This isn’t a bad deal, but it’s also not very competitive. That said, Costco sells something that’s the same specs for about $10 less, and it comes with a half set of replacement bulbs and a Costco return policy. Granted not everyone has access to a Costco
Absolute ripoff. The Costco version is less expensive and much higher quality. This version doesn’t even have the individual attachment loop above the light, as the Costco version does.
I often wonder how much money I could make correcting the translation programs the Chinese use… “…WARRANTY: 60 days money back, 12 months warranty. We are fully guaranteed for its quality problem. Please feel free to buy!”
My wife was just saying that we ought to get some of these, just like the neighbors.
Since these are not LED, we’ll pass and get someone to take us to Costco for the LED version.
BTW, the Amazon “mothership” says they have three left in stock. Why would they have three there, but a boatload here at Woot? Does that say something?
The cheapest LED set I found on the Costco website was $50. It changes color and has a remote. Are you seeing something different? The big reason to possibly stick with incandescent bulbs is dim-ability. The LED set doesn’t mention that it can be dimmed.
I know some can be. Although I have yet to see a LED or CFL bulb that does so as well as incandescent does (at least with a standard dimmable switch). I was just comparing the sets I saw on Costco’s website.
It comes with 24 power sucking 11 watt heaters for a whopping 264 watts of meter spin. Here in Connecticut if you have *Eversource that will cost you $0.0453 an hour. that sounds cheep but three hours a night for a month and suddenly your over $4.
The $39 set on Amazon is 30 watts will cost you $.005 an hour to run and $0.46 a month three hours a night. While the Amazon set has fewer bulbs it should put out as much light as a 125 watt bulb.
*Eversource charges (Rips people off) $0.17171 per KwH delivered to your home.
If you are on OUC in Florida Where power is $0.10192 Plus Tax per KwH its $2.24 to run the Woot! lights, and $0.275 to run the Amazon LED’s per month.
