The one's I got at home depot two years ago stay lit for about 10
hours. They don't throw off that much light that the reflected surface
is readable (cant read a book, in fact you can barely see your feet),
but when you look at them they appear bright (for that matter you
cannot read a book from an anchor light either -- even up close)

At this point I'm wondering if the solar light actually works.

I have a couple on my dock and I'm not impressed. They are not very
bright, have a bluish glow, and rarely last more than about 4 hours
after sunset.
