Takeaway: For a light this size, it can output so much light! This brightness is rated at 100 lm.

I tested this unit in a pitch black hallway at night and was able to see down to the other end of the hall, about 30 ft. However, since it is solar powered, it should actually be used outdoors, but this should help give you a sense of the amount of light that it puts out.

A vast improvement over the previous version is that this light has a diffuser, since this softens the light without diminishing its brightness. I also like that the light is directed "down" instead of out. This means that you won't have to look directly into the LEDs when it's on, unless of course you are standing under it and look straight up. By positioning the light in this way, the light spreads and fills one area and doesn't put off a glare when you're facing it. The only drawback to this configuration is that the solar panel sits on top, so this means that you can't install this under an awning or overhang as this will block its solar panel's access to direct sunlight.

The features are very useful. The battery in it is solar powered, it detects ambient light and only comes on when it's dark out, the motion sensor detects up to 10 ft away, and it shuts off automatically after 30 seconds. It was very easy to setup, install and operate. Because the solar panel is flat on top of this light, you'll want it to be at the highest point on the south side of whatever you're attaching it to, otherwise cast shadows will limit the amount of light that hits the solar panel. If you install this in a shady spot or on the north side of your house, shed or garage, be aware that it may not get enough sunlight to fully charge its battery.

This light is cutely egg-shaped and is made of plastic with a solid white base and a translucent white top. On the front you have the Vava logo and a small indicator LED and on the back you have the charging port hidden behind a rubber door. The unit takes about 5 hours to fully charge and the LED blinks blue quickly while charging. Once fully charged can last for up to 80 hours or about 10 consecutive nights at 8 hours each. What's nice about this night light is that once it is charged, it is portable and can be placed in different rooms and doesn't need to be near an outlet. It's also IP65 water resistant rated and is able to get wet. On the bottom

Silkworld Ice Silk Briefs Review

Silkworld Ice Silk Briefs Review Buy it at Amazon: Silkworld Ice Silk Briefs [Affiliate Link] Takeaway: Sheer, revealing, soft and comfortable, very low profile and lightweight with enhancement bands in front. You'll receive 8 pairs of underwear in different colors: blue, orange, yellow, red, hot pink, black, white and cyan. The underwear is made from a sheer nylon spandex blend with a mesh weave. The front pouch is framed by elastic bands and stretches to accommodate larger endowments, but does require some adjustments and manual finagling; it could use some more room in general. However, the bands lift and accentuate your package for a fuller look. While there's a seam down the middle of the pouch, it's smooth and you can barely feel it. The waist band is 1" wide and stretches quite a bit. Note that the more the material stretches, the more transparent it becomes. In back, you'll get full coverage for your backside, and it will stretch to accommodate your curve
