I installed ten of these two years ago and they’re still working great. They uplight a treeline in my backyard and are in a drainage easement so they get a ton of water and melting snow. Because many of the reviews stated that the lights were prone to failure, I modified the installation to maximize their longevity. I clipped the snap-on wire connectors off, and instead stripped about an inch of insulation off and used DryConn waterproof wire nuts to make the wire connections. After digging the holes, I put a couple inches of pea gravel in for drainage. I cut some 4” PVC into ~6” lengths and drilled holes toward the bottom to run the wires in and out of. Put the PVC on the pea gravel, pulled the wires in

It's just ok.. i thought for the money it would be better, stronger (brighter) than other HB lites i have installed.. i have the other 9.8 in my landscape but wanted to try this under a small tree. Worked fine but even tho its 20w it seems less powerful (lightwise) than my other lites. overall i'm still impressed with quality of these lites and ease of installation.

Easy to install. It replaced another unit that had corroded out due to water leakage. This being a factory sealed unit with an led bulb hopefully will not leak and should not have to be opened for along time fo a bulb change

Terrible quality
I bought a dozen of these a year ago and all but two are out. Non-replaceable bulb means they are trash.

Decent for what they are
I have three of these that I installed 18 months ago. Two buried in my lawn under a tree and one in a flowerbed under a tree. Pros: The light is decently bright and the pattern is broad flood. Mine have held up well despite being run over by the lawn mower. Cons: Moisture intrusion. Mine have visible moisture droplets on the glass after a rain. Only time will tell if this causes them to fail. Something to take note of, if these don’t have the proper voltage (too high or low) that can also cause failures. I had several other lights (on a different, overloaded transformer) fail due to this exact reasonTake other reviews with a grain of salt in this respect.

I have purchase 8 of these lights over the last year, I now have only 3 of them working!
Thru out the year I've taken the back to replace them as they go out. I'm tired of replacing them and switching to a American made lights. Hampton Bay needs to step up their quality on these lights and leave China!!!!

This is a good light but the design of the connector is shabby. When you pinch the connector onto the line, they crack and break. I had to take several of this name brand back to the store because of the design flaw. Only reason I kept buying them is that they have a 5 year warranty on them.

This is now the 3rd replacement light I’ve had to buy. Water and moisture easily finds its way into this poorly designed product and the life span for me has been less than 6 months. I’d suggest finding another brand that may actually make a quality product.

I have had 3 of these lights for about 2 years and the seals have gone bad and moister has gotten inside. This has caused the LED’s to fail on two of them and one was foggy. I took the foggy one apart, cleaned the inside, and applied a layer of silicone around the glass.

These well lights are very nice for landscaping and security. We gave it a four rating, because we had to return some of them.
