Whether as a flashlight replacement, as a garden lamp, fireplace replacement (if the wood has run out) or as ... I think it came across, I like that thing!
Among the reasons:
#PRO
It has really many opportunities to supply the LEDs with power: winches, batteries, solar, power supply. It is therefore really difficult to stand in the dark. The price I think it is also more than attractive. So far, the lamp "unkapputbar".
#KONTRA
Where there is light, but is also shadow before: Processing acts for 0815-China, even when the lamp much more enduring than one basis of which now may think. The materials look cheap. Really annoying was the fact that there is in fact the "glass" of transparent plastic to the LEDs. Here a milky glass / plastic / plastic would have been desirable because the LEDs so unfortunately act as evil headlamps and constantly someone is blinded.
My personal workaround to get around this, consisted of the following steps:
- Disassemble lamp
- Edit the plastic "glass" short with fine sandpaper
The light output is slightly smaller, but there is no glare.
#FAZIT
Value for money is very fine. Only a certain self-effort should be observed as a buyer, otherwise you have unfortunately acquired a blend agent instead of a luminous. The materials / processing is completely ok, otherwise it would be priced well above 50 euros.
#Update May 2015
The lamp was two months the balcony, protected from rain. Unfortunately, the metal bars have begun to rust. Ironically, as I held the plastic material for the worse. As a permanent repository is therefore a recommended only indoors.
