1.0 out of 5 stars Not Satisfied, March 30, 2006

I dont like to put bad reviews or provide information thats false. However I am not satisfied with this product and in the process of returning it. I followed all the directions for charging the light and adjusting it as well as fine tuning the sensitivity so it was not overworked or in a high traffic area. Three full days of sun light was spent charging the unit and adjusted it using the test feature during day light hours.....verified it when it turned dusk on the auto feature and all was tuned it good. When i went back out 3 hours later the unit no longer functioned. It came on for about half a second then immediately off. Pretty indicative of the battery had already been fully discharged. The company is a very good company but this product in my mind was a waste of time and money.

2.0 out of 5 stars Many parts not available, February 24, 2007

I have the model SL-7, and I tried getting replacement parts but the only parts available are the battery and the bulbs.

The screw-on lens covers on my unit have yellowed through age and the light therefore is not as bright as it could be - but no replacement covers. Althought the solar panel on my unit is cracked, it still charges the battery, but no replacement solar units are available.

My unit no longer lights even with a replacement battery, but I am leery of buying bulbs because if the unit still does not light, I am out of options.

The light worked well when it worked, but be aware that there are few replacement parts.

This review is from: Brinkmann Solar-Powered Floodlight with Motion Sensor (Misc.)

This light is not used as a critical source because living in north eastern US we don't get enough sunlight in winter months to keep the battery charged. This is true with most low end solar devices. Other than that, it works as expected.
