Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've had 4 of these for about a year. I never run out of uses for them or good things to say about them. I keep two inside on a window sill. And I keep two outside in a location only slightly protected from the elements. I can't imagine that you could break these things under normal conditions outside. The only way I could see them "dying" is if they were submerged for a length of time. One outdoor light will gather water once in awhile and I'll unscrew the plastic covering and empty the accumulation. But it's just as bright and comes on just like the others. These things serve their purpose fantastically. I could say that the brightness might not blow you away. but for one LED it certainly seems it should. It's plenty to provide adequate light to a normal sized room (15x15). Two could possibly destroy your retinas. I jest. But in the case of an extended power outage these could be a godsend. If used properly, it will provide plenty of light for reading, cooking, games, etc. I've got larger solar panels that charge deep cycle batteries and power inverters. and also smaller automotive type battery packs for an assortment of power and lighting options but these get the most use and were probably the most "bang for my solar buck". I use them mainly for camping and they last the advertised amount of time if not longer. they are always ready to go the next night. I've never charged them via AC but I might pick up an adapter so I can charge them from the larger solar bank should the sun fail to shine for a few weeks while the power is out. I'd probably have bigger things to worry about if that was happening though.
