RE: Great price on HPS Lights
I got the lights in today. I was concerned about the packaging when I first saw the boxes. As it turned out only one of the 4 lights was seriously damaged and will have to be returned. I had to take every light apart and re-secure the capacitor. I will have to do some more work on securing them for bumpy rides. On one of the lights, the capacitor bounced around so hard that it broke the housing. I would have to say that they are still a good buy for the money. When you figure no sales tax or shipping, they come to about 1/2 the price of many others.
Man are they bright!!! You will see stars for a minute if you glance at them from 50 feet! If you order them, do it by phone. Talk to a manager and request that the lights be packaged in over sized boxes with lots of bubble wrap. If you have to pay a little extra it will be worth it. The jury will be out for a while on their performance on the boat, I still have to configure my set-up.
If they continue to perform after the work I had to do to fix them, I would rate them a 3/5 for construction and 5/5 for brightness.
