mine flickers and strobes and dims at random!

Date:November 19, 2011

"Installed for half a year in my shed, really only needing it in winter so I haven't used it much. I go to use it to check out the snowblower, and I get a disco show inside the shed. Varying on-off cycles from 10 seconds apart to stroboscopic disco effects and sudden 50% dimming to full brightness in no predictable patterns to the point of nausea and dizziness. It's only -10C out, if this is cold weather performance, not happy. Hoping a replacement is possible after this time, willing to try one more before ripping it apart and putting my own electronics inside that won't flicker."

Comes with LEDs, not a fluorescent

Date:January 4, 2011

"This light came with 5 LEDs inside, not a fluorescent bulb as the description says. This was an unexpected bonus, as LEDS have better cold weather performance and we are using it in an unheated shed in the Edmonton area. It has been working fine in our extremely low December daylight and -20 temperatures. We only go into the shed for a few minutes every few days, and it's great for that purpose, providing enough light to see what's what on a dark morning."

works well

Date:May 1, 2010

"I use this as a night light in our trailer. Plug it in during the day, i stick it (it has a magnet on the light) to the side of the stove at night and when i wake up in the morning (the stove is right next to the bed- it's a tiny trailer) it is usually still on. Great for having to get up in the middle of the night with kids b/c it is nice dim lighting."

Awesome at the cottage!

Date:April 6, 2009

"We have a cottage in Muskoka and have two of these and are thinking about getting more because they work so well.
We have one on the outhouse door, one in the little bunkhouse and they both work well and people love them.
The best things about this are: 1) rechargeable batteries are replaceabe. 2) The solar panel and the light are not hardwired together. So that makes it easy to use this as a flashlight or an area light. It also makes it easier to install. 3) The panel moves to just about any position.
We are planning on getting more to have a couple charging at all times so that we can use them as area lights around the campfire or horseshoe pit.
They also work well when camping/backpacking as they are light and easy to pack away and be able to use as a tent light."

Good Value

Date:October 4, 2008

"We purchased 2 of these for the shed we just built. Lights up a 10x10 shed just fine. Easy to mount panels and installation of the lights were a snap. Really happy we purchased them. Makes finding things a breeze without having to track down a flashlight!"

Good shed light.

Date:May 27, 2008

"I bought this light for a 20'x12' garden shed that doesn't have power to it, and after a year of trouble-free use I can safely say I'm happy with the purchase. I mounted the solar panel on a south facing wall and placed the light just inside the shed door. It's not the brightest light but when it gets dark out and I have to retrieve something from the shed, it lights up the interior well enough that I can dig around in the shed without tripping on things and falling on my face. This is a good light for any small utility building with no power to it, and I would recommend it for that purpose."

Very Functional

Date:May 22, 2008

"I installed 2 of these lights in our gazebo at the cottage. They provided enought light for all of my late night card playing pleasures! They were probably used between 4-5 times per week at night for the entire last summer and fall.
The installation was pretty easy.
The lights even work this year. I am impressed."

Works for me

Date:April 15, 2008

"This light has been a good purchase. Installation was easy, though the light bracket became loose almost immediately and therefore it doesn't stay in the "aimed" position very long. Luckily it doesn't seem to have affected the charge. It works when I need it, and I didn't have to run power to the shed. I didn't have any of the sorts of problems that the previous reviewer did, though I probably only turn mine on once a week at most."

how bright does the light really get?

rusty162

- MAPLE RIDGE, B.C.

Answer:

It's brighter than most common nightlights but not as strong as a typical bed side lamp. Enough to see by in a 10' shed, and fill a gas tank, but nowhere enough to work on the motor, for example.

Answer:

The light gets just bright enough that I can see enough to feed fishing line through a hook when I'm ice fishing. I put one up in my ice hut and absolutely love it. In fact I'm going to buy 2 more for my tent trailer as I don't have power to the existing lights anymore. Great for small areas like that or a small shed.

Is it actually Fluorescent or LED?

Question:

Just picked one up, noticed the specifications mentioned fluorescent but the one I got is LED technology under the same item number. Maybe a design change somewhere down the line? Just thinking that the LED might not give out as much light.
