So, as I always recommend, do your own research before you purchase anything. Others complain about them breaking and shattering easy. The video claims the Disk Lights can last over 10 years. Some complained they stopped working within a week, while others lasted close to two months. Most complaints are that the lights don't last long. Heed the warning though: Several reviews complain about rust, stating the Disk Lights are not waterproof. So, where do the Disk Lights by Bell + Howell rank on our Bull or No Bull Meter? Since ours work so far, I'm going with. Just check to see if they're used or new before you buy. We bought ours in new condition for $29.99 on Amazon. That can help with safety! Don't expect the lights to shine like a spotlight though. They definitely brought attention to the step up onto the brick from the grass. After over 12 hours in direct sunlight, our Disk Lights were shining brightly by nightfall. I can follow up after this Arizona summer though! Also, we can't vouch for how long they'll last yet. The video explains that each Bell + Howell Disk Light contains ultra bright LEDs, that allegedly last over 10 years, "in a durable weatherproof, stainless steel housing." The announcer continues with another claim, "And they're low enough and tough enough that you can mow right over them." We did not test that claim, but I did accidentally and lightly drop one of the stone Disk Lights onto another. We placed all four on the brick patio in the early morning because the Disk Lights need to soak up direct sunlight for at least eight hours before nightfall. We looked over the manual, and as instructed, we turned ours on. When you flip them over, there's also switch to manually turn them on and off. They also come with stakes, but we're going to lay ours flat on our back brick patio to highlight the step up from the grass. Some Disk Lights come with hook-and-loop strips to mount them vertically, but we didn't order that version. We chose stone, and they came in a pack of four. The Disk Lights come in different looks and styles. They automatically turn on at night and turn off automatically during the day. Bell + Howell 10-pack 10-LED Solar Deluxe Swivel Disk Lights Powered by the sun, each light has 10 super bright LEDs to light up your garden, walkway, stairs, railings and more. Basically, these Disk Lights come with a battery that gets its juice from the sun and converts to solar power. Bell + Howell uses light conversion technology. The video goes on to explain that there are no wires to mess with when using Disk Lights. On a side note, I will say that my husband and I did our own yard lighting, and the wiring process was not super difficult or costly, but I'll share more on that another time. And wiring your own lights, don't try that at home!" The commercial starts as the announcer says, "You love the look of exterior lighting. Yes, they are what you're envisioning: a flat, circular disk that shines bright light. So, for this week's edition of Bull or No Bull, I'm testing out Disk Lights by Bell + Howell! It's no fun being the dark, especially if you want to sit outside with your family and enjoy the cooler temperatures at night.
