Original review: One of the great things about purchasing items on Amazon is the ability to find related items later. I cannot find anything on Amazon about the ring battery replacement. Now they are useless. Got a good two years out of them.

Original review: One of the great things about purchasing items on Amazon is the ability to find related items later. I cannot find anything on Amazon about the ring battery replacement. Now they are useless. Got a good two years out of them.
The solar-powered feature is a standout, harnessing the power of the sun to keep my pathway illuminated without the need for constant battery changes. The motion-sensor technology adds a layer of security, lighting up the path whenever motion is detected, providing both visibility and a deterrent to potential intruders.
The black finish of the pathlights is not only elegant but also discreet, seamlessly blending with the outdoor environment. The 4-pack starter kit offers comprehensive coverage, allowing me to illuminate key areas around my property.
The installation process was straightforward, and the connectivity to the Ring app provides convenient control over the lights and motion settings. Whether it's enhancing the safety of my walkway or adding a touch of sophistication to my outdoor landscape, the Ring Solar Pathlight has become an integral part of my home.
It's a 5-star product that delivers on efficiency, style, and advanced security features. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a reliable and visually appealing outdoor lighting solution!
I’ve changed my rating from 1 to 5. Why? Because, after my review a Ring representative reached out to me and offered to work with me to resolve the problem to my satisfaction. I want to say, Aaron was totally engaged, committed and willing to do whatever it would take.
He admitted they found there were issues with the Solar Pathlights regarding the batteries and offered to send me one Pathlight and Steplight to test. Because of his support, I was willing to put in several weeks testing these products with different scenarios, and even deliberately trying to make them fail. In the end I found they worked better that what I had prior and also learned how to better configure and use them. I reported back and my effort was clearly appreciated. As a result, I was sent all new Pathlights and Steplights. I am so impressed with Ring’s willingness to back their products. This is not seen often, especially when a company reaches out to you. Great job Ring! Thank you! I am a believer again because of your incredible support!
————————————————-
I love my Ring Alarm, Doorbell Pro, and Floodlight Cam, but have to say; the Solar Pathlights, Solar Steplights, and Mailbox Sensor are more misery than worth. It’s a constant battle keeping them online, charged (and they are in bright sun all day long) and batteries. I don’t think they have these products perfected. I have 8 Pathlights that most don’t work, 4 Steplights that most don’t work and a Mailbox Sensor that never works. Too bad, because I would have gotten more. BTW, they worked well for about 3 months then steadily got worse.
I called Ring support again currently at 45 minutes and getting the run around. As good as the most of the Ring products are good, that is not the case with the solar path lights, and quite disappointed with customer support. At $35 a light one would think they were getting a quality product instead you get a piece of junk. All I can say is stay away from these.
Customer support requested I send one light back so the engineer could look at it, just goes to show Ring does not want to honor their warranty. Luckily I am still in the return period with Amazon so back they go!
UPDATE: Finally was contacted by Ring support, and was pleased with the resolution. I was able to exchange them for the battery path lights, which are working out very well. Ring was nice enough to include batteries for the lights to offset the cost difference. While my opinion of the solar pathlights hasn’t changed, the customer support has resulted in a 4 star rating. Customer support stated that the issue with the solar lights may be a bad batch of batteries that were included with some of the lights which may have been my issue.
