I had these lights about a year now, they are located near my front steps, the light is just as bright now as they are safe and can see the path clearly,  (my street has no street lights )  matter of fact going to order more for side were then I installed them.   I'm 68 and play poker with a bunch of seniors like me Friday nights,  I always feel they steps.  My neighbor said the light I have on house keeps her up at night so these are perfect as they are low near steps and paved walk.   Can;t tell you how many other lights I had that are dim and I had to replace, these are perfect.  I highly recommend them.
