Failing product quality?

My Chiron Solar Spotlight White / Warm White bought in March 2025 started to fail after about 3 months and has now failed completely. Previously quite happy with this product but will now avoid. I did query with customer services when the problem first occurred but response was not helpful.

A good company to do business with

I had a small query on an order sent late on Saturday so sent an email seeking clarification. I didn’t expect a reply until the next working day so was pleasantly surprised when I received a response on Sunday morning, from Nicole at Solar Centre, clarifying the position.
Family members had previously recommended Solar Centre for their service and products and I was not disappointed by either when my order was received.
A good company to do business with.

would have liked to give a 0 star review.

Here is the returns get out clause. I bought 4 post lights, and paid a good price for them this is what you get from a company that claims to be British. Lights are made in China. One of the lights had an intermittent fault. I tapped it with my finger and it lit up suggesting a poor connection fault. I asked to return it for a replacement. they wrote back asking for a short video. How can you send a video if I already fixed it but it could play up again. A good company would have asked to return it and they would inspect it and then send a replacement. But this company have invented there own get out clause. needless to say I would not use this company again. And would not recommend them. you pay premium prices for cheap Chinese knock off products.

A faulty spot light was delivered ...money refunded but I paid for the delivery of a faulty item as postage not refunded.. strange customer service. The company did not reply to my emails so altogether frustrating.
I have seen other reviews stating same thing.....faulty product and the very annoying habit of not replying to emails. Will not use or recommend again.

Post sales support - Product quality

We bought two outside lanterns in March of last year. We’ve enjoyed them immensely as they look great and throw off a lot of light.
Regrettably one of the lanterns bulbs stopped working. I contacted Solar and they were incredibly helpful and efficient in solving the problem.
Great product and great service - could not recommend them more highly.

Faulty Outdoor Solar Light Replaced

We had a fault with one of our lights. Solar Centre agreed to send a replacement after we provided a video/photo showing the fault.
No quibbles or queries just a straight replacement which we feel is great service.

Excellent support from customer servises.

The customer service is brilliant. Unfortunately one of the lights I purchased stopped working. I contacted the support team and had a quick response from Ella. I have been sent a replacement and look forward when it arrives to complete my set. The “Lavenham Solar Garden lights” make such a difference to my garden and would highly recommend them.

What a great company with good quality…

What a great company with good quality products. I have used this company many times to buy my solar lights and they have always been good. The Falmouth fraction lights are my favourite. They have lasted years and still look great! The glass bulbs make them look better quality too. I had a small issue with a smashed bulb and Ella came straight back to me offering to send some more out to me, very quickly and efficiently, thanks Ella! Was buying 2 Truro solar lights via B&Q, saw they were sold from Solar Centre, so bought them direct through Solar Centre even cheaper! Great company, great products. Recommend.

Bought a lot of lights from here and 60% don’t work or have been faulty. Recurring issue with festoon lights. The final straw was the most recent replacement they sent also didn’t work. Clearly customer service is at the bottom of the list and quality checks before sending items out. Absolute waste of my time. You’re lucky if you get a reply to an email. Not very friendly on the phone either. Wouldn’t recommend.

I bought two solar lights for my Dad for Christmas. One of them is amazing and working well - he loves it. The other sadly stopped working after a few months.

I emailed Ella at SolarCentre, and she was very responsive and is getting a replacement sent out to replace this. Amazing customer service - thanks Ella!

Would use again

The service is excellent. My query was answered by Ella very quickly and to my satisfaction. The goods arrived promptly and although I have not used the lights yet they seem to be of good quality and they were well packaged. I would certainly buy from them again.

I have been using this company for many years and I keep coming back to them to order lights both for myself and for family and friends. Their service is always of the highest quality and the products are excellent. Today’s experience was with Ella and I thank her for dealing with my query so swiftly.

I recently purchased 2 Sphere lights

I recently purchased 2 Sphere lights. Unfortunately 1 didn’t work after a few days. I spoke to Ella regarding the problem who was very helpful & said without hesitation she would send a replacement. They look great among my flower border &stay on well into the night. I have purchased many lights from this company & would not hesitate to recommend them. Thank you Ella.

Great products and fantastic service

We always buy our garden solar lights from them because theirs are the only ones that last a British winter. We just had one bulb go on a set of our festoon lights, after contacting them and providing a picture, the very helpful Ella provided a replacement with no hesitation.
We will continue to use them for all our garden lighting

I always buy my fairy lights from the Solar centre. They are definitely the best ones by far. Also their returns department is spot on, I received a tube cap that was badly moulded, sent an email was dealt without delay by Nicole. Please note not their fault as the boxes are shrink wrapped. Thank you Nicole for your kind help.
