So far so good
- We purchased a 2-pack and I have installed them both.
- Packaging was unimpressive. They came in a clear ziplock bag with a barcode and a 'made in China' sticker. An instruction pamphlet was included but it has no brand name other than the name and address of a manufacturer in China. There are no brand names or markings on the product itself. I could not verify that these are actually made by the SnapPower company. The seller was Rocky Mountain through Amazon Prime.
- The installation is simple, but I had to pull the receptacles out to tighten the terminal screws (my house's electrician must have been lazy). The contacts on the wallplate make contact with the lower two terminal screws on my receptacles.
- They work, but I was expecting them to activate with "less darkness." It has to be quite dark for them to turn on. Covering the light sensor with my finger does not activate them (my finger must be too translucent). But covering the sensor with a dark colored object activates them.
- At night, they turn on and adequately light the area. The light color is slightly bluish. See photos.
- Home Depot sells almost the identical product under the Night Angel brand for under $10 each. My Amazon purchase was over $15 each. I have some of the HD ones and they work just as well. In the future I would buy the Night Angel ones as they are cheaper, appear to be of equal quality, and come in real packaging with a US name and address. The Night Angel package says 'patent pending' on it, and they are also made in China.
