Product Warning



Just a heads up warning to be cautious of buying these solar garden lights. They are FLC (The Fine Lighting Company) Air. I bought these on a run-out special from Bunnings and over a quarter didn't work out of the box.

Normally I'd just take them back but as these were the last left in stock I set out to try and discover the source of the problem. Broken wires or snapped solder joints was the problem with most as pictured above. Lucky for me I have a technical background. I'm down to 2 non-working ones now out of the original 16 which I'll return as it appears they might have bigger issues.
