What Customers Are Saying
The light provides bright, adjustable illumination that significantly improves visibility in dark areas. However, many users report the product is not durable, with a high failure rate within the first year of use. While the light performs well when functioning, the reliability issues and problematic warranty process make it a risky purchase.

Would Not RecommendWe have bought 3 of these in the past year. For two light fixtures. One of the first two had a panel die in only a few months and had to replace it with a third. Now the second of the first two in about a year has had 2 of the 3 panels die. Will not buy again. $30 for a light that doesn't even last a year.
Two out of two failed within a year
Would Not RecommendI purchased two of these in winter 22. I just replaced them in winter 23. They both had panels start to flicker then fail. One panel failed in our. Two panels failednin the other. They were installed in a dry location, with no vibration. Cheap incandescent bulbs last longer. For 30 bucks I expected to get a couple of years out of them. I got less than a year. No warranty.
Very Bright!
Would RecommendIt works like the box says… very bright and handy. Have it in the laundry room and can see all the imperfections on the walls.

Junk do not purchase!
Would Not RecommendI purchased 3 of these for different locations. Even with very limited use all three burned out within 6 months!
Brightens Up A Space
Would RecommendI have two of these in my garage and finally got around to getting on for my attic. They really brighten up a room. I like that you can direct the heads in the areas you want brighter.

Keeps burning out
Would Not RecommendThere is a thermistor inside the unit that keeps burning out. I have purchased three of these and every one eventually burns out in less than the 3 year warranty period. So I keep bringing them back and replacing them but I'm getting tired of them burning out. I would recommend finding an alternative product.

Junk from China
Would Not RecommendOnce again Lowes has no pride in the products they peddle. Sitting on an end cap marked to $19.99 the lights rang up at $24.99 luckily I caught that. Once home only 2/3 of the lights were complete with a missing spring in one so the battery could not connect. Then the remote was almost impossible to remove the battery, only to find out that once installed (tried multiple times) the remote did not work. The back panel was so flimsy that the light fell off after 10 minutes. JUNK JUNK JUNK...should...
Nice at first; quits working after a few months.
Would Not RecommendI bought two of these for my garage and loved them. But one of them quit coming on after a few months. I've just taken it down and found multiple videos on "how to fix the problems" that is with this unit. Obviously poorly manufactured. I would not recommend it. Maybe a different brand...
