BRIGHT! But security issues.

Replaces an old flashlight that uses three times more electricity than our old one and seems much brighter. BUT!. We could NOT adjust the wire connection to the light body even when the wires were cut as short as possible. Installation would have been easy if we just inserted the wires into the metal bracket, but that doesn't seem safe. I figured it should be in a case or junction box, not exposed alone, without any sort of caulk or sealant to hand. A metal mounting arm does not count as a box or similar as there is no seal or seal on it. Even if we bought the bracket that came with this light we would face the same problem. Our last light had room to put the wires back into the light body. The chances of water getting into the wiring are probably slim, but with a $40 lantern, some time, and a few big storms. Who knows ?! but I don't want to risk that. I really like the light so I will try to keep it but I will have to make some changes. The price is unbeatable, even if I still have to buy a few parts.
