Over the past years I’ve received thousands of questions via VraagAlex about AliExpress orders, returns and product advice. Because of that, I can clearly see which products truly offer value — and which ones you should avoid. These outdoor solar lights with 3 modes and a motion sensor definitely belong in the “great purchase” category: smart design, low price, bright light output and, above all, a lot of everyday convenience.
In this article I’ll walk you through why this product is so popular, what you can realistically expect in terms of quality, and how to avoid overpaying by accidentally buying it from an overpriced dropshipper.
Throughout the text you’ll find several links to the official AliExpress product page — for example this one: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c4Mfc39R — so you always know you’re buying the right model at the lowest price, with VAT included and no extra customs or administration fees on top. These days AliExpress calculates these costs upfront, while in the past many customers were surprised by additional charges afterwards. Fortunately, those days are gone.
If you don’t feel like reading the full review and just want the deal, you can order directly here: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c4Mfc39R.
Why these solar lights are so popular
These LED lights use powerful 108 COB or 117 COB light modules and are available in sets of 1, 2, 4 or even 6 pieces. The best-selling variants are 108COB-2PCS and 117COB-4PCS — ideal for lighting a garden path, fence, garage or backyard.
Main benefits:
– 100% solar powered, so no wiring needed
– Three light modes: always on / dim until motion is detected / only when motion is detected
– Water-resistant design (IP65/IP66 range)
– Highly sensitive motion sensor with a wide detection area
– 1200 mAh lithium battery that lasts through the night
– Semi flush mount design, easy to install yourself
For just €6.49 including VAT — via https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c4Mfc39R — you get a truly safe and durable outdoor light.
Real user experiences
Looking at more than 20 reviews, it’s clear that most buyers are especially impressed by the brightness of the light. One customer wrote:
“Brilliant bright coverage, very sensitive, highly recommend.” — R***n
Another buyer mentioned that the box arrived crushed, but the lamp itself worked perfectly. That’s a fairly common theme: the shipping box sometimes takes a hit, but the lamp housing is robust enough to handle it.
Many users also say these lights are much better and brighter than what they find in local garden stores — and significantly cheaper as well.
Beware of overpriced dropshippers
Unfortunately this product is also sold through “unknown” websites where the price can be four to six times higher than the real one. Don’t fall for that: the source is simply AliExpress.
So always make sure you order via the correct link: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c4Mfc39R
On AliExpress, returns are usually free. With dropshippers, that’s almost never the case.

Bonus tip: become an Amway ABO and save money
Did you know that through Amway you can buy high-quality products and, if you want, become an ABO (Amway Business Owner)? This allows you to save on your own purchases and potentially earn extra income when others order through you.
For example, take a look at this Anti-Hair-Fall Shampoo:

We’re happy to help — but we’re not official AliExpress support
The VraagAlex website originally started because people were asking huge numbers of questions about AliExpress.
That’s why we state this as clearly as possible:
“We are not the official customer service of AliExpress, but we are happy to help you with any questions about this product or your order.”

FAQ
1. How long does the battery last?
On average between 8 and 12 hours, depending on the selected light mode and how much sunlight the panel receives during the day.
2. Can I link multiple lights together?
Each light operates independently, but many users install several in a row to create even lighting along a path or around the yard.
3. How water-resistant are they?
The lights are specifically designed for outdoor use and can easily handle rain, wind and low temperatures.
4. What if my lamp arrives damaged?
AliExpress usually resolves such issues quickly. Returns are often free, especially if you ordered via https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c4Mfc39R.
5. Are they bright enough for a dark driveway or parking area?
Yes, COB technology delivers very intense light. Most buyers mention this as one of the main advantages.
