LED Deformable Lights - Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down?

[MiscellaneousDave]

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.

I wish the LED florescent lights were compatible with ballasts where you could just easily replace the bulbs in the existing fixture.
