These are ggggggreat! Specially at these prices...I bought some ways back .. They are well built, looks tough, strong heft cord, well insulated, nice stand with steak ..err stake.. BUT...Here's the BUT... ONLY one slight flaw.... They obviously put a lot of effort into the design and production quality, ALL except for the lack of heat-sinking on the Internal LED boards... Inside it's sealed shut tightly and no ventilation, and with NO real adequate heat-sinking for the LED board it leads to pre-mature death to ONE of the LED's (or two) since they are tied in series, if one fails, the whole unit fails to light up.. It;s a darn shame because everything else is so well built IMO. I will suggest using a timer (or unplug it manually) to limit the amount of time it's on and allow it to cool off. Say 2~8 hours on.. XX-off... Keeping this in mind, it may just last you several years................??? HOPEFULLY they've have upgraded these by now...... .... ... I would still buy it IMO..
