Not bad for the price. It looks pretty realistic, especially if you mount it up high where it is not too easy to tell it's a fake. Buying 2 rechargeable batteries is about another 50% more to spend to get it to work as intended, but still it's pretty cheap for the effect. We have installed 30 of these on commercial buildings and they have lasted several months now.
First thing I did is use a sealant to cover all the seams on the top because otherwise I think water would get into the battery compartment (there are no gaskets or seals on them out of the box although the solar cell is glued in place which seems to function as a good seal).
Also, on several of the units the battery compartments are slightly too small to fit the batteries and you really have to wedge them in there. Luckily you can tell from the light if the batteries are in correctly and making good contact, because on several of them when I put the batteries in they do not make good contact with the compartment ends and I have to manipulate them around to get the correct position.
Out of 30 I have only one so far that the solar cell doesn't seem to power the led at all-very simple wiring but so haven't investigated further to figure out why it wasn't working.
Overall pretty good for the price and seems to be a good deterrent. The blinking light is nice and bright at night and very noticeable (a good thing).
