Just a consideration to keep in mind. I personally like these.
We must be the outlier, but ours leaked for years during a hard rain. Tried all kinds of sealers but after a while, it would go back to leaking. We have an aluminum roof, so that must be the problem. Maybe wood roofs expand and contract less than aluminum. Sorry, I guess I answered my own question. Anyway, if they are not leaking, then the solar light does brighten up an area.
