[QUOTE="Shantilly, post: 1091406, member: 21597"] When ever I have trouble figuring out if a product is worth my time/money i research the net for the EXACT item and look at the reviews. good and bad ones because sometimes the item may be over all and ok item but it may have issues I don't want to deal with. As for light fixtures, the easiest way for me to decide is basically what the others have complained about, how hard will it be to change a bulb out if it blows? how much will that bulb cost me to replace? and them based on what I've seen/heard here.. get you an LED light that goes on your head .. 2 AAA batteries and then you just use it as needed. Always do your homework, check to see where everything is made. Also make sure on something like that, the warranty will be honored. If you buy 7 identical items and 6 of them give you problems and one doesn't..that is a manufacturer defect and you should've gotten those exchanged. Just because it's new doesn't mean it cant be defective and most companies send out bad stock on purpose to fill orders and have no problem dealing with returns because by then they have usable products ready to go. Look at Sony and the PS3 game system.. they intentionally pushed that system onto the market to make their Christmas sales knowing full well that ALL the systems would be returned because NONE of them were really playable. But once Christmas was over they had all the glitches worked out and were ready for all the returns. As far as handling the bulbs, use surgical gloves and make sure the bulb you have purchased has never been opened before. We had this problem with the new style headlight bulbs back in the 90's .. you had to handle the bulbs by the base and turn yourself into Gumby in order to replace the headlight in your car.
