Previously run for ~$45, these lights have been targeted for rapid sale to make room in the warehouse.

Specs that are available to me are:
1W LED light
AAA NiCD battery (EDIT #4: Originally listed as NiMH. Incorrect)
Stainless steel exterior

I have these in my own garden, and they aren't super bright but provide a nice glow in the garden especially if you like to eat dinner outside. This will be part of the BiG BUY today but am posting early because I need to hit the F5 hammer trying to buy pre-sale Radiohead tickets. Adios!

EDIT: This deal runs until we run out of stock. Ignore the timer on the left :)
EDIT #2: Scientific size chart http://i.imgur.com/TbwJV.jpg
EDIT #3: Each light includes said AAA NiMH battery

      I bought 20 for my garden and after six months, there are two still functioning. These are poorly designed and not meant to be kept outdoors as it collects condensation, the clear plastic clouds over, the stainless steel rusts, the plastic points are fragile and often break. For the price you can afford to take a chance but if you want something to last, get something else.

        Hi Hugh, sorry to hear you've had a poor experience. We've only been selling ours since December, and as mentioned I have them myself (since they came in in November. I'll snap a photo when I get home to show their condition, but haven't noticed any issues so far.

        I guess it depends on your circumstances. And I'll definitely say the plastic points on these aren't fragile. I bashed them quite solidly into the ground (quite rocky) with no issues except me foolishly bashing so hard that I also slammed my hand into the ground.

        If anybody who purchases feels like the product is unacceptable we will provide a refund.

        Thanks for your feedback!

        These look exactly like the $2 ones that Coles were selling 9 months ago. I bought 8 and all are still working and they just sit out in the elements every day.
        They do look a bit cheap and flimsy but seem to work well, especially for $2

    • Cluster on 28/02/2012 - 19:34

      No, these are very poor. Look exactly like a pair I bought from Cheap as Chips last year ($2ea). They worked, but the light is provided by only one LED. The battery failed after a few months in each unit.

      The only nice thing about them was the instruction manual, which was written in very clear English with no spelling or grammar mistakes. Quite a shock for a product this cheap.

    • Cluster on 28/02/2012 - 19:38
      +2

      You will never need to change the LED. It's the cheap NiCd battery that will fail after a few dozen cycles. A 2W LED light bulb purchased in small quantities is almost surely going to cost more than $2.

      The description is not accurate. The photo clearly shows a box stating a NiCD battery is contained within, not a NiMH as stated in the description.
