Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The post for my gas lamp rusted out and I wanted to "go Green" and save some money on my gas bill with a solar powered model. I looked at other models online and was about to get the GamaSonic GS-94F for about $129. I noticed this model on Amazon for $119. I was able to pick one up that looks identical to this one at Menards for about $69! I got an 80" aluminum post ($29... on clearance for $2 at Lowes) and after some grunt work to remove the old cement embedded post, had the new post installed in fresh cement and plumb. The next morning I installed the lamp. (Be sure to turn it on!) It provides about as much light as my two mantel gas lantern, so I am very happy so far. Has 3 AA rechargeable batteries included (has space for 6?) Not sure about the bracket on the Amazon model, there was no such bracket in my box. The small set screws used to secure to the post barely had enough space to tighten so I drilled out and tapped 3 holes in the post and it is now very secure. One of the heads of the two screws holding the lid on was loose from the shaft. (Hence 4 and not 5 stars.) Not sure why Home Depot and Lowes do not carry solar post lamps. (They all have solar landscape lights.) Menards had three models to choose from in the "Enchanted Garden" brand. I would urge you to consider going solar! My neighbor will likely get one. He has his gas turned of to save $$, There should be a tax credit for this device!
