LED Deformable Lights - Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down? - PJ - 05-25-2020
The price of these deformable lights has dropped like a rock over the past year. When I first saw these lights they were easily $60 a piece. They are really bright but what a gut punch for a single light. Fast forward to today where I found the one listed below. Its a sale price but no promo code or coupon needed.
Some have motion detection which is nice. All the ones with motion detection that I have seen have a switch on the side so you can turn it off and run it like a normal light.
Have you tried these lights? What do you think? Has the high price kept you away from them in the past?

PJ, I bought his LED garage light back in December with a 40% promo code for $10.79 (regular $17.99). It works great and really lights up the garage. My wife really likes it and asked me to buy an extra one. On Friday the 23rd it was listed at $9.99 so I bought two! Today it’s at $10.99. Still a great deal!

I have been debating on picking that one up. Its a little bit different style than the more I guess you could say traditional deformable lights. My only worry was if it would get damaged too easily because of the plastic? Then again if its a ceiling light what are the odds anything is ever going to touch it?
Whichever style you go with I have been really impressed, imagine going from a 60w incandescent bulb to one of these suckers. Quite literally the difference of night and day!

I got a deal from your site for one of these. I put it in my shed (I just ran utilities to my shed about 1 year ago or so). This light is AMAZING.... I don't really have many of these sockets around the house these days, but this worked out great here.
I also got one from your site for a light that I use in my garage as a drop light of sorts.

One thing I learned about using it as a drop light is it gets hotter than I expected for LED. I had it laying on my roll around shop stool with a cushion top because it gave me a good angle at what I was working on. Anyway it didnt take long at all for it to melt the cushion which also deformed the plastic over the LED.
I bought a shed light a week or so ago I will do a video on here pretty soon. Its an LED light that plugs into a solar panel, I havent put it up yet, I think it will be ok but without even using it there are some things I dont like about it.

Yeah they do get surprisingly hot. You are right about that.
I have an outside light that I submitted to your site a few months ago. It was a Wal-Mart deal (Maybe a Westinghouse setup? I don't recall). Anyway, I have 3 of them in my yard and I LOVE THEM.. They are bright as can be and solar. They do really really well.

All of these deformable lights seem pretty cool. I would like to get one and try it, but I don't really have a good spot to use it. I have fluorescent lights in my garage.

You can put led bulbs in florescent ballast. I did this in my garage. I want to pick up a couple deformable lights for the garage door opener light. To get them t ok face the correct location I'm going to order light socket extension.

Good idea using the deformables in the garage door opener, but I am not sure I can use in mine as I have a cover (which I could remove I suppose), and because of the angle it is right up against my opener I think I will need to check again.
