Very Nice light

This is actually the second one I purchased. Nice looking light and very easy to install. I'd buy more of these if I had places to put them.

These lights are nice....until you have to try and replace the Par20 bulb. I can't tell you how many bulbs I've broken and how many of these lights I've snapped at the base trying to remove the bulb. I had 3 of these light fixtures I was using as spare parts because: 1. The base would break, the seal to replace the lights would not be water tight and/or the bulb couldn't be removed. I finally went to an LED alternative and so glad that I did!

4-stars for the price 3- stars quality material Cons the way to remove the lenses no screws just pull and jiggle left right left right With a little patience it will come out I recommend to put a non Petrolium grease to be able to remove easier and lubricate the gaskets. If you dont do that its very hard to remove the lens cover. 4-stars for the value even if I mentioned The cons, still for around $18. Its well worth it. But Time will tell.

Great outside light

Good light for small landscaping projects.

These were replacements for older halogen units that used a higher wattage with the same lumen output.

Decent outdoor head. Nice thread depth which allows for a gasket and locknut and good angle adjustment. It helps to put a little silicon grease on the o-ring. I discovered that the cover is easy to get off if you just pull out and down (kind of like breaking open a shotgun), instead of twisting and pulling straight out. Either a par20 or R20 fit fine. Like all sealed fixtures of this type the bulb is hard to grasp with the fingers to twist in or out. I like to get some blue painter's tape or duct tape and make a " T" shape out of it with the tape stuck to itself forming the vertical part and the top of the "T" being the sticky side of the tape which I stick to the face of the bulb. Makes it real easy! It is a sealed unit, so LED bulbs don't have the longest lifespan in it. I need to use halogens, so it works great.

I bought 4 of these units. 3 of the 4 units function well overall. 1 of the 4 has a similar problem that others have experienced - the cover is difficult to remove. After great effort, I was finally able to remove it, after having tried rubber strap wrenches, screwdrivers, and rubber gloves. When reattaching it, I put a generous coating of silicone lubricant in hopes that it would come off more easily if I had to ever open it again. However, when I wanted to change the light bulb for a brighter one, I was unable to remove the cover despite my efforts using the same tools I used the first time. I think there is a bad batch with difficult to remove covers.

I really like these lights. The shroud is difficult to get off as previous comments indicate. After damaging several of these units, I finally found a solution to removing / separating the cowl (lens portion) without damaging the base (bulb portion). The short answer is two 6" strap wrenches, one on the cowl and one on the base. Here's some tips that I discovered: 1. Before the first time you push the cowl into the bases, wearing a latex or silicone glove, spread a generous bead of silicone "O-Ring" lubricant around the two o-rings on the cowl. This will make it easier to insert the cowl, and make it easier to separate them when the bulb burns out. When you insert the cowl into the base, excess grease will come out. Wipe it off with a rag, but be aware that more will seep out over time and you will end up with a strip around the crease between the two pieces. Its worth having the stripe. 2. To remove the cowl from the base, a) position the first strap wrench oriented so you're pulling backwards towards you to engage the wrench, but dont pull it yet. (I use Par 38 housings so 4" won't fit. 4" might be good for par 30 or par 20). b) Position the strap just behind crease. c) Position the other strap wrench oriented so youre pushing away from your body to engage the wrench. Put it as close to the crease between the cowl and base as possible without covering it. Now, each strap wrench should be on either side of the crease. d) If you have a helper, have him steady the base as you move to the next step. e) Push the handle of the wrench forward away from your body and use the same amount of force to pull the wrench on the base towards your body. Using equal amounts of pressure at the same time will stop the lamp from moving and cracking the mounting rod. f) Once you get the cowl to let go of the base, keep pushing but start to add some outward angle to slowly pull the cowl from the base as youre turning. Continue to apply equal pressure to the base handle that youre pulling. The o-ring grease should be helping you push to turn and angle away from the base. g) place the cowl with the lens down on a clean flat surface, so dirt doesnt get on the o-rings. h) Change the bulb. i) wearing a silicone or latex glove, put another generous bead of o-ring grease all the way around the o-rings. Repeat the above as necessary. Its worth going through this because Ive never found a better waterproof Par 38 lamp holder. Less

I have purchased several of these lights through the years. I have been using these lights for about 5 years. I will tell you that after about 3 years of use they tend to crack and break at the seam of where you screw the fixture in. I really like the look of the lights and they are fairly inexpensive for what you get. Overall, I am happy with the lights. I have not been able to find anything I like better. I just replace them every few years when they break. 4 stars because I like them, but they are not as durable as I would prefer. They will only last a couple of years in the hot Texas sun, but for the price I can replace them every few years. I will continue to purchase these lights.

This light is OK. However, it is a problem to install a PAR 20 bulb. The bulb fits so deeply into the light that you cannot really grasp the bulb. You need a rubber suction doohickey to screw the bulb in. Also, I was barely able to tighten the screw that holds the light in its vertical position enough to keep the light from flopping down.

These lights are an amazing value. I don't know how they can sell them for this price. They are heavy gauge metal. They accommodate a standard LED bulb so you may not have to change bulbs for years. They are very waterproof with double rubber O rings (use petroleum jelly for further seal assurance). If you are placing them in the ground it would be best to buy a chamber kit, to go below grade, to keep the junctions high and dry.You may have to spray joint with WD40 to open the light bulb chamber the 1st time. They may be listed as bronze but they read as black. Be sure to check the dimensions of the light. I assumed they would be small and unobtrusive because of the price but they are large which is fine with me.

This product is about what you would expect for the price. Design is basic and not much thought has gone into the use, maintenance or lamp replacement. Having a pressure held lens without a fastener will most likely lead to damage when eventually trying to replace the lamps as the knuckles are not all that well constructed.Also there is not enough room to grab the perimeter of the lamp to remove or install the lamp so its useful life expectation will be short.
