Summates Solar Light 2-Pack Review

 

Gear Review: Summates Solar Light 2-Pack
Buy at Amazon

I am a big fan of solar lights, and after reviewing a similar product a few weeks ago, I got the opportunity to review this 2-pack of similar LED solar lights.

Compared to the original lights, this product had some changes. This model had a easy to operate on and off switch at the bottom of the light, and it had a adhesive strip to make mounting easier. The Hobbymate version seemed brighter, but to be fair, I haven’t had a lot of sunlight since I installed the lights on the land.

These things work great on off grid locations, I have one at the door to my shipping container, and outside on my utility pole.  I also have one with my goats.  Places I may need to visit in the dark.

The 50,000 hour led lights are not going to burn out anytime soon, and with a solar panel on top, I don’t have to worry about batteries.

This is a great invention, and I plan on getting several more similar solar light devices as funds become available.

I think these lights would work great on fence posts to set out my land boundaries and illuminate no trespassing signs.

This $15.00 Pistol & Rifle Flashlight is pretty functional for the price.  It installed easily and worked well.  While it is not as sturdy feeling as a more expensive light, it shot well and was bright.

My main concern with the light is the switch.  I killed the battery it came with the first night, as I accidentally switched the pistol light on.

I have reviewed Twod items before, and it is clear they are more for the airsoft market, I found this light worked on my 9mm pistol.  I did not get a chance to use this on a rifle and I suspect that it would break, but to be fair that is only my assumption.

For $15 the Twod Pistol & Rifle Flashlight/QR/Compact 200 Lumen Flashlight is worth the money, but only for a gun that was not in heavy use.

I wrote about flashlight use in my original Understanding the Use of Handguns Book, I normally use a handheld flashlight in addition to my pistol as I am concerned about muzzling an innocent person while investigation nightly noises.  I will redilly admit that a weapon mounted light is much easier to use.

I was offered this item in exchange for a review, but the above are my honest opinions.
