I love the design and the look once it is installed. It is heavy and made of solid materials. I purchased two lights about a month apart after liking the first one so much. They are all very perfect.
(0) (0)I compared these lights to another brand that offered more flexibility, in terms of angle adjustability and color temperature adjustability. Pricing is similar to competing products. The color temp of these bulbs is simply perfect, right out of the box: warm and natural looking. The dimmer action is completely smooth with no flicker. I, with the help of a qualified electrician, installed several of these dimmable LED lights around our living room, focusing on the various wall art pieces. I set them up with a smart dimmer switch and the brightness adjusts down to a dimmer setting at sundown. They have completely transformed our conversation room for the better. Do not underestimate the power and impact of good lighting! Important point: make sure to demo the position of your lights and mark the ceiling at the installation point before you start making holes. Our electrician temporarily wired one of the lamps to an extension cord he cut open and temporarily attached to a light, so that we could find the right position when the light was turned on. Worth the effort–we are very happy!
(0) (0)Solid unit. Great build quality and carrying case is a bonus. Folds up to not much bigger than a small camping table. A little bulky, but not an issue once setup. Got about 130 W laying flat in direct sunlight and broached 200 W in its stand pointed at the sun. Paired with EcoFlow Pro, portable power won’t be an issue. Might pick up another just to have if we get a bigger power station.

That’s a nice touch and with a 5 way extension when my oppno battery was full and the sun was out I could charge any of my USB things..

She needed something light to charge her cell phone, tablet and lamp as needed. Have a flashlight and low led light is a plus.

I used this daily over a week trying to charge a usb battery bank. On day five, it finally did it.Let me explain: I’m using this in the higher latitudes of CONUS. It is never sunny here. Less than 30 days of partial sun per annum, never fully sunny. I put this on the open on a bench and propped it so it would catch the sun when it came out. I moved it every couple hours to aim dead on to the sun. I plugged a near dead usb power bank into the usb jack mounted on the solar panel.It was light from 11am to 4:30 pm daily. When there was enough light that the red led lit up, I read 15 vdc on the coaxial output jack with my fluke vm. I get 5 volts on a plugged in usb to usb-c cord.Day one: the wind (10-15 mph) kept blowing the open flaps closed. I eventually tied them down. Charged the bank from 10% to about 25% at days end. By the way, the temperature never went above freezing.Day two: charged the power bank from 5% to 15% before rain forced an early end.Day three, four: too dark to use.Day five: almost two hours of partly cloudy, mostly cloudy otherwise. Power bank charged from 15% to 100% after 6 hours outside.Would this work better in full sun? You betcha. If I had 4 hours of full springtime, summer, or fall sun likely it would charge a dead power bank in a few hours. If you are in a sunny state this will work fine. The fact that it does work in near freezing cloudy weather says a lot about the efficiency of this solar panel. If there is any wind, the wind catches a panel and closes it rendering the whole thing useless. You will need to tie the panel open.This works in below freezing temperatures. The solar panel is very well made. The outside is cloth covered with four rivets along the outside edge. It folds pretty flat, but the box for the voltage output keeps this from being stored in my briefcase. With it closed, it is just over an inch thick. It weighs a couple pounds. The panels themselves are covered by an epoxy-like coating and will probably last years of regular use.I also used this to power some 12 volt equipment with the coaxial power connector. It worked just fine.I wish the power box was smaller. But it does what it needs to do. If I used this in CA, FL or any place that wasn’t gloomy every day of the year it would function great. The fact that it works at all here is a definite plus.It does what it’s designed to do even in lousy conditions. Recommended.
This is extremely useful, thanks to those adapters. It works with all of my power banks. I have a LOT of power banks, so that’s a great thing.One thing to note is that, while it will work even in dim light, it won’t actually output much of anything. I can put it in my window, and it will output enough to activate the charging light on my power bank, but won’t even charge it a single percent after a week. In other words, it is a rather sensitive panel, and it will output whatever it can, even if it’s only a few milliamps.In broad daylight, this does work quite well and has no problem charging my various power banks.
