Great lights, battery could have more capacity though. The problem I had installing them are the tiny, tiny screws at the side, which are very difficult to line up and the bracket should have a - or... See more

Deliberately ignored our request

We bought 2 lights from this company some years ago. They were excellent so we recently bought 2 more. The new ones do not have the 3 lighting modes advertised, as did the original ones, but only On and Off. SPV ignored several emails and messages, but eventually emailed telling us to return the lights for refund if they were faulty. We never told them the lights were faulty but we did ask for a refund of the difference between the cost of the lights we had paid for and those supplied. The company has deliberately ignored our request. We will not use them again.

AVOID - FIRE HAZARD!!!

4 lights ordered and received ok. Charged as recommended but one light failed to work and though I know I should have reported this issue to SPV I was remiss and failed to, my bad I know but I couldn’t be bothered with the hassle. However. More alarmingly one of the remaining 3 lights has, basically, exploded. The whole side of the light has been blown apart and with some force and obvious heat given the charred plastic. I’m in Scotland and on site having spent the last 2 years building our new home, typical of Scotland, timber frame - perhaps not typical, also timber clad. Thankfully I can only assume the exploding light occurred during one of ourfrequent wet days, had it been on a day like we have had of late (bright sunshine and warm) then I must admit to being extremely concerned that our new home could have been reduced to cinders - only just a few weeks ago a lithium battery was seen to be the cause of a devastating fire in Glasgow, so I really don’t view this as an insignificant event.
I contacted SPV who at first appeared concerned and I stated I did not have any confidence with the remaining 2 lights (part of a bad batch perhaps 🤔) and would like to return all I had for a full refund (£40). In reply, and email saying they would only reimburse the light that exploded. I told them to bash it and thanks for nothing - I felt it was actually far more important to make it clear to other potential customers that these lights are obviously cheap, totally uncertified rubbish that represent a real fire hazard and danger to property and life. Buy at your peril, but my advice, avoid like the plague.

Do not use this company

Do not use this company! Ordered dandelion solar lights 2 weeks later received dragonfly lights. Returned for exchange and 2 weeks later haven't received replacement. Evri have delivered to wrong place. SPV lights say because they are showing as delivered there is nothing they can do! The photo of proof of delivery is NOT my house.

Product us perfectly good. Customer service poor.

Product us perfectly good and as described.
Customer service was terrible.
Evri claimed to have delivered the lights but they were not at my property. To cut a long story short, Evri did nothing and all SPV offered was for me to report them as stolen. I thought it was the suppliers responsibility to ensure product had been delivered correctly, not mine?
It turned out they were delivered to a neighbour on Maundy Thursday and who then went away for Easter.

Cute cabin lights

Have used this company before so remembered their lights are of good quality so thought I’d get some string lights for my cabin - very happy so far but only been up a month…..will be interesting to see how long they last - I’ve gone through cheaper versions in only a couple of months so fingers crossed 🤞 They look very pretty and not too in your face with glare which is perfect in my woodlands.
