Customer Reviews

Great idea, defective product
When the factory-charged batteries ran out the solar panel would not charge the light. This was a fluorescent version. The replacement unit- quickly sent by Amazon -was LED. The same case and everything but with bright LEDs inside. I liked it much better than the fluorescent one.
The second unit charged and worked very well until the charge was depleted. Then the LEDs would start blinking. Like an emergency light. Sunforce said that this was not normal behavior. I returned it as well. The light will stay up for around two hours, charge quickly but the blinking made it unfit for continuous use. A nice product but quallity needs to be improved.

should have kept looking
I was looking for something like this for months. It was a new product on Amazon when I did a Froogle search. Installed immediately the batteries charged right up and when I turned on the light I was disappointed. My 8x10 shed was dimly lit, lots of shadows, certainly not enough to work by. Not much more light than what my lawn lights put out. During the past two months I've used the light 4 or 5 times for a few minutes each time. After being used no more than an hour over a two month period the bulb died. I haven't even begun to look for a new one. Very disappointed

Don't bother...
Forget using this in a shed as the light is hardly bright enough to see your hand in front of your face.

It doesn't hold a charge for longer than a few hours (the unit I received stayed on for about one hour and the box stated three hours). This information was no where to be found on the website.

I purchased this item to use in my chicken coop and had anticipated that I would be able to leave it turned on at all times. My plan was that it would recharge during the day and stay illuminated during the night. Not possible with this unit as it can't charge the battery at all if it's left turned on. In addition the unit I received had been previously used and returned by someone else (obvious from the packaging that it had been used before)... so I'm not the only one who thought this was worthless.

Save your money and try a different product.
