Stan, it looks like the lights are going to be beneficial for you around the homestead! You're the perfect guy to test items sent to you because you're going to be honest and fair. It will be good to see/hear your opinion after 30-60 days of use. Hope all is well for you and the family and hope you have a great holiday weekend. As always, stay safe my friend.

Thank you. If they hold up, they’ll definitely be a big help, especially in the winter months. Most of my feeding and up being in the dark during that time. I hope they do well because I see them working great in about 2 more locations on our property and this may be the answer. Hope you have a great rest of your week. Take care!

got mine about 6 yrs ago still works fine l ordered 4 smaller ones from amazon for inside the house when we lose power just remember to put them in the sun to recharge

Wow that’s a pretty neat idea. Never thought about that. I’d like to add a few more to other areas of our property at some point. Ours are still working well also. Thanks for sharing

I like the different functions the solar light has per the remote. I could see using the 2 hour for a bit of storm clean up etc and then changing it back to the motion setting. I too would like to hear a 30 or 60 day reevaluation. Thank you for bringing this product to our attention. Ya'll Stay Safe and Have a Blessed Week.

I agree. I like having options. I really like the lower light option so it’s not too much for the animals. I hope all is well, take care.

We love the solar light we have for our coop! We have no need for a light this large since our property is smaller and we have lights on the house that if we turn them on in the backyard we would be able to see just fine. But solar is the way to go for a situation like yours!

The best flash light that i ever seen in my life is the? T-6 Ultrafire flash lights. The 1 battery is better than the 2 battery. Oh man these flash lights are like ALIEN BRO.👽👽 They stay charge about for ever. YES there rechargeable > I ♥them! 3 years ago they was very cheap. i bought about 10 of them. got them suck every where in cars, boats, all around in the house. The zoom lens is awesome! and a super bright white light! like laser. They are 👽👽compare to all the other flash lights> You will love them like me

Great job Stan. Only though I have is, I had a couple of smaller solar lights, but the solar panels really need direct line of sight to the sun, due south unobstructed, to really recharge. Hope they work out well 👍

What a fantastic job you did with this video. From opening the package, showing hardware and great instructions on mounting. Then great showing of results. I just ordered and received 2 lights that look exactly like yours but had to order mounting bracket separately. I just opened them and no instructions at all in package for mounting. My lights came from Home and Lighting. It is a huge turnoff to have to order brackets separate and receive no instructions. Because of that I would not order from them again and makes me consider returning it all. Thank you for showing me how to mount mine. Great job.

Oh man that stinks yours was missing stuff. Overall these lights have held up. I’ve noticed the bolts they included with my hardware are rusting pretty bad after a year. I may need to replace them after a while, but everything thing else seems to be holding up well.

I need to look into these. Like you we use headlamps but that’s not always convenient for allot of reasons. And especially since allot of our animals rotate the light could move with them.

It’s rare but it drives me crazy when the head lamp goes out mid way or when a giant bug flies into my face because it’s attracted the light on my forehead 😂

Thanks for the review and info. Just wondering if the shaking of the tree branches will trigger the lights on during a storm.

@RockyCreekHomestead

Жыл бұрын

I haven’t noticed that and would be surprised if it did. In my opinion you have to get pretty close to the light to trigger the motion. The motion sensor is on the bottom side too so I think it’s detecting motion below it.

Nice video Stan. Do you find the 90W option sufficient or should one go in for the higher wattage. I have a big garden and would be putting several of these all around

@RockyCreekHomestead

Жыл бұрын

I am pleased with the 90w but my friend purchased the 120w. He’s happy with his, but I haven’t been by his place yet to personally see the difference. I think if I hung mine up higher it would cast across a larger area. I think it may be dependent on how high you can get them up. I don’t see a reason to go brighter than what I have though.

I bought a similar light to mount on a metal pole in my unit complex carpark. Im going to install it below the electric light as the lights are never on due to vandalism. My setup did not come with a bracket to install on rear of the pole, and I cannot drill into pole as it being electric. Any ideas how to improvise without the bracket. Thanks for explaining all the details of the remote as mine is the same.

Maybe if you have enough contact surface on the back, it can squeeze it to the pole of you run one on top and bottom. It tightens by turning a screw. Just a quick thought that came to mind

Hiii, thanks for the video, i wanna know what happened to light after this time. Thanks

The light is still functionally just fine. The remote works consistently but you have to be rather close to the light to switch modes. Longevity of charge and brightness has held up well so far.

Great for the average, 'weather wise' location. but here we can get down to -40 and all in one units like this don't hold up. Hard wired in is the way for us. BUT, I can see us using this on a portable stand with chicken tractors in the field or to brighten an area you'r working at. I've bought they kind you hang, the are just not bright enough.

I haven’t done a follow up but they’re still working well. We did have a deep freeze and cold spell for a few weeks which did result in a couple days of the battery dying. Once sunshine came back they’ve been working like normal again. A couple days of no light in 8 months ain’t bad though. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching

In all honesty they’re the only company I had a slight fall out with. Although their product worked well so far, we disagreed on some things that happens after the fact. They used my video I created to create an online commercial that got millions of views. They cut out my channel and page name and all I asked was for them to provide credit in the description of the ad as the content provider. They wouldn’t do so and we ultimately had to agree to disagree. Lessons were learned through the process. Although I felt disrespected by their business in terms of our relationship and agreement, their product is holding up. I try to be honest at all times so although I don’t care for their business practice with me, I can’t knock the product. It is for the disagreement I don’t have a coupon code to provide.

If we set it to 2 hours max brightness, will it go back to "Induction" mode when that 2H timer's up?

You can set it to stay full light, but I haven’t tested it to see how long it will last. The longest I’ve run it on full power was 2 hours. I haven’t had a reason to be out there longer than that. Other than that, it runs at a constant low light until it detects motion.

@RockyCreekHomestead

Жыл бұрын

Thus far they’ve held up well. If I keep it on the setting where it’s low light until motion is detected it works through the night. I haven’t tested it in constant full brightness. I’ve used the 2HR brightness mode when I go out to feed in the mornings or late night. Once the 2 hours is up the light cuts completely out instead of going to low light which is a pain. I just make sure I use the remote to switch them to low light mode when I’m done feeding now. I’ve had about 2 viewers comment that they had issues with their light and customer service wasn’t good when they reached out. I haven’t had to contact them yet. Other than them sending me the wrong mounting screws for one light, I haven’t had an issue so far. A local friend purchased 2 without issues as well. I hope this information helps you determine if it’s worth the buy or not.

I ordered two of the 500 watt lights and one battery failed almost immediately. I have not been able to get a replacement or a response from their customer service. Caution advised.
