Review of Brown Grizzly Bear Holding Solar Lantern

Brown Grizzly Bear Holding Solar Lantern

This bear is really cute. Be sure to to enlarge the picture and take a good look, there are a few white spots on the brown "fur". So, if you are looking for a perfect paint job, you will be disappointed. The few white spots are not that noticeable and the bear is very cute. The solar lantern does not make a bright light to light a path or steps, etc. it is more of an illumination. Think decoration more than functional. Arrived very well packed and in great shape.

I bought this bear more than 2 winters ago, has stayed out in the open on my deck in northern Ohio. Still lights beautifully, survived falling off my deck, MR thought he be cute on our railing, our Cat disagreed. Is starting to get a little faded but like I said never took in. Just LUV HIM sitting on my round table

Just wanted you all to know made it through another Ohio winter has faded to look like GrandPaw but that's OK. Still lights and thinking about repainting him but since I'm 60 and MR is 70 kind of perfect for us.

Honest reviews on Brown Grizzly Bear Holding Solar Lantern

Had I received all the pieces to mine, I would have gladly given this item a 5 star rating. The part I didn't receive is the metal triangle under the bear's paw that holds the lantern. I didn't realize that I needed an extra part at first and nearly broke the paw trying to force the lantern on the hook, but luckily I went and checked my PC and seen that I was missing a piece before I broke it. So I fashioned a metal triangle out of a wire coat hanger and voila! everything was hunky dory. Troubles aside, the bear is adorable and looks great in my yard!

**** October 14, 2013 EDIT ****

I've had this product for 2 months and the lantern has already quit working. That, along with the fact that I didn't even receive all of the parts has convinced me to change my 3 or 4 star rating to a one star rating. Avoid this product.

These are great devices. But only for the early adopter. Give it a year (mid 2014) and these should be about $55 and well worth it. We have a reasonably sized farm and have been waiting years to not just change from incandescent to CLF but to big bad LED floods to cover things from inside & outside our shops, but to even mounting on sprinkler pivots to illuminate which section is on (moving) at the time. Longevity and maintenance free operation is the goal for us. When Ledwholesalers gets these bright white (5000-6000k) 150w units down to $55 or so, you can expect the world to buy them in mass quantity. Think of it this way, if this unit were available today for $55 or so, we'd buy 250 units and install them immediately in more applications that most imagine. Put it in the perspective of a long term owner of a large operation: Give us models that can last 15-20 years without maintenance and we'll buy them by the truck load. We want to install lights that we never have to think about again.

It may be made in China(what isn't anymore), but is it bright!

I've got it installed in an extreme salt air environment, so we'll see how it holds up.

But you cannot, cannot beat the lumens per watt(150) uses a fraction of what a sodium or halide would consume.

Used it to replace a 275 watt halide and its 3x brighter and uses a kwh less per day to boot.

Make sure you review the actual size and weight of this light before you purchase it. I have a large wooded property and was attempting to use old standard spot lights for lighting over the last 45 years. I have also purchased a few commercial parking lot style lights and found them to be very expensive to purchase and use. This light is, as I mentioned, large and heavy and requires a very sturdy mounting place. I found, as expected, Amazon with prime had the light shipped to me in 2 days in very sturdy packaging. So far the light has exceeded my expectationsvery high light source, immediate lighting, a pleasent white light. I mounted the light using a small pulley system attached above the point I attached the light. This allowed me to bring the light up to the mounting area without attempting to carry it up a ladder and to position it exactely where I wanted it without trying to hold up a 25 pound light and attach it. The light comes with very good hardware but the bolts attaching the light to the bracket are very short and both a washer and lock washer [all supplied] are required on each and require very delicate finger work. I manufactured temporary bolts with handles that I used to attach the light to the bracket in order to align the light to the bracket holes and then replaced the tempory bolts with those supplied. I mention all this so that you are aware of the amount of work required to mount what appears, to this point, to be a very good high quality light.

Ok so I wanted to find out how long they lasted, however no one had them long enough to comment, so I figured that I'd go ahead and buy the 5 lights that I needed, so here's a few things to know

1. they are heavy(around 10+ lbs), you may need a friend to assist in mounting them

2. they require 120 volts

3. Yes! they are bright, right now I have two covering the front of our building covering over 500 ft of open space.

4. Still don't know how long they gonna last.

5. Very well made, China or not it's well made.

6. A bit pricey, but should see the savings over time with the electric bill :)

This alights as near to instantly as you can get and still have an AC/DC converter in the lamp (prevents flicker). It gives a crisp bright light that is slightly whiter than the earlier version using 12.5 watts. My only complaint is that mine buzzes a little after being left on for a while but it's probably a fluke rather than a design flaw. If you like LED lights this is one of the better choices.

It claims to emit 830 lumens, but it seems a bit dimmer than the 12.5 Watt version claiming 800 lumens. Not a lot dimmer, just a bit. (It could simply be due to the "soft white" feature.) I like it because it does not cast the 3 bars of shadow that the 12.5 Watt original did. Even light, good white color. Best LED bulb yet.

I have been slowly converting my entire house to LED lights for the last couple of years. As of right now, it is about 20 percent incandescent, 10 percent CCFL, 40% CFL and 25% LED. Despite my goal of eliminating all power hungry filament bulbs, its hard to find LED's that can replace Halogen and Candelabra lamps, since the fixtures are either dimmable, small or both.

So far, of the 20 Candelabra lamps, 10 are CFL, the rest so far have been incandescent. The LED's available to replace them have been either too large, non dimmable, too dim, too expensive or all four.

The Feit Candelabra LED's are the first Dimmable LED's that are just as bright or brighter than the 40W incandescent lamps they replace, and at a reasonable price of around $15. I got mine through Polarray which was linked through Amazon, but you can order it directly from them, just Google the name. Polarray appears to stock these when no one else has them available.

What you get:

True 40W replacement bulb at 300 Lumen or about 62.5 lumens per watt vs filament bulbs typically are less than 10 lumens per watt.

Pretty close to Incandescent light color at about 3000K. Strangely enough, they don't list the Kelvin, but I would say they are a bit Whiter than 2700K, at around 3000K 3200K. Haven't noticed any CRI issues.

The dimming works flawlessly with my standard ceiling fan incandescent dimmer. Note that on many ceiling fans that use the wireless remote, you may need to leave one incandescent in as a load. On my remote controlled ceiling fan in a different room with different LED's, using all LED bulbs made them flash constantly.

They are close to instant on.

They are very compact and will fit in most Candelabra fixtures.

They only use about 4.8W of power which is close to 90% less than the 40W incandescent they replace. In my case I went from 160W to under 20W.

Possible cons:

They are not "true" instant on. They have about a .5 second delay before turning on. The reason I mention it is because when I turn them on, there is just enough delay between me turning on the switch and my brain wondering, Where is the light? before they turn on. I also mention it because many other LED types I have are true instant on with zero delay, those are not.

They probably won't fare well long term in completely enclosed fixtures, especially small ones, since they will require some ventilation.

At $15 each, they are very reasonable for a LED, especially dimmable and 300 Lumen.

So far, I'm very happy with the 4 I got so far. I have an almost enclosed fixture that is just a hair too small for these to fit since it is designed for Candelabra globes. I plan on doing some minor modification and testing to see if I can make these fit, and see how well they hold up.

Very impressed with those. Been waiting for a bright and dimmable Candelbra LED and it appears it is finally here.

I wanted to replace the 40-watt incandescent bulbs on all of my ceiling fans with LEDs. When I saw that this bulb was labeled "40-watt replacement" on Amazon and that it was well priced, I bought two immediately, with the intent to buy more if they work well. They were delivered quickly and were well packaged. The bulbs look sturdy and have a good heft to them. After installing them on one of my ceiling fans, however, I see that they are not nearly as bright as the two replaced incandescent bulbs and are too dim for normal use. I then realize from the package that each bulb is rated only 300 lumens. To warrant a 40-watt replacement label, each bulb should give off at least 450 lumens. Although the bulb is not appropriately labeled, I feel responsible for not reading the description more carefully before buying, so I am keeping them (rather than returning them). I, however, will use them in one of the rarely used guest rooms instead. For 300-lumen bulbs, they look good, but I knock off two stars for the misleading label.

Purchased two of these LED bulbs for my wife's Tiffany lamp in TV room. I constantly find it "on" when no one is in the room. Went from 80 watts to less than 10 by screwing two bulbs in. Did one at a time, and I could not tell the difference in brightness or color from the incandescent bulb.

These are great quality like the rest of my Feit LEDS, which all happen to be outside, Operate no matter what the temperature and have last three years so far.

I complaint, dang packaging is so wasteful and hard to get into!

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Feit CFC/DM/310/LED LED Dimmable Clear Chandelier Flame Tip

I'll start out by saying that I really like the quality of light these bulbs give out, and I really wanted them to work for me. In fact, when they started burning out, I looked at the packaging and saw that they will last for 22,000 hours, so I took them back to the store and got an exchange. No problem.

I've done this now, three times, on each and every light I purchased. I originally bought 9 of them, at about $15 apiece. Not a single bulb lasted 30 days. Some only lasted 1-2 weeks. The local store has been exchanging them, with no question, but I'm simply too tired to keep it up.

This weekend, I'm boxing all 9 bulbs up and taking them back for a refund.

In short, these bulbs are a complete waste of money and time.

I purchased this solar Sun stake light, along with the Moon stake light, to use outside our RV when we travel. These are so much nicer looking, and easier to use, then the conventional awning string lights that many RVers hang. When we pull into the campground we just turn on the switch and poke them in the ground. They "charge" quickly and give off a nice glow at night. We have had many compliments about these funky lights!

Honest reviews on Smart Solar Helios Solar Stake Light

I love the design, and the yellow glow is beautiful.

NOTE!!!

After two months of use, I have discovered a problem.....the black solar gathering unit on the pole collects water when it rains! The solar light is still working, but I do not know how long it will last like this. I have tilted the black unit so it is vertical with the pole (and not horizontal with the ground) and am hoping this will let it drain quickly after we have a rain showers. Just not sure what it going on, must be a bad seal.

But, it is a beautiful design and will continue to look pretty during the day after the internal parts eventually corrode. So, if you like Sun images like I do then you will be happy. If you want the night glow be prepared for the unit to be faulty.

March 2012 I purchased 4 of these bulbs for outside motion sensor.

They work just as Mfg claim. Shipping was quick. Product packaged well. Bulbs are much brighter than any other bulbs 2200 luminous. The product claims they last for 2500 hours. This month one bulb failed.

Although I like the product and the seller Bulbrite I am disapointed I cannot return the defective bulb seeing I am over the 30 days return policy. There is no way this bulb was in use for 2500 hours. I use them on a motion sensor which hardly goes on and timed for 15 minutes lighting duration then turns of. At the most these bulbs were in use for 100 hours since I purchsed them in March 2012. I wish I could return the defective unit and have it replaced.

Follow Up December 2012:

Since my first review 3 out of 4 bulbs have failed in less than 200 hours of use. the bulbs I purchased were never in use for 2500 hours.

Our new-to-us house has three double-light outdoor security flood lights; one set out front over our garage and driveway, and two sets jointly covering the back and side yards). Shortly after moving in we realized that two of the six bulbs were out and the other four looked very, very tired.

About nine months ago we replaced them all with these Bulbrite 120v 150w bulbs and have been happy with the purchase.

The security flood light fixtures are mounted just under the eaves right under the soffit, so the bulbs in the fixtures are fairly well protected from direct snow and rain (though some blowing precipitation surely gets on them from time to time). Most are angled down between 20 to 45 degrees from horizontal in order to throw a good amount of light into the open areas.

These bulbs were easy to install, none were broken or damaged in shipment, and they shine brightly -just what we wanted. The bulbs are still going strong and we have not had any water / freeze issues at all. Based on this experience, we plan to purchase more when time comes again to refresh or replace the ones we have.

If you have a similar need and are looking for a 120v 150w floodlight bulb of this type and style, we recommend these.

The item is reliable and compact but the amount of reflection is limited in the sense that the mouth of the reflector is quite small. Even using a 100 watt 6500k light bulb the amount of reflected light is not really that great. The clamp has a pivoting mechanism so the clamped is stationary but you can still move it around. i have found this feature to be quite loose and does not stay in place like in the picture. No matter how tight you fasten it it always limps and doesn't stay in place. But it is a low price item so....

Depending on the brand of CFL, the base of the CFL may be large enough to prevent the bulb from screwing all the way into the socket (base hits the sides of the reflector before the bulb is seated). For higher wattage CFLs, 45 watts and up (that's actual CFL wattage, not equivalent) a socket extender will work, but it effectively adds about 1.5" to the length of the bulb. The tip of my 45 watt CFL extended below the rim the reflector, which makes it very easy to break if you're not careful. I'm not implying a defect in the reflector, rather just an giving an FYI in case you're planning on using a high wattage CFL. The socket in the reflector is a standard E26 btw and the reflector works ok.

I purchased two of these in the hopes to use them to help bring additional light into a photo studio that I had made. The clamp itself attaches to the lamp using a swivel (bevel?) style, that lacks in turning radius and function. Also the clamp requires a lot of pressure to open and doesn't open very wide (about 2" or so), if you need to clamp this onto something thick (or need to be able to swivel the lamp fully, without dis-assembling it), this item is NOT for you.

The reflector doesn't screw securely onto the base. In addition, the lamp's angle isn't adjustable enough to do what I wanted to do with it. But, I wouldn't get enough of a refund to make returning it worthwhile, so I'll try to make it work.

This bulb has a way to go in the wattage department to equal the 50 watt halogen they are meant to replace. All of these bulbs that are classified as warm white seem to be lacking in warmth of color, again, not quite the equal of an incandescent bulb. Maybe these features will be improved with time. But for now they are a satisfactory replacement.

This Ecosmart LED bulb uses only 10.5 watts but has the same brightness as a 65 watt incandescent bulb. Yeah, I know, you've heard too many promises in the past about LED bulbs that either are way too dim or that emit a light that is so cool it's almost blue in color. I probably wouldn't have purchased this bulb if I hadn't seen a it demo'd alongside a 65 watt incandescent of the same type. The color of the light looked identical to the incandescent and the light was just as bright. Both bulbs had dimmers and this LED is fully dimmable. I have a couple of CFL dimmable bulbs made by other manufacturers in our home that only dim to about 20% of the normal light of the bulbs, but this LED dims just like an incandescent, and it uses about 85% less energy.

This 6" LED Bulb is a down light, designed for use in ceiling-recessed housings and it fits most 6" wide cans. It comes with it's own built-in innards (you know, the recessed housing that you see inside the can, below the bulb) and it's own trim. Both are white.I purchased two of these Ecosmart bulbs. After installing them, I immediately got a third one for my kitchen. It took me all of 6 minutes to install the first two and that includes dragging the ladder out of the garage. All I had to do to remove the inside and outside trim that was in there from before, was to remove the two little spring thingies that hold the old one in (they're up inside the housing and easy to remove). The old trim stuff pulled out easily. There was one little wing nut up on the side that held in a silver colored plate that I removed. Then I was able to pull down the socket that the bulb screws into and remove the little plate by squeezing two little metal clips right above the socket. It was really easy. There are three little "flip clips" on sides of the new Ecosmart light. They were turned to the side in the package so I just turned them out so they were facing outward. These are what holds the light and the trim in the recessed housing up in the ceiling. Then, I just screwed the bulb into the socket and pushed the whole bulb and housing thing up into the recessed can. It stayed up there without any problem at all. The trim is attached and looks perfect. In fact it looks better than the recessed housing that was in there before. And no tools were required for any of the installation. Oh yeah, you're supposed to turn off the power before you do any of this but I forgot.

This might sound more complicated than it really was. I've never done more than replace a light bulb in one of these recessed lights and I already told you how quickly these installed. We already had a dimmer on the first two lights, so I didn't have to install a dimmer switch. You have to make sure your dimmer is made for LED lights. The one we had for the CFL's works perfectly. I probably won't use a dimmer on the one in the kitchen. I bought this brand because it's the first one that I've found that has the brightness of an incandescent 65 watt bulb and the warm color of the light. It's also a light that's on lots of hours each day so it'll be nice not to have to replace it. Other things I like about it is that it's supposed to last 35,000 hours. That means I could leave it burning continuously for almost 4 years without ever turning it off. Or I could use it 4 hours a day for about 24 years. I'll let you know in 24 years if the bulb is still lit.

LED bulbs have come a long way in the last year or so. If you've given up on them ever being bright enough, or warm enough in color, like I almost had, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by this one.

We've been using these bulbs for over a year and a haf and are very happy with them. We have one in the kitchen above the sink that's on for at least 5 hours per day and still looks as bright as ever.

They look nice, they are large (have some smaller ones in other areas of the kitchen) and emit a lot of light. Highly recommend and the price is better vs the big box stores, but definitely recommend comparison shopping. Came quickly when ordered calculate how much you spend on time/gas picking them up yourself for me it's almost always better to get them shipped to you.

Best Deals for QTY 12 / Cree Cr6 Ecosmart LED 6 " Recessed Light 9.5w 35,000 Hours

I have tried many LED bulbs and several of this design and this Ecosmart 2700K is my favorite. I bought mine from Home Depot.

By the way, Lowe's also has a similar unit under its "Utilitech Pro" line, but as of now it's a little more expensive and not as energy efficient (lower lumens per watt). It does give off 700 lumens of light rather than 575 though, so its a little brighter. It's a good unit but not as good as the Ecosmart in my opinion.

Positives of the Ecosmart:

* Only 9.5 watts with a relatively high lumens/watt

* Instant on at full brightness

* Great light quality with a 90 CRI

* No toxic mercury (Hg)

* Easy to install

* Indoor/outdoor

* Dimmable

Negatives:

* Price? Though electricity savings can more than make up for this.

Other:

* If you need a lot of light, there are other options available that are much brighter. I also have a unit that is about 1100 lumens and a little whiter... however, the 575 lumens of high quality light that this unit gives off is probably better for most uses.

* There also seems to be a CR6-800L model that is not as widely available but seems very similar but is brighter at 800 lumens and even more efficient (higher lumens/watt). If you need a little more light, then you might want to check into that model, though I am disappointed that it currently is harder to get and about $20-$25 more expensive.

Honest reviews on QTY 12 / Cree Cr6 Ecosmart LED 6 " Recessed Light 9.5w 35,000 Hours

I like these LEDs. I bought a 12 pack that were used as part of a remodeling project. The color is comparable to a warm incandescent bulb. The LEDs are very bright & dimmable. But make sure you use a low voltage switch if you plan on dimming these.

The build quality is top notch. Cree is known for their LEDs... I trust these will last many years.

These are energy star certified. My local power company has rebates for LEDs. I was able to get $15 dollars off each bulb. Check your local power company for any LED rebates.

At 9.5 watts these bulbs look great, have an excellent color similar to incandescent. In each room with 8 recessed lights, the installation of these bulbs reduced the wattage from 520 watts to 76 watts. Worth every penny of the price. They are cool in operation and very easy to install. Cree makes the highest quality LED lights.

Pros: this light is beautiful, especially once it's on the wall. Pulling it out of the box was a little disappointing, because for the cost one would assume excellent craftsmanship, and I would say it's only slightly above average. But now that it's up, it looks fantastic. This was fairly easy to install, and the LED is great for reducing wattage consumption.

Cons: the LED wattage equivalent is not high enough to be your sole bathroom light, unless you don't really care about sufficient task lighting. As long as you have recessed lighting in conjunction, it's fine.

Overall, wonderful light that really makes a bathroom stand out. Worth the money? That would be dependent on personal preference (0:
