    I like this Van and thanks for the review. Great light source that'll save a body from running wiring and helping to keep the power bill down too. Great as well for outbuildings and sheds that aren't wired and away from the house or garage. Probably discourage the squatches from coming into one's yard from the woods at night too! lol

    The motion sensor on my light stopped working after two weeks. When it was working, the distance was too short when the light finally came on. Unfortunately, box and receipt were trashed. I usually hold onto those for a while. Just mounted onto the outside of my balcony rail to use for a temporary light using the switch. Mine was not on sale.

    • @VansWorld
      @VansWorld  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Good vid! If you ever get to the update, how about shooting some video at night? You can start from inside your house with the lights off and letting us see how bright it is after 20 months. I don't know why they don't give a lumens number with this one yet they do with the cheaper 36 LED version! AND they're on clearance this month, being July 2019, so if they're worth it, go get 'em while they last!

    • @VansWorld
      @VansWorld  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Whundh Umfuqh I will see what I can do about an update video. It still works great. I am actually using it inside my shed for a solar light. I bought the 36 led solar light too. It’s awful. I wouldn’t recommend it at all. It yeah the 60 led has been a champ! 😁👍

      @@VansWorld Thanks for the update. And, if you haven't tried them out yet, the regularly priced $29.99 Braun 4ft. 5000 lumen shop lights are $19.99 with the their own coupon or a 20% coupon. I've got 2 of them in a large room with no overhead lights and they kick ass! One's literally sitting on the stand behind my 46" flat screen and the other is on the other end of the room so there's no reflection. I'm using them with a cheap 3 button remote control all plugged into the same 4ft 12 outlet bar that was also on sale at HF earlier this month, yet still worth their regular $24 or $29 price. Have fun!!
