More than I ever expected and worth every penny!
Before I placed the order it took me about two weeks to decide if this solar address plaque would be all that the description and pictures claimed that it would be. I had questions like would the LED's be as bright as shown; would the adhesive keep the numbers from curling up or peeling off; how difficult would it be to position the numbers properly.Well to begin with the LED's are every bit as bright as the pictures show. The rechargeable battery is more than sufficient to keep the LED's burning brightly. The battery is located behind the solar panel and is user replaceable once the battery's service life ends.The numbers are semi-rigid and easy to handle. The corners don't curl up the way that paper-thin vinyl numbers do. There's no guesswork as to how to place the numbers on the plastic lens to get a clean professional look. It's almost automatic. The numbers come with three templates used to center and position either three, four or five digit house numbers and for maintaining the proper vertical spacing between them.Bottom line, don't wait like I did if you're thinking about making the purchase. I'm sure that anyone that is looking to purchase this solar house numbering kit will be as pleased as I was with the finished product.UPDATE:After submitting my review I read about some of the experiences of other reviewers. It caught my eye when I noticed that a majority of negative reviews came from users living in parts of the country that broil under the heat of the sun. They stated that numbers would curl up and peel off of the lens within a short period of time after exposing the sign to the elementsHere in South Florida we get more than our share of year-round sweltering heat and blistering sunshine. My address sign faces due south and gets full direct sunlight all day long. So far I haven’t experienced a similar problem. Before setting the numbers on the lens there were two extra steps that I took that weren’t mentioned in the instructions that may have contributed to keeping the numbers adhered to the lens.First, make sure that any residue on the lens is removed before applying the numbers. If the lens has any kind of residue on it the numbers will never adhere to the surface of the lens. Even a seemingly clean lens can have unseen residue on it so wet a paper towel with water and squeeze out all of the excess liquid. Gently clean the lens then pat it dry with a lint-free cloth.After applying the numbers to the lens use the curved underside of a teaspoon and using gentle pressure rub the spoon several times over each number paying special attention to the edges. Finally, set the unit aside and allow at least 24 to 48 hours for the adhesive to cure. This will allow the adhesive on the numbers to create a stronger bond with the lens. Now you should be ready to set the address sign outside on the post.I hope that solve what seems to be a major problem with the numbers adhering to the lens.UPDATE A YEAR LATER: Well, it's been over a year since I installed my address plaque and it continues to function as well as the day that I installed it. The numbers are still in place (no peeling or curled edges) and the rechargeable battery is still going strong.A FINAL WORD: Everything continued to perform as usual until my lawn service backed their mower into the pole cracking the spike that supports the pole. Normally this wouldn't be an issue since plenty of replacement spikes are available at Amazon. Unfortunately, the inside diameter of the pole on this unit is a hair’s width over an inch and the widest stake that I’ve been able to find is just shy of ⅞” wide. It’s a shame that a suitable spike isn’t available since the address sign continues to function perfectly. So, after two years of perfect service, I'll be reluctantly looking for another sign having a pole that will fit most spikes if it needs to be replaced.

Nice address marker!
I like the ease of putting together, directions are clear-easy to understand. The light is bright, the clarity is great. The numbers are big enough to be seen easily. It’s solar and battery operated, makes your address very visible for deliveries and the mailman. You can’t beat it, well worth the money.

Good Product, but glue on numbers is not good in super hot areas
I like this unit as it was easy to assemble and easy to install outside. The only issue I have with it is the numbers don't stick well when the unit is facing the sun and you live in a areas with termps over 100. I live in North Dallas. The first day, the numbers were sticking, but by day 2, they started to come up. I thought it might have been, I put the numbers on then stuck the unit outside too quickly after I applied them, so I did the numbers again and waited 24 hours. However, within a day or so, the numbers started to peel up again. I finally decided to put clear shipping tape over the numbers and that has worked. Other than the number's adhesion, the unit is working perfectly and looks great at night. So easy to see from the street. I would recommend this, but be aware of the sun and temps.

This should meet most people's needs
Easy to install. Basically, attach the numbers using the helpful template and shove it into the ground. Done! It appears to be holding a charge, although I haven't gone out to see if it is still on at 5 in the morning. It is still lit around midnight. The white light setting was too harsh for us, so it was nice to have a "warmer" setting (which is still plenty visible). We're very happy with this light. The only thing I might have considered instead of this item would have been to buy a display that could be seen from two directions (facing the street direction rather than perpendicular to the street). All in all, I'm very pleased with this purchase.

Super bright!
This adds such a homey look to the front of your house while also aiding in visibility of your house number. It’s super bright and I love that you can pick the type of light you want. The instructions on how to stick the letters on was super easy and so was the process of putting it in the ground. 10/10!!

Love it!
Very easy to install. Discreet yet bright. It comes with a stake to put into the ground but we taped it on the electric pole. Now there is no danger of it getting hit or buried in the snow banks.Definitely recommend.

Perfect address light.
This lighted address post is ideal for dark areas. It was easy to assemble, with plenty of numbers for all possible address combinations. A template is included so that your numbers go on straightI especially liked customer service that helped me through a difficult shipping problem. Even though it was not the seller’s fault, they managed to « light a fire » under the shipper.

This looks amazing at the front of my house
People used to complain we had no numbers on our house. Now they can see it from the main road! These look amazing in our yard and everyone that visits comments on how visible they are. GREAT BUY!
