**UPDATE**I was contacted by customer service to inquire about the lanterns and what went wrong. I explained that these lanterns could not withstand the brutal temperatures of our region because plastic melts so easily.They refunded the entire purchase price of all three boxes of lamps, even though the return window had long passed. As a result, I am updating my star rating from 2 to 5.The lamps themselves rate a 2. They cannot withstand the summer heat but may work well in cooler climates. After all, they still did light even after melting.Customer service earns a 5 star rating. They stand behind their product even if it fails. They issued a full refund and cared about their customers. That means a great deal to me.********I purchased three sets of these solar lamps when my family planted new trees in the backyard this May. We live in Arizona, so we tend to have very hot summers with long stretches of daylight. I thought these lamps would look nice in the yard at night. On the plus side, they hold a charge well, the battery is functional, and the light is bright. The color is beautiful and they flicker like real flames in the evening. However, these are far from stable or a good value. By the time June rolled around and the weather hit stretches of 110+, the lamps began to bend and melt. As you can see, these solar lamps aren't built to last in the sun.The irony...It's a shame. They were pretty. Even though they still light up, they look absolutely ridiculous bent and sagging all over all over the yard. It's September now and we are pulling these all up tonight. Since none of the lamps lasted more than four months, I recommend purchasing something that can withstand long heat waves if you live in the Southwest.
