anyone found a good protective case to store these in (for traveling)? I have 2 of the lights; but haven't had to travel via airplane with them yet.

Best I can offer is this lil' trick: I have 3 units. I went to Dick's Sports and bought a $9 hand gun case. It's got padding in it, it's plastic, and it's the right size for a few of these. It fits three units plus batteries and 5/8" to coldshoe adapters for each (so I can place on stands). I'm sure there's cases like this on here on Amazon. I consider these a poor man's pelican but be clear that while protective they are no pelican case. I hope this helps.

Should fit into most DSLR camera and lens cases. I used to always carry one with my DSLR.

No protective case. I keep them in the original box and package them in a travel bag.

I would get a protective case for it. I have mine in a case logic zipper case and keep it in my backpack that goes everywhere with me. Haven't had any issues so far.

I have mine in a regular light as well as a ceiling fan. I have not had a problem with any of them and I know they have been on for many hours. They seem to last as long as any regular lightbulb.

haven't had any problems with this. I have them in enclosed globes both ceiling and wall and they do just fine. I think the key is that it not be a sealed fixture. In other words, if air/dust can get into the globe it's probably going to be fine. If the light has a seal / gasket of some sort around it to make it airtight/dust proof, then I wouldn't recommend it. Best LED lights I've purchased so far!

Always better to play it safe. Run two seperate legs, you dont want to have all lights out because of a blown fuse. A little more hassal ,but worth it. I know this from expirience.

Hi Alex!sorry for getting back to you so late. Its very very easy to take off. I love these lights and trust me they are well worth the cheap price. Usually, lights like this are in the hundreds. I highly recommend. I may even order more in case this deal ever goes away. lol. Happy Biking!-Albert

I have them IN lanterns as well but under a roofed area. I don't recommend leaving them out where they can get wet. The bottom (where the batteries go) is not water proof.

Not as far as I know; I can't see any way to get at them without breaking the case open. One of my two has lost one LED but it makes no detectable difference. I think that most such lamps are sealed because the individual LEDs aren't replaceable.

I would have to take it apart and inspect it. I've had mine for a little over a year(used at work and home). Its been dropped from over 10ft. a few times. It still works without a problem. No problems what so ever. For its size, it is very bright. Only issue I have is the battery life. It is not as long as they claim. If u need a light that needs to stay on for a long period of time, you may want to check out a different light.

My lights worked but stayed on and didn't go off but I like the case, it's a face in the apple instead of a bite. I just leave the battery out.

Like others have said below..that small case is only for the frame, poles, and back drops. You will need an additional case/bag for the light bulbs which I recommend having something very sturdy as the light bulbs are very delicate. GL!

I put it in light. I can send a picture of the light if you'd like. I don't really want to take it apart. The light is on top the battery on the bottom. The case is about 5x5 and about 2" high. That includes some room for the switches. donanbarb49088@msn.com if you want me to take a pic.

I watched them glowing last night as the rain from hurricane Arthur poured down. I have had them outside non-stop for several months with no problem. I had some similar lights from I bought from LL Bean and I left them out for 3+ years, winter and summer.

There's no lense over it but it's sealed. I haven't had any issues. They won't get burned out because their led

My husband Chuck is a mechanic and he says it occasionally falls out of his shirt pocket without breaking. As long as it doesn't lamp tip first on the bulb it survives OK. When the light starts to flicker or seems dim, don't tap it or bang on it!Just replace the AAAA(4A) batteries right away. AAAA batteries are available at more stores than they used to be.Radio Shack has them. He is unsure of the lumens but it is plenty bright and the beam is concentrated enough for all uses. Chuck has used them for 5 or 6 yrs and bought 3 at a time because he loves them that much! My husband Chuck is a mechanic and he says it occasionally falls out of his shirt pocket without breaking.

Hi! If you want to take them with you, I'd put them in a plastic container and maybe fill it with some rice or wrap in foil so they're not flopping around and so nothing bumps around on them, even though they're pretty solid. I just love these decorations. Everyone comments how cute they are. If you need any further info, please don't hesitate to contact me again. Have a safe trip.
