how long does the light burn and how much light does it produce? we're looking to replace a metal halide fixture at eve of 2 story house.

You control how long it stays on. Mine is set at about 60 sec after being tripped. It's surprisingly bright. Electric will be brighter but this is plenty to light up my yard and the patio door it covers.

This light has adjustments to make the light stay on for about 20 seconds or a few minutes. Not real bright but enough to see pretty good. Well worth the price.

The light has a timer on it. I use my light for several minutes and the brightness of the light is good for there size and price. I use the one I have on a metal building garage

There is a lot of light. I used light on the side of my house for a gate when people come into my backyard. This light should be used for a similar purpose

The 60 LED on this Solar Motion light can be set to stay on from 20 seconds to 4 minutes at a time. The light will last for 4 to 8 hours on one charge depending on the duration setting and the number of iterations triggered by the motion sensor. The light will illuminate an area like a 40 to 50 watt light bulb, so enough to see where you are going, not enough to read by.

Mine has lasted 2 years now. When you installed it you did not touch the lamp at all with your fingers and transfer anything to the lamp face? That maybe could create a hot spot and it burned out? Sometimes there is just a defect. When I first installed it I must have jarred the optical block so I had a rose tint across the top of the screen about 3 inches down. After a while you learn to ignore it, but I noticed recently that the line is gone. I moved the set a bit recently to get at a side connector and I am wondering whether that jarred something back in place. Now I won't move the set at all until the bulb dies again or something else goes south.

Quite minimal. I also have a halogen lamp and it produces much more heat. Hope this helps!

I hardly use this fixture. Light isn't very strong. Batteries don't last very long. You would be better off going with an electrical lighting fixture for better lighting.

The fixture in which I use mine has a 2 way dimmable switch, so would imagine so. The run pretty hot, but halogens are generally dimmable with no problem. Lower power should extend the life as well.

1. 25watt normal or led Chandelier bulbs of various sorts. 2. Keep the plastic on the shades because you will be wiping them down in time. yes you can DIY plastic replacement if it should yellow but keep the shades covered. You CAN put 100W in 'supervised' for a time but NOT with the shades on. HAVE SOME FUN HANGING DIFFERENT THINGS ON IT! :D

Well James, I have now six Sunforce Led Solar lights in my home. A total of n=5100 lumen, lot's of light for no cost. The lights are working every night for arround eight hours. They doingthis now for three month. Considering that I have n=85 60 watt fixtures working and not paying the city anything; this for approx. five years. that is more or less the time before I break even.

I get two one hour rides with it starting to run low on the 3rd. I just set it on the porch to charge. Don't expect as much light as a regular halogen but plenty for me. Bill

I never kept the product because mine came broke on delivery. How ever Halogen lights can get warm and go off but not every 10 minutes, something is wrong with your light to make it over heat that quickly. Did you put a higher walt bulb in it by any chance? That might account for the problem otherwise you got a defected one contact them. Hope this helped Good Luck Shari

It uses an LED lamp, so it should last upwards of 50,000 hours. You probably won't ever have to replace it; at 4 hours of use every day it will last you over 30 years.

According to UCI (I called them). It will shine/burn for 2 hours @150 Lumens, then it will start to dim and go into power saving mode.

I replaced a 175 watt mercury vapor light fixture with this one. (a mercury vapor light gives off a greenish-blue light) This Cooper has a metal halide bulb which gives off a whiter light (like what you see at a ballpark). My application is on a utility pole on a farm, so it is wide open spaces. The Cooper light definitely covers more area than the mercury vapor light it replaced, at a savings of 75 watts. I can see animals at least 300 feet away from the light at night.

Question 1: Yes, if you modify it, as it's molded to be a wall fixture, but it's only abut 2.5 feet long, so it's not very realistic. #2: I think it takes two AA batteries. #3: Battery life depends on usage. #4: it turns itself off after 15 minutes.

I think its 90 days but I've had mine for longer than that and the lights are very bright compared to my halogen high beams.

Hello there, If i remember correctly, this is installed with a steel bracket approx about 4-6 inches apart. One important factor i should mention about this product is the coupling of the main unit (the ceiling piece you can see here) with the bracket (the big circle portion at the top). If you'll notice from the last picture, about where the cylinder meets the "dome" for the lighting, you have to hold up the light and attach these onto the bracket. It may not look complicated but it was hard doing it by myself (as the light portion is quite heavy even without the crystal bulbs attached). Be aware you will have to attach the electrical along with holding up the light and finding the holes to the bracket all at the same time! Buy a strand of metal wire to attach through the holes during the process to hold up the light. Additionally, be aware of the hydrogen bulbs you place in the lamp. Make sure you buy lower wattage (and not the big bulky LED energy saving bulbs) as they may/may not fry the little transformer in the light. Hope this helps!

It's an LED on a circuit board, thus not practical for replacement by the average person, even though its accessible. I'm presuming the life of the unit would be something like 20000 hours (2.25 years continuous), based on other LED bulbs, but that's just an educated guess.
