Don’t Buy Their Cheapest Version The 65-watt 9266 lamp can proudly wear the title “Lights of America”. We have 9 of them in our barn, and they have been trouble-free. The light plastic gooseneck is a bit weak and requires a lot of tightening to prevent movement. A more robust pivot point would help prevent fractures from over-tightening.However, Lights of America has been getting cheaper with its lower-wattage lights. The 27-watt version comes with the lens retaining screws simply taped to the inside of the mounting plate. They also stopped supplying the alternate black plug to disable the photocell.Lights of America needs to review their Quality Control. Simply tosssing hardware into a box without an explanation could lead to easily avoidable failures. (Such as the lens falling off and/or leaking!)Their cheapest version (18-watt) is the model you should avoid like the plague. We installed ~30 of these, and over 50% of them failed within 3 months. Truly a piece of junk!Whoever designed/qualified the 18-watt version should be fired for incompetence/negligence. They should recall the 18-watt version and redesign it to make it reliable! Smoke in my barn is a no-no!So, here’s my summary:65-watt — Buy without worries27-watt — Some assembly required18-watt — 3-month disposable version *JUNK*
Bright Energy Saver Dies Quickly Very bright white light illuminates a large area but has serious electroncs problems. Purchased four units in 2006 and two years later all are non-functional with circuitry not bulb related burnouts. Initially I gave the unit an excellent review with five stars.No Stars due to electronics problems.
