I purchased this light, model 82156, black, from Costco this summer. The unit works very well, however, last night when the Puget Sound sustained high winds with gusts greater than 40 mph. The solar panel which is anchored with four screws through a plastic base which narrows to a 5/16" hexagon shapped shaft where it attaches to an adjustable mount on the solar panel snapped sending the glass panel airborne until is smashed on the ground. I believe having a 5/16" hexagon mounting shaft for a 6 3/8" by 7 1/2" glass solar panel is a design flaw. A replacement solar panel costs $18 including shipping, however, I don't want spend $18 everytime we have high winds which is frequest during the Autumn and Winter months.

Nice video, thanks for posting. This Video I have added on my Facebook wall for Sensor LED Light.

TheBigb1073: I have no idea what your problem was in the mount but I have installed two and neither one took me more than 20 to 30 minutes to do so.
where we get & what is the cost ?
POST where to buy the replacement battery pack !!!
Harbor Freight Tools, I see the resemblence.
Muy bueno pero como la podre ver en español
The solar panel is a pain in the ass to mount. is this why you dont show how to mount it??
wasn't that bad, took me 2 minutes
It’s not hard at all. Use an extended drill bit or drill a hole and use a screwdriver to install the screw. Done. Simple as that.
je parle que français donc nul lol
