5 Stars for being plenty bright, solid construction. My only complaint is that the cord that comes with it is only 9" (23 cm) long. When you figure that 3-4" will be inside the electical box, that means that the light has to be mounted directly to the box. I mounted mine on the face of the eave and then this requires about 16" of cord to reach a box back an out of the weather.

FOR 20 MORE CENTS ADDED TO THE PRICE, THEY COULD MAKE THE CORD LONG ENOUGH!

First, let me say, I got mine from 7brothers, and the ones that they sold me, while look like the ones in the pictures, are not the same brand that I got. changed brand names? That is very common for cheap, china stuff.. or maybe same product, just got one in with this brand instead of another? but maybe same product? Good possibility. In any case, the product I got, like I stated before, looks exactly like what is pictured, but are Hakkatronics brand. At least, I think that is how it is spelled. The labels on them are so poorly printed, that it is hard to read.

I have bought the GLW brand before, and pretty much everything about these, is just like the GLW brand, with a few exceptions. They still have short cords (less then a foot), they still have cheap metal in what the frame is made out of, and still have the power inverter on the insides, hot glued into place, and the power lines still go right into the inverter with no junctions or places where wires connect. One straight solid line. but, some of the things changed are good and bad. For example, the power cord, on my GLW brand, was a 0.75mm, or 18 gauge wire, on this one is 0.50mm, or 20 gauge.. that is very small wire. to give comparison, a standard cheap 2 prong extension cord is 16 gauge, or about 1.25mm, and standard house wiring is 12 gauge, or over 3mm in thickness. This is only 2 times as thick as the power cord in a phone cord.. Not very thick.

Some other things that they changed in this version too are that they actually grounded the ground cord to the frame. The GLW brand ones I got did not have the ground cable connected to anything. The brackets to mount the light are about the same, same cheap screws and construction. One one of the ones I got, I had to open up the front to clean it out. The reflector that is around the LED, the spots on the corner that are punched out so that they can screw the reflector into place... Well, one of those punch outs were sitting right on top of the LED itself, so I had to open up the front to remove it. I bought 3 lights, two 20 watt, and one 30 watt.. all were made the same, same brand and build.

Another thing that was changed was the power usage. On the GLW brand ones I got, a 30 watt one only ran at 21 watts, and the 20 watt one I got, ran at 14.5 watts. These one, both wattage's, both ran within 1 watt of what they were advertised to be. so the power usage on these were actually pretty accurate..

One last thing that I did not like on these.. Both, the 20 and 30 watt ones, both had one screw in it that was just about stripped out, that held the back cover into place.

It is not a bad light, nor a good one. I think I would think more highly if they did not put such cheap, thin power cords on it. Considering it does not use much power, it is not huge thing, but the fact that they expect you to hard wire these into a junction box, they should have thicker cords to do it. and longer ones too.

Overall, I think this is one of those situations that you get what you pay for. You order a cheap light, you get a cheap light. So considering the price, I really can not complain too much, which is why it is getting 4 stars. If it cost more, I would have given a lower star rating, but they work. Only time will tell how long any of them last. And as for being waterproof.. I have no idea how good it is. they are being mounted inside of a garage, so they should not be getting wet.. so that is not a big deal for me. So far, yes I am happy with the purchase.. but only time will tell good they are.

************************************************************STAY AWAY / BUYER BEWARE********************************************************************* I bought this and installed it as an outside light. It worked great for 8 months and just like the previous model it failed and would only flash for one second when it was turned on. The company that sells the light on Amazon has a statement they want you to contact them if you have any issues with their light so they can make it right with you. Well I contacted them they told me it was beyond the 6 month window.

What good is a light if I have to keep buying the light every 8 months?!

You should avoid this company and their products unless you like buying the light and installing it every 8 months. .

very bright. requires installation of a grounded, 3 prong plug and also reading a wiring charts to get polarity of wires correct. I wonder if the bad reviews are from people who got the polarity reversed. wire colors don't match the 110v US green-white-black, however, once you research the mapping of the lights wires to your needs - it's a GREAT DEAL. We have one of these on each of our 30+' royal palms and they illuminate the whole canopy. It's been over a month now with our salty-beachside sprinkler water on them and no issues (I did silicone over all screws-metal). Nothing blinking. I even got a few as work lights inside the garage -- much better than a regular 60W bulb.

i am very impressed these things i bought 6 of these and they are so powerful that i could not use them all or it would look like daytime around my house. i think i am going to use less of them and just save 2 of them for spares. these are way to much light for just accent lights.
i think these are about 5 times more powerful than my 20 watt malibu landscape lighting.
one of them was cracked on the housing that the small transformer is in. i removed the cover and noticed that the acdc transformer had came unglued from the heat sink i used some epoxy to bod the transformer back to the heat sink and used hot glue to gold it till it dried. i also put silicon on the inside where the back cover was cracked. everything has been working for a few days now no problems.
very bright lights.
