I bought 5 of these and they arrived yesterday. I did a quick test when they arrived and then began setting them up today. While I was on a ladder rigging one of them, I gently moved the cord while it was plugged in and *POP*, a spark, and the breaker tripped. I promptly unplugged the cord, reset the breaker, and then took a look at the lights. Luckily I was using a fiberglass ladder or else this could have been an unhappy ending.

Whoever built these didn't correctly strain relief the cords. In fact, all 5 lights have the wires exposed right around the strain relief. This means they ARE NOT waterproof and the slightest stress on the cord (moving it even), could cause you to be exposed to 110V AC!

I don't know if the reviews are seeded by the manufacturer but I can't believe that no one else has noticed this issue.

When you look at the pictures here you can CLEARLY see a "remote eye" coming out of fixture with the power cord.... Well, it does NOT ! No remote eye at all, and I have to point remote within 12" of the fixture directly in front of it for it to change colors ! This really sucks seeing that a remote control IS supposed to do just that, control things from a remote location... I would be very angry and return it fast if it had cost a few bucks more.... anyway, you have been warned.

I ordered several of these 3 different times over the last month. The first time, I ordered just one to see how it would work for my application (up-lighting outdoor plants). It worked just as described so I ordered 3 more. Those were the same in every respect, except they didn't work when warm (couldn't control it with the remote). Once unplugged and allowed to cool down, normal function would be restored. All 3 from this lot behaved the same way.

I returned those 3 with no issues and received a prompt refund. I then ordered 4 replacements (to have one as a spare). They arrived promptly and are working fine with none of the control issues, even when left on for several hours. But they are different in several respects from the original one I ordered, as well as the 3 I returned). The differences are: the sensor for the remote is behind the lens, instead of coming out near the power cord as shown in the picture, the remote is different (and won't work with the other style), and the fade function, where the light cycles through all the colors, is different (no as smooth transitions). I took the lens and reflector off and the circuit boards are completely different.

TIP If you are having issues with your remote (short range), check to make sure the sensor under the lens is pointing in the right direction. (one of mine was installed backwards). There is a small round bump, which is the window of the sensor, on the side that should be pointing out. If your remote has very short range, check this (and of course the battery in the remote). Take the 4 screws off the cover holding the lens, remove the glass lens and reorient the sensor so the bump is visible to the remote side. Replace the gasket and lens and you should be good to go.

As for the light itself, it is nice and compact and gives a very broad flood, I'd say on the order of a 160 degree beam. Because of the extra wide beam, the throw isn't very far, but it is perfect for my application. There are about 4 brightness levels. The mounting bracket is nice, but can also be removed. The case is aluminum, but the bracket is painted (powder coated?) steel. The hardware may actually be stainless. The power cords varied in length. The ones with the sensor behind the lens came with cords about 4 feet long, while the others were about 2 feet long, which I prefer. They have a standard 120 volt plug on the end. The remote works up to 8 feet away from the light. If you want them all to run through their pre-programmed sequence, they won't be in sync after a few minutes. I'm going to see if I can hack them and have one master and 3 slaves so they stay in sync.

One great feature If unplugged while they are on, they will come back on in the same mode when power is restored.

I would give the units I ended up with 5 stars, but knocked a star off the overall rating because of the need to return a batch.

Bought 4 of these to test out. Figured if I didn't like them, I'd find a use for them somewhere. I was ecstatic!. They all came with power cords (flimsy but simple)and were unbelievably bright. The remotes worked fine but needed to be close up so I opened the lid and drilled a small hole in the side of the housing to move the eye outside of the case. Now I get about 25 to 30 feet. Decided to buy 16 more..yep...16. I want to use them as wall wash uplighting for weddings in venues with ceilings under 15 ft. The set of 16 arrived in about 10 days. All housings came without plugs and the remotes didn't match my first purchase. After plugging them in with an old ac wire attached, they only gave 3 colors and were somewhat dim. The led required 12v but upon inspection with a multimeter I found the transformer was only outputting 6v. This makes them totally useless to me and am hoping for a quick turnaround on my return. If I swapped the 6v transformer with an old 12v adapter from the junk box they worked flawlessly. returning anyway. I have decided to try again with a different seller. I have sent the seller a quality control request. fingers crossed. The better brand so far seems to be Magic Lighting. Hope this is the brand I get. 20 of these in a room would be a very dynamic effect.

The product is excellent. I have been using it in my yard as accent lighting and love it, it is very bright and couldn't be simpler to use. I am in fact just ordered more. I should however point out that if you want to use this product next to other LED lighting which have the cool white, when on the white setting, the color will be a much warmer white that the cool white LED, this is almost always the case with RGB LEDs but should be noted for customers who may not be very familiar with LEDs.

In any case I love the product.
