Lithonia LED Outdoor Security Floodlight with Dusk to Dawn Light Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Two out of three floodlights that I purchased work as intended. However, they do not seem to have a light sensor, so they turn on both during the day and at night. The intensity output is decent, but the "pure white" color can be annoying if used for an extended period of time.

Instead of the built-in LED, an alternative "green" option is to get a regular, much cheaper floodlight, and install PAR30 LED bulbs. Same energy consumption, more features (see above), and if anything goes wrong with the bulb, it is easy to replace.

Before I bought these 4, I already had installed one of these lights at my home so I already knew the quality of the light is outstanding. You cant go wrong with this LED. The one at my house has been up for about 6 months and provides great light. Great seller..would buy from again."

UPDATE 5/29/12. Of the 4 I bought, two are dead. One never worked and the other one stopped working within 2 weeks. Motion light would work but LED's were barely visible, like they were burnt out. Sent back to seller, he received package on 5/21/12 and I have not received an email or refund??

Bought a LED setup at Costco for $60 then went back for another after trying it out. Gives lots of light output for LED's, but like alot of things at Costco, once you need another, they're never there. Searched for months until I gave in and paid the $100 for this light. Then no sooner did it show up that Costco is now re-stocking the same Lithonia LED for $60 again. I'm a retired electrician, so take it from me, you want LED technology, forget the Par 40 floodlights or fragile halogen lamp types, go LED whenever possible to save both electricity and energy re-lamping later on.

I'm extremely pleased with this LED tube light. I particularly appreciate the ability to adjust the direction in the bulb, which is a huge help. We are using this light both in closets, a workrooms and our garage. We can angle the light to point slightly off center so it is directing light onto our clothes, onto my husband's workbench, and everywhere we need the light, not just straight down. The color of the light is also very nice. The bulbs are quiet unlike some others I had tried from another company first and had to return. These tube lights are performing very nicely and seem to be higher quality. I guess you get what you pay for!

Darn! I was really hoping that this bulb would replace the 75w GE Reveal Par30 bulbs in our kitchen which are getting harder and harder to find. Much to my surprise even though this bulb is rated as a Par30 it is just a few millimeters wider than the GEs and frustratingly just a millimeter or so too wide to fit in the glass cylinders of the hanging lights above our kitchen island.

As far as the light output it appears to be similar, but perhaps not quite as "white" nor as bright as the Reveal bulbs. The specs in the text on Amazon claims these lights put out 860 Lumens and claims the Reveals put out 980 Lumens. This seems to be about right based on my putting both bulbs in a light fixture that I could point at a white wall. I will also point out the beam spread is wider in the Cree LED than the Reveal halogen and therefore the Cree light appears more diffuse.

In conclusion I believe these lights would be an excellent replacement for a 65W flood lamp, but not quite up to replacing a true 75w halogen Par30 reflector. And of course if a Par30 Reveal bulb just barely fits the cylinder of your light can then be aware these are a wider and may not fit at all.

Great brightness and color. My wife noticed the lighting immediately, commenting on how much she liked the color and brightness before she found out I replaced the incandescent. I now have 4 of these. The only downside... the price. The cost savings are years away and may never be recouped, at least not while we are still living in the home. This is definitely an environmental versus financial decision.

Have been using halogen fixtures to light up the area in my back yard where the dogs go at night. Wife continually left the light switch on over night and I was always concerned that the bulb would burn out during the cold and snow seasons, and I would be climbing to the peak to replace yet another halogen bulb. Had the small two fixture halogen and the large single fixture/bulb halogen, and both ended their lives with a corroded socket death, and another climb up the ladder. Then I found these LED fixtures and having some RAB wall washers that work perfectly, I thought to try this Lithonia model. Worried that the two fixture 3 LED in each fixtures might not light up the area like the 500 watt halogens. My mistake! They are so bright at 20 watts LED, that my neighbors are going to complain about the light coming in their bedroom windows. This little set of lights are in the sunlight range of Kelvin (Very bright white light) and easily light up a 50x100 foot area. Best thing is that the photocell allowed me to hard wire and bypass the switch the Mrs. doesn't use anyway, the 50,000 hours projected life (no more climbing the ladder any time soon), and about $.03 a night to run the thing!

Solid construction.

No frills a simple photocell will activate the light at dusk and turn it off at dawn. No timer. No motion sensor.

As other reviews indicate, the light is bold. I have a townhouse with a tiny back yard and it looks like the surface of the sun out there at night. Just like I want it.

After going through much less expensive fixtures I'll be glad I spent the big bucks on this if it lasts for years without maintenance.

Note: If you will be installing on exterior wall with lapped siding, you do need to buy a separate mounting plate like this one: Arlington 8131-1 Vertical Siding Lamp Mounting Kit with Built-in Box for 1/4 Inch and 5/16 Inch Vertical Siding LAP

Installed two of these, one above garage and one on a small barn. The fixture seems to be of high quality. The light they offer is gorgeous white and bright. The downside is their intensity at their source. The light is phenomenal but may be best in areas where people don't have to face them.

The halogens and compact fluorescents they replaced presented no special issues when facing them. Surprisingly, these are like miniature suns (and I was skeptical about LEDs being bright enough). My barn is next to a road. Not only is the area near the barn very nicely lit but the source of light at the fixture is bright to the point of distracting drivers going by. Similarly, visitors approaching my front door are accosted by the garage lights.

The light cones are 3-axis adjustable for aiming anywhere. I turned them all down toward the ground and back toward the structures they're on. Now, their faces are mostly hidden so eyes won't be bothered but the primary illumination coverage is also reduced.

I replaced the old school halogen rectangle outdoor security lights. Bulbs seem to burn out every 8 months and with (2) of these, I was always replacing these at around $8 a bulb. Plus when they are full on, its 300 watts or half dim for 8 hours at 150 watts. I did like the half dim feature on my old lights, but with the price of electricity going up, have to start switching out. I put these up today and came home to a great looking lite driveway. I have a 3-car driveway with 2 car garage. The light mounted about the 10ft+ mark and completely lights my driveway. I actually had to turn them down a little (facing) because it was too bright. I wish they had more logic in it to maybe have these dim or switch to one light, but then come on to full when motion. (clearly motion sensor is on these) I also notice the prices changes constantly. One day they were around $120, I bought at $135, and today they are $155.. nice job amazon for screwing with the prices. (knock it off). Overall though, excited to be using 20watts instead of 300w.

I seem to be having an issue with the dusk/dawn sensor. Its 4pm and its quite sunny out and the light is on. It seems to turn on not as dusk and does not turn off right at dawn. It can be 8am and the light is still on. My garage faces north, so there will be some shade in the late afternoon, but even my other light would turn off at the correct time. (old halogen).

I've got an outdoor light sconce for which I have been auditioning low power consumption bulbs for some time. Pretty much everything I put in there goes out sooner than I would like. This LED bulb has been in place for several weeks, and while it hasn't failed yet, it's very low luminosity. I'm going to keep it in there, but if were 2x or 3x the lumens I would be happier.

Reviews of Paris Night Light - Paris Eiffel Tower Lighted - France

Customer Ratings:

This nightlight is soooo pretty! I ordered this for my boyfriend's 14 year old daughter -for Christmas I was redecorating her bathroom. I chose a Paris theme because she really wants to go there, etc. When the nightlight arrived, I tested it and almost kept it for myself.....but in the spirit of the holidays I did not. Maybe I'll get one for myself though. It really is very pretty and I'm sure the other images they have are just as nice.

I feel bad: I was so excited to get my nightlight because the screen is just gorgeous. I plugged it in, turned it on, put up a 5-star review and was happy. The next morning, however, the On/Off switch didn't work right. But instead of taking the seller up on his offer to exchange or refund it, I refused him and put up negative reviews (there are so many different screens and I honestly thought the light was unsafe).

Thankfully, the seller contacted me again: would I please let him make it right? I wanted to be reasonable so I exchanged my incandescent bulb night light and also bought one with an LED bulb to compare. I'm surprise there's not much difference in them...in fact, I can't tell them apart without looking at the bulb: the owner had the LED ones specially made to fit into a regular-shaped bulb. (See the LED bulb for sale at the top of this page.) The incandescent light comes with an extra bulb. But I prefer the LED because it puts out no heat.

I heartily recommend this light. There are so many beautiful screens to choose from and if you don't find one you like, the seller will work with you to find what you want or will even transfer your picture onto a screen. The image is easy to change out because the black frame is easily pried off and the plastic image behind the glass screen can be exchanged.

I heartily recommend this light without reservation...I'm buying a bunch more for gifts.

Feit Electric PAR20/HP/LED 3-LED 8-Watt 120V PAR20 Flood Reflector Reviews

List Price: $89.99
Sale Price: $30.18
Today's Bonus: 66% Off

I've bought and returned almost every brand/model of LED replacement bulb on the market, and this is the first one I'm not returning.

The box says it puts out 340 lumens. The Ushio PAR20's I'm replacing are rated at 600 lumens. This bulb is just as bright, not *almost* as bright, but just as bright with a similar spread. I suspect that the rating on my Ushio's is not correct. Color is around 3100K, so it's a bit whiter than the 2900K of the Ushio bulbs. Much crisper, but with none of the greenish or bluish tinge that I see with CFL's.

I would have given this bulb 5 stars, but I think there's some room for improvement, namely:

Field replaceable optics to change the beam spread for different applications or ceiling heights

A color sensor and colored LEDs like the Cree LR6 to ensure consistent color temps, and the addition of some sort of switch that the user can use to change the color temperature manually. Some people like 2700K, some like 3500K, and different people like everything in between. I myself like whiter light for darker rooms or rooms with reds and oranges, and warmer light for rooms that are neutral or lighter colored.

Dimming! I'm not ripping out a bunch of expensive dimmers just to use these everywhere.

Price. They are spendy. I know it will come down eventually, but I would need to spend over $2k to do all of my lights with these.

I also bought the PAR-38 version of this. It's rated at 710 lumens, and it's brighter than a Ushio PAR30 rated at 1100 lumens. It has a larger beam spread, and it's still brighter on all parts of the floor covered by the light from it. Again, I'm pretty sure the rating on the Ushio's is wrong.

If you're looking for a really really bright LED bulb for a non-dimming can or pendant, then these are perfect. I thought that 3100K was fine for my pendants, but I found that I actually prefer 2900K or so for general purpose lighting. Here's hoping that Feit will address the 4 items I listed above.

The brightness of this light is impressive. I also like the color temperature it seems like a balanced white a little cooler color than the incandescent bulb it's replacing, but it's nowhere near the blue-ish look that you can get from some "bright white" rated bulbs. two reasons why it's not rated 5-stars first is that the box says that "this device shall not be used in totally recessed / sealed fixtures." Which is not made clear in the product description online. It's also much heavier and longer than any par 20 bulb that I've seen (I've had to buy many, as I frequently replace the bulbs in these fixtures).

Bright and dispersed, but 3100k it is not. Much cooler white. Dulls warm neutral hues. The body is larger than a halogen PAR20 and thus a very snug fit in my track fixtures. Hopefully, the technology improves before I buy again.

I've been trying to trim some fat off of my electric bill and came across these low wattage, high output family of bulbs. I guess only time will tell as to the 22.8 year lifespan claim. But even if they only last half that long, I'll be happy as long as they live up to their 'cost savings' claim. I've tried the GE and Phillips bulbs and these are BY FAR brighter and more reminiscent to the incandescent bulbs we are all so used to.

I purchased 4 for the flood light above my garage door after comparing all the reviews on all the LED PAR20 choices n Amazon. They fit in the recessed PAR20 hole perfectly. They are really bright -as bright as the 50W one it replaces, if not even brighter. 50W PAR20 has initial 530 Lumen and this LED one is labeled as 350 Lumen. But they just look the same brightness. Color temperature is also quite close!

Very happy.

Also happy with the saving. Though 4 of them costed me about $100. It cuts total watt from 200 (4x50) to 32 (4x8). But the electricity saving will pay back the purchase in 1 year: save 168watt per hour, 12 hours on average per night, 365 days a year ==> it's about 735KW per year. At $0.10 per KW, the saving is $73 per year!

Also this confirmed that Feit is a really good branch. Costco also carry a lot of Feit bulbs (all kinds: traditional ones, CFL, LED). I will buy more Feit products.

Best Princeton Tec Sport Flare Underwater Light Deals

Customer Ratings:

I spent alot of time researching this one people. Backpacker magazine, EMS, Princeton Tec website etc. While you may find a tent lantern that is brighter, the real bonus here is light versus battery use and weight. Most lanterns appropriate to use in a tent use bigger or more battery power. I wanted something that I could hang at the center of my tent and just leave it and not worry about killing the batteries during several days of extensive use. I have another flashlight and lantern for roaming around the campsite at night. This light produces a diffuse light pattern to brighten an area instead of a directed beam. When hanging from the center of the tent from the provided lanyard, it directs the diffuse light downward instead of outward as is the case with most lanterns. I only buy Princeton Tec flashlights. They are completely submersibe and work underwater. Can you say that about your other flashlights and lanterns? If I am camping or am in an emergency situation I want foolproof. One neat feature that kids will love...when you put out the light, the plastic cover glows in the dark for quite awhile. Attach a whistle to the lanyard provided, and I think this would be a great inexpensive gift for a kid that could save their life especially since it can be used as an emergency signalling device.

I've used this guy for over a decade, it is a mainstay in my pack. The cone works great. There's a hole in the tip, which creates a bright point of light in the center of the diffused light. This is perfect for focused work inside of a tent.

I use this flashlight for walking the dogs, and for when I travel. It's portable, lightweight and virtually indestructable and isn't bothered by rain or rivers or dropping. The cone is fantastic because it creates a large lighted yellow shape that's much more easily seen by cars than an ordinary flashlight. (Hint: tie a plastic grocery sack around the flashlight and you'll have a big white glowing ball that cars can't miss!) The cone is great in tents and for late night reading because the light is so diffuse you don't get the weird shadows and glare you get from a regular flashlight or lantern. You can always take the cone off if you want a regular flashlight.

Honest reviews on Princeton Tec Sport Flare Underwater Light

We have had one of these for many years, and we are ordering more for ourselves and our kids. Ours is still working the way it did 15 years ago. The cone and the hanging strap make this ideal for a tent light. We love this and are glad to see they are still selling them. We like the way you just twist the cone to turn it on and off. Our kids love it too. We are going to order a pink cone top to interchange with our yellow one.

I like this light. It has shortcomings and isn't "perfect". It will be great for camping! The light itself isn't too bad. It is less than $20 and uses AAA batteries, along with the "special" large mah rated batteries. This is the main reason I purchased it, because my full-size MagLite is heavy and large for backpack camping and hunting.

Brightness:

============

I purchased this after seeing a friend's similar 1000lm light. I figured 1800 > 1000 right...? The major issue I have with this light is how that light fails to be transmitted through the lens. There is no mirrored parabolic dish, so moving the lens away from the LED focuses the light beam in such a way that it "clarifies" the light... The "zoom" feature (a movable lens) isn't the same as a zoom on say a Maglite flashlight. What this means is that at the 1x "zoom" you can actually see an image of the square LED on the wall... clear enough to see the circuitry! Add to this that you have virtually no "cone" of light around the bright center. This is a bit distracting because the spaces in-between the LED circuits are displayed against the wall, making a projected shadow effect as if someone were covering the light with a mesh screen. This projected shadow works against the whole idea of projecting an intense beam of light! It appears to block the light, making it very distracting and difficult to quickly distinguish what you are viewing. The light should have been built to prevent a "1x zoom" because at about mid-range the image is blurred, making a more consistent field of light. Ideally it should have been "3x 2000x" zoom.

Another effect of the lack of parabolic mirrored finish on this light is that the LED, being a grid of squares, projects a SQUARE light. This looks strange in a round light field, but it only a distraction. Minor nitpick.

When you zoom "out" (up to x2000 according to the legend) you get a wide field of dispersed light with no highly focused center... the edges of the field are as bright as the center. This is VERY useful for camping/outdoors use! However the light intensity appears to be dispersed... leaving you with less than 1800lm brightness. Compared to my friend's 1000lm light with a mirrored parabolic reflector, and this light appears dim. HOWEVER, my friend's light is a fixed pattern that has no "zoom" feature. The mirrored dish on his 1000lm AND on my MagLites provide both a large field of light that has a focused center. The trade-off of this zoom feature (less intensity vs. fixed zoom) should be considered. Having both styles of lights, this zoom feature will be a nice addition to my camping gear.

The "reflector" around the LED is extremely shallow and not polished. The mold marks from the machining process are clearly visible, like tracks on a record. This means that for every raised machining groove facing the light, there is a groove in-between that is not reflecting the light outward. Futhermore, mine has what appear to be glue smudges that further exasperate the issue.

Waterproofing:

===============

The "waterproof" feature on mine is questionable... when unscrewing the lens to wipe it clean, there is plainly a recess for an O-ring that is not present. You can see small dimples in the metal cap that push into the side of the lens (or recesses in the lens) It appears the only thing preventing water from touching the LED's is the pressure of the screw cap, and the pressure from the "dimples" around the lens. There does not appear to be any gasket or waterproofing compound around the lens, so I think that "dimple " pressure around the lens is the only thing holding it in place. I question what would happen if this were dropped and the lens was slightly jarred... I think this will be OK in a damp camping environment, but if water gets past the lens "dimples" or the threads, then the LED's will be immersed in water and the light will probably fail. Some rubber cement should fix this problem. I plan to get an O-ring from a local hardware store to address this issue. The rear of the unit has a rubberized button cover that should hold up to damp water, but doesn't appear to be water-tight if left immersed. The battery compartment O-ring is present. The front of the light moves to provide the "zoom"... there appears to be an O-ring in-between the pieces of the light to prevent water entry.

Batteries:

==========

Batteries this is one of the few "super bright" lights that can use standard sized batteries. My initial testing was done with AAA rechargables. Thinking my dim light issues could be due to the batteries, I purchased an Ultrafire 18650 (3000mah) battery, charged it, and... same behavior. The light does NOT appear brighter with the 18650. However I have yet to determine how long the batteries last on full charge... that is a future test :) The size of the light allows for the larger 26650 battery. I plan to try that as well. These batteries all appear to have control circuitry to regulate output to prevent LED damage, leading me to believe they will provide longer battery life and will not affect the brilliance...

Pressure Switches:

==================

Pressure switches this is a multi-mode light. Meaning every time you toggle it on, you are moving it to the next mode: High-Medium-Low-Flashing-SOS. There is no way to "fix" it to a certain mode, making this useless for any weapon or equipment-mounting solution. Even if you were to use it for a remote mount solution, there is no remote switch. The "Remote Pressure Switch for UltraFire C8 CREE Q5 / R5 / T6 LED Torch Flashlight" DOES NOT WORK! The threads don't match. The only information on the light is "UltraFire XML-T6". So far there are no remote switches for this light.

What else is there to say? There are no-name copies of this avaiable on auction sites that come with the battery and charger for the same amount of money, but all the reviews of the off-brand batteries they come with indicate you are getting what you pay for... I prefer to pay only a few extra dollars to have the name-brand stuff that has proven to perform better. This thing is pretty inexpensive to start with! The overall size and weight of the light is nice. It is larger than 1" diameter, closer to 1 3/8". The included lanyard is nice. The knurled grip surface is deep and provides a very positive grip.

I like this light. I will to keep this in my backpack with some spare batteries for camping and hunting use where my huge D-cell MagLite used to be. To restate:

Not a bad light by itself

Doesn't compare in brightniess to some of the other "super bright" lights

Small, portable, economical.

Multi-mode

No remote switch option

Can use AAA batteries in a pinch! >>>> HUGE win for my needs!!!!!!

To UltraFire:

If I were to change one thing, I would put a parabolic mirror on it and limit the range of the zoom feature!

If I were to change two things, I would also make a single-mode version with remote switching option for weapon/equipment mounting use.

The maximum brightness of an XML-T6 emitter is 1000 lumens rated by Cree and the nominal brightness is 800 Lumens so unless this is a magic light it is not possible to get 1800 Lumens out of an emitter that's max output is 1000! I've been selling flashlights for over 10 years and build my own and can say with confidence that this light puts out a max of 5 or 600 lumens max if you're lucky and have high amperage batteries. The zoom feature magnifies the light to make it seem brighter by condensing it but if you put it next to a real 1800 Lumen light with a SMO (mirrored reflector) it would amaze you what a real 1800 lumen light looks like.

I have an 800 lumen flashlight and was excited to find this one at 1000 more lumens at $18.98. Upon receiving it, however, I was totally disappointed. It is much dimmer than my 800 lumen one. I had intended to use it to see on a bike, but I don't even find it safe to use it for being seen. When I turned it on at 'high' on my bike, pedestrians walking around didn't even notice. When contacting the seller for return, they said this low price is promotional--in other words, it's cheap not because it's a fake... They ask me to ship it back to China at my own expense. Knowing how expensive the int'l shipping is, they sure can make some money selling a misrepresented product absolutely one-way.

Addendum: Just saw this response the seller Highly posted to a buyer feedback: " Please use 3AAA battery, the torch will be more bright. Exceeded 1800 lumens! ! !"

I tried two other rechargeable lights that would only hold a charge for about 2-3 minutes. The first one I didn't keep my receipt from Lowes and it went to the junk. The second one I took back from wally world having kept everything as the main problem with these lights is they take a lot of power to run them. The brinkmann is heavy but that's because it actually has a lead acid battery like in your car. It will honestly go 25 minutes between charges and it will light up the night like no other light I ever had. Take your binoculars because it will shine on an object so far away that you won't be able to see it with the naked eye that's how good it is. It's heavy and it gets hot around the globe but who cares....just cowboy up and carry it around.

I got this light for Christmas two years ago (2008). I have used it every night since that day. After two years of use the battery doesn't hold a charge for more than 30 minutes so I end of charging it more often but it has held up longer than I imagined. Believe me when I say "this light will illuminate the world".

I bought one of these and it was a piece of junk. Charger would not charge battery, Right out of the box. I tried Brinkman Customer service which was a joke. You will never reach a real person. Brinkman's trick is to have a computer ask you to leave your number and they will have someone call you back. BULL! Never got a call back. I boxed it back up and sent it back. I would never buy another Brinkman product again.

Upgrading review. After three more charges it works much better now. Not sure why it worked so piss poor after the first charge. I did follow instructions and left it on charger till the light went out... bout 8 hrs or so.

My first review:

Just bought this unit, charged it up, took it camping... piss poor performance! Would give it "0" ZERO stars but they don't give you that option.

I had a NightBlaster 6 volt for 15 years. I put the battery in the wrong way one time and fried it. But it blew this Brinkman 12 volt out of the water. I don't know why these other people are rating this the brightest one they have ever owned... but is no better then a regular flashlight with 2 D batteries. Maybe the manufacture got cheap and dropped the quality?

I saved the 6 volt battery and bulb from the old NightBlaster... Maybe I'll try putting inside this unit see what happens. Or maybe just send it back and buy the NightBlaster.

Why did I buy the Brinkman? It was less expensive then the NightBlaster. Gee, wonder why?

These bulbs are outstanding in the right application! We have an unfinished basement with 9' ceilings, and a garage with 12' ceilings. Both came with the standard ceramic receptacles and 60w incandescent bulbs. Both were dimly lit and dreary. I was considering swapping out the ceramics for florescent tube fixtures when I stumbled across these bulbs. Since we had the ceiling clearance I figured we should give them a try. That was December 2009. I installed 5 of these and we've been exceedingly pleased with them ever since.

They turn on instantly, but do take a short amount of time to reach full brightness. We've noticed no hum or other noise from them. They don't have that awful clinical "feel" that most tube fluorescents emit, and are a little less "yellow" than your standard incandescent. Outdoor temperature doesn't seem to adversely affect them. The ones in the garage (which get used year round) are in their second winter. We treat them just like any other bulb and they're used several times a week often several times a day.

Not sure what to make of the reviewers who've complained and lowered their ratings based on the size of these considering the size is clearly given in the description... If you don't have an application for a bulb of this size, why would you buy it? You wouldn't buy size 15 shoes if you had size 12 feet; would you?

For everyone else that does have a use for a bulb this size, buy them!!

This bulb is absolutely huge.

I originally bought it and the 42-watt Feit to compare light quality and brightness. This one has nicer light, but the bulb is so big that I haven't found a good place for it. I had planned to use it for my front porch but it's bright enough that you don't want guests going blind, so I need to find another place to use it. The 65-watt bulb looks "warm" like regular incandescents; the 42-watt bulb has a piercing bluish color that looks "cold".

I'm also uploading a photo to the Customer Images section that shows how this bulb size compares to a regular incandescent bulb. If you have a good place for it, I'd recommend this bulb. The main reason I rated it 3 stars instead of 5 is that the overwhelming size makes it hard to use anywhere.

This is a great bulb. I replaced my 300 watt incandescent bulb with the CFL bulb for one reason and one reason only. I couldn't stop thinking of my meter spinning with my bright 300 watt incandescent power hog. The CFL that I purchased from Amazon was a little brighter than the incandescent after it warmed up and used a quarter of the electricity. This bulb is as advertised and what I expected, but I must warn you, it's only good for open fixtures as the bulb is as big as a super burrito.

Honest reviews on Feit Electric ESL65TN 65-Watt Compact Fluorescent High-Wattage

Pros: PLENTY of light. Efficient usage (less power than a 100W bulb), lasts a long time (I have 3 of them that have lasted me almost 2 years and still running strong)

Cons: The bulb is HUGE. Ideally suited for an appropriate socket. They do fit in the Ikea standing lamps (that where I am using mine) but be careful not to move the lamp too much.

Overall: Provides excellent lighting. May be a bit overwhelming for small rooms but I still like lots of light :-)

Definitely a 4.5 or even a 5 out of 5 :D :)

The only reason I cannot rate this five stars is that the bulb is just so huge. For a high open bay application this will not be a drawback. The light given off is a good color and does not cause eyestrain.

Review of SuperBright 75-6262 6 Pack of Aluminum 9-LED Flashlights

After I ordered these flashlights I had a conversation with a friend who had spent $70 on his LED carry-around emergency torch. He said I'd learn soon enough why he spent $70 and I kinda did.

The turnaround time on the order was reasonable, about a week. They came in one of those plastic wrappings that demand a set of butcher shop kitchen shears to get open. There were six packages of AA batteries in the box along with six lanyard loops. As I took the flashlights out of the box I noticed that there were two different patterns in the machined aluminum, four of one with knurl texture on the front lens area. The other set was smooth raised rings around the lens area.

The batteries were a bit past their prime, to say the least. Very cheap, somewhat irregular shapes & signs of the beginnings of corrosion & leakage on the bottom of a couple batteries. I stuffed each flashlight with the batteries provided and then replaced them with AA Energizers after I saw how dim the flashlights were with the batteries provided. Made quite a difference.

One of the flashlights did not light up. Unlike the $10 9-LED torches I have for my ham radio stuff, the circuit board holding the LEDs in these flashlights were pressed into place at the front of the tube. (The $10 versions have a ring threaded into the removable lens holding part of the tube to hold the LED board & reflector in place.) Since the center spring has to avoid shorting out against a trace running ground to the center LED, I figured it might be shorted. I used a pair of long needle nose pliers to pull the spring up from the circuit board. That fixed the dysfunctional flashlight and it worked just fine. Those who do not have 50-odd years of playing with electrons would think they'd bought a bum flashlight and, without my experience, I would have thought so too. (I smile at the thought that I fixed the damn thing instead of tossing it in the trash: my usual response as age creeps up on me.)

Overall these six flashlights will work just fine around the house for peering into places under the sink or into a convection oven where my aging eyes don't seem to work so well with ambient light. These flashlights are good enough for finding the lock on the door in the dark when I forget to turn on the porch light before I leave. I stuffed one of them in my ham radio emergency kit and another in the console of my car. Two of 'em I kept in my office for the same reason I need one in the kitchen.

I was a little bothered that the lanyard loops were not installed on the cases of the batteries. Even with needle nose pliers and a magnifying lens, putting the little rings for the lanyards into their holes on the flashlight cases was a test of my essential tremor. Weren't easy but I got it done eventually.

I'd buy another box of six if I needed more, but I think six is just enough. That's what these are anyway: flashlights just enough to do non-critical illumination of come-what-may situations around the house. I wouldn't depend on one for signaling in the desert or attracting helicopters to a crash sight. They're good enough for home. They're good enough for me.

You do get what you pay for, although I'm not about to invest $70 in a flashlight for around the house. Money reasonably well spent, even if I did have to fix one myself.

Because of thin metal and poor threading unable to screw back on flashlight. Afterwards tried to turn flashlight on by pressing the back of light on and the switch popped in. I would never trust a single flashlight to work. Need all six to find one to work. Total junk. Find other brand not this garbage. sjr

When every single one of 18 AAA batteries included in a purchase is corroded and producing much less effective voltage than required, you begin to feel ripped off.
