I bought two of these a year ago for dusk-to-dawn lighting on my farm. Both were installed by a professional licensed electrician. One worked for 3 weeks before the bulb burned out, and the other for 6 months, going bad in cold winter weather. Compared to the old mercury fixtures I used at my previous farm that worked reliably for years on end, these are bitter disappointments. Read the fine print. They won't start at temperatures below 30 degrees, and they are made in China despite the name Lights of America. Today I bought two replacement bulbs ($10 each), and neither works at all! I don't know if it's faulty bulbs or the fixtures themselves or the photocells, but I advise spending more money and buying a better quality product with a longer lifespan--and made in America if you can find one!

The savings in electricity won't compensate for the short life, high bulb replacement costs, aggravation of going up and down the ladder often, and overall poor quality of this product.

Three years ago we purchased a light just like this one and the cencer went out so we had to find another. We looked around and couldn't find one like we wanted. One day I was searching in Amazon and happened to find this one just like we had. Ordered it and when we got it my husband put it right up. We live in a mobile court and all we heard from our neighbors was when are you going to put your light back up we miss it so , so all is happy now.

Honest reviews on Lights of America 9147 42-Watt 2,500 Lumens 10,000 Hour Bulb

Until these folks come up with a longer life bulb, any energy savings will be lost on the cost of replacement of a very short lived bulb and expensive bulb replacement. NOwhere in the literature is the anticipated life of the bulb stated, listed, specified , or advertised. Why? because thats where the savings end. At between $10-13 replacement per year, over 50% of the total fixture cost, the green idea translates to reducing the green in your wallet. Other fluorescent tube types such as T12 and T8 are built for lengthy service with similar ,now digital ballasts. Not so , with this LOA product. Its designed to put the green in their pockets...not yours. So, once again its Caveat Emptor. A great idea soured by the greed for profit. For me, its back to the dependable and long lived sodium halide 75Watt by Regent or others. Those savings by not having to frequently climb the dusk to dawn ladder for frequent replacement outweigh any potential upfront savings. Energy like this comes with a price you must pay for in terms of high replacement costs.
