Review on LeiDrail Address Numbers Reflective Illuminated by Scott Rao

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Inaccurate website description

I like the product but it doesn't work as described when I bought it from the store. I even sent the first LeiDrail product back thinking it was defective. Here's what I found when I got my second replacement. DO NOT hang the product in direct sunlight. The description says it can be hung anywhere. This is incorrect. I hung the product under the porch. It gets some sunlight but not enough to keep it charged to stay lit all night. 2. Hanging the product in direct sunlight is NOT GOOD. Yes, it charges the solar component but warps the product. The Texas heat was a good test for this product. He can't stand the Texan heat when hanging the item in the Texan summer heat. So this is another inaccurate description for buyers to believe.3. The third factor concerns the ambient lighting. Even though I hung my product under my porch, the neighbor across the street has a spotlight that illuminates my porch for 4 hours after sunset. So the spotlight interferes with my product and either drains the sun's charge or mixes the product between daylight and moonlight. Therefore, this is another inaccurate description as it does not state that the consumer CANNOT hang the product in a place where the ambient light will disturb the time of day. I like the sleek and sleek design of the product, but it doesn't hold up. Installing the product in direct sunlight in Texas. The product will not charge under a porch where there is not enough sunlight to charge the product. Although the description states that it will charge on cloudy and/or rainy days, installing the product on a covered porch will NOT allow for sufficient exposure to sunlight for the product to function effectively. DO NOT illuminate all night. The description states that the product turns on at dusk and turns off at dawn. This does NOT apply if the product is installed in a location with low sun exposure. Please correct your description that says it can be hung anywhere. If I want my product to stay lit all night I need to remove it from the screw mount and place it where indirect sunlight can charge the product and then hang it up. Come back under my porch. As you can see, I have tested this product in a variety of ways and have written my findings in this product review so other consumers can take a close look at where the product is installed.
