, you have to do something the manufacture should have done. I have bought these in the past before, and they always leaked, but I didn’t get them from Amazon. I bought them from Menards, and I think they were the same brand. Think of when you have an oil filter on your car and you’re going to change it you have to put oil on the gasket before you tighten it to the block otherwise the gasket will bind creating little wrinkles that causes a small leak. When you first get them unscrew or unlock the caps from the lens there will be an O-ring that you need to remove get yourself some high grade silicone grease. I happen to use Permatex die-electric grease this is a premium grade Automotive silicone grease, you can also go to your local hardware store, and go to the plumbing section, and find plumbing grease for O-rings, put a small amount on your fingers, and work it all the way around the O-ring, covering it with silicone grease, you don’t have to use a ton, you just use a small amount and make sure that it’s covered. You don’t wanna make a mess, and try not to get it on the lens, especially on the backside of the lens when it’s sealed up, it will be cloudy the whole time, so be careful. Place the O-ring back into the slot, carefully place lens color of your choice, and make sure it’s seated. Now put the cap back on, and turn until it locks, once you do that this will help prevent it from ever leaking. Because now the lens was able to slide on the greased O-ring as the lens is being tightened down on top of it, and it does move the lens as you screw it down. This will prevent the O-ring from binding, that’s why you put silicone grease on it. It has worked for me so far, and this set of lights has not leaked yet this whole summer. I have no water in them, this is crucial, don’t forget this step. For some reason the manufacture doesn’t think it needs to do this, but they always leak because the O-ring got bound from the factory. Many complaints and people have returned these lights because they didn’t know to do this. I don’t think there’s anything in the Instructions about doing this either. I hope this review helps! Good Luck 👍🏻

Pros: easy to set up, the light is bright pointing straight up it illuminates the trees 30' tall, sensor works great. Cons: The lead from electric source and first fixture is long then only 4' between each fixture. you can take away 4' from main lead and add a foot to between each fixture.

Love these lights for our water fountain, just the right amount of light. This does make the 2nd time purchasing theses lights because they last about 3 years before lights stop working. But I will continue to buy these because it is a good value.
