Amazon reviews. Wrote my very first one.
I love reviews. A lot of my final choices depend on them. I have never written one because of my English, but this time I thought I should. It’s about a plant light. We bought the first time in 2014 and after having to replace the bulb once, it is working great. Got the same one in 2015. Stopped working a year ago, replacing the bulb didn’t work. My husband took it to the garage to check it out. Didn’t happen yet. Got the same one again. Last week, I noticed a burning kind of smell (in addition to the smell I had in my other thread) and it not working. Unplugged it. My husband changed the bulb, the light didnt work and the base immediately turned hot. He unscrewed it and this is what it looked like. Before you ask, yes, it was a correct replacement bulb. I am glad the house didn’t catch fire and I am a bit wary of the one that is working. I should probably unsrew the base of the one sitting in the garage to see what it looks like. I did contact the manufacturer, too. Other than the bulbs not lasting, it has great reviews. I wrote a 2 star review. On one side I love the one that is working. On the other side shouldn’t there be a fuse or something?
Picture doesn’t really show that the plastic was melting.

Comments (17)I too usually post product reviews and try to give the 'pros' as well as any cons. I also try to include info that is not covered in the product description, and even one time contacted Amazon to update their description to include actual measurements.

Comments (45)Start with a site contour map. The rise and fall and run of the property determines a lot about what shape home fits on it. You fit the house to the property, not the other way around. A fixed in the mind shape just plopped onto a site leads to cost overruns to make the house fit the site, and doesn’t take advantage of any special conditions. Think about the approach from the street. The parking and home access for the family, and for guests. Which way the traffic approaches. What you envision the home saying. That could be “welcome”, or it could be “Go away, we like privacy”. Think about the sight lines and views. Good and bad views, If the best views are in the worst direction for energy efficiency and comfort, (west) what is going to be your strategy to minimize the negative effect of western exposure, while still framing the view? If you have cold winters, and the house faces that way, what type of windbreak or berm can be created? What’s the solar path through the seasons? Where are the utilities going to run for entrance into the home? Where is the logicsl place for a outbuilding? What materials for paving are allowed? What are the native materials on site? Rock? What size and color? Lumber? Timber framed? Mud for Adobe or brick? How can you incorporate locally sourced and native materials so the the home fits its surroundings? Think of what the immigrants 200 years ago had with which to build their shelters. Start with the site. Not the house. Understand the site over the seasons before you ever think about a structure on the site. A house is not a layout. It’s a living breathing 3D response to the site. If you want eastern morning light for your bedroom, the push and pull of the volume as a whole demands that some other room not get that eastern exposure. The roof and foundation shapes and volumes only stretch so far before becoming hideously misshapen by a floorplan. Think of a house as a big globe of silly putty. You stretch this here, and it takes away there. You push and pull the whole glob, with every change that you make. Sure. you can buy and add more silly putty to get the shape that you want. It’s only money. But creating a pleasing silly putty sculpture out of only so much silly putty is a really really hard thing to do. The floor plan isn’t done in isolation of the effect that it has on the whole volume....See More- 8 years ago
