    Does anyone have any experience with the lights from this company? From what I can tell, they seem relatively new to the market, so I haven't been able to find any genuine reviews about the lights outside of their own website.

    They look well-built and straightforward to use. However, they seem a bit overpriced for what they are. I'm bouncing back and forth between trying these out and doing some DIY LED strips with diffusers.

    i agree, they do look overpriced. the mounting solution for the light units does appear novel/different though.

    the dimmers, appear to be roughly $15 more than the same option most other places are going to have.

    this, and a few other copy-cat designs are what i know of that come as close to the same mounting/rotating solution as those.

    but none of those will come in anything less than a 6000k light.

    i guess the question becomes, how much do you require the rotating/waterproof assembly in your install location. personally, i like as much light as i can get anywhere--waterproof is easy, rotating isn't. i would recommend this $20 waterproof COB strip with those $5/ea dimmers for general campsite lighting far faster than $70 into one 12" single light and dimmer setup...

    the biggest thing is to look for a 4000k color temp for more natural-appearing lighting

    This seems like a much better option. Thank you for posting this
