5.0 out of 5 stars Great Solar Floodlight, April 14, 2008

I purchased this item based on a tip from a review for a different (less powerful) item. To my knowledge, this is the brightest solar floodlight on the market. It uses 12 LEDs and a mirror-type reflecting surface to create a stream bright light. It has a metal (aluminum?) housing and in general has a quality feel. The solar panel is separate but attached by a long wire so you can optimize its exposure to the sun. The angle of the light is adjustable for precise aiming.

I used it as an "up light" to illuminate a beautiful canary palm in my backyard (about 25 feet tall). I attached it with zip ties to a 6-foot fence to maximize the brightness of it. My neighbors like what I have done and were blown away that it was a solar light due to its brightness. I don't know how it would compare brightness-wise to a similar wired light but it works for my application. Solar was the way to go for me on this as I didn't want to deal with wiring, and why not save energy where you can?

I have another one on the way to hit the tree from a different angle. The product is a good value and adds a lot to my "outdoor living" space.

Very easy to start & use, It's very bright, but you can't have any light shining on the solar panel at night. The brightness of a light dims the flood light eminating, so keep the solar panal away from a streetlight or any light at night.

I bought this floodlight about 5 months ago based on the first reviewers comments. I am quite happy with the amount of light this throws on a 30 saguaro cactus near my pool. I have been very disappointed with solar lights in the past, even just for accent lighting along a path. But this does a nice job of illumination - it lights up the lower half of the saguaro nicely, the top not so much. You can see the top half of the cactus, but it's it a dim light. As other reviewers say, it's not as bright as regular electric lights, but it does a good job. Also mine does NOT have the blue tint that other solar lights have. This is great for a portion of the yard where it's impractical to run electricity. I have an acre yard, and I have no desire to run electricity all over it, but I do have seating areas and visually interesting areas around the yard that I want to accent at night. I will be buying more of these for that purpose.
