At first, I was impressed with the quality of construction of these units. I purched 2 sets/total 4 units. I mounted them on various parts of the property.
At first, they did a great job, and was very pleased with my purchase.
About 45 days into it, when they snapped on, the beams were dim. Like REALLY dim, like a nightlight you'd put in the bathroom.
I started checking the other 3, to see if the one for my driveway was a dud. Nope. ALL of them were in varying degrees of dullness.
60 days into it----they just stopped working. If I had to hazard a guess, 98% went into the construction %26 design; and the remaining 2% of manufacturing cost was for cheap, bottom of the barrel ni-cad batteries.
When I factor in the cost, the value of my time to mount the four units- I would say this was a very bad purchase. I live in the SW US, so it's not like I don't get much sun in the summer.
Lesson learned. From now on, I'm sticking with Hyper Tough and Bell %26 Howell units.
They're more costly, but they last for years. Also, on those units, the lumens are much higher (meaning they illuminate more real estate). Much stronger beams.
That's it. Thank you very much.
Cheers.
