Nice Light, But Bendable Housing

Now that I have these lights installed as Christmas decoration spotlights in front of my house, they are bright but not TOO bright and illuminate our decorated unlighted front doorway very well. Took me a hot minute to figure out how to attach the ground stakes before I realized that the attaching screw was screwed into the top of the stake and not in a separate package (no instructions). My only caveat is that the metal housing that holds the lights is very soft and bendable, which I found out the hard way when trying to push them into the ground after installing the stakes. I was able to bend them back into some semblance of their original shape, but they're a little crooked--fortunately light travels in a straight line so you never notice this after dark when the lights are on. They've already survived one heavy snowfall and a rainstorm shortly after. I have them on an inexpensive outdoor timer that regulates on/off times, which provides set-up-and-forget-it operation. I recommend installing them by pushing on the top of the ground stake instead of on the light itself, which is what I finally did to prevent the bending. Good little lights for the purpose.

Pros
  • The 5W LED bulbs produce a bright and efficient light, making them ideal for illuminating specific areas
Cons
  • The lights may not be compatible with certain lighting controls
