Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've read the issue where some people are very disappointed in regards to the brightness of these units. It depends entirely on the ambient light of the area you live in I suppose. I live in a rural area with no street lights and a lot of woods in the area - I shine one into the trees off my patio in the front of the house, and another in the back of the house that I point into a small canyon and both are amazing. The ones in the front are brightest because they are anywhere from 40' - 80' feet away from where I placed it, the ones in the back probably shine out 300-400 at the furthest and look amazing as they reflect off the rocks - a bit dimmer but still very noticeable. I can imagine that if you live in the city or a well lit suburban neighborhood it might have a more disappointing look - but they are magical where I live.
