This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Purchased this light at Wal mart November 2017. The light worked as it should until December 2017. The bulb is the problem. I can put a regular bulb in fixture and it works fine. Tried the led bulb that came with fixture in another socket and nothing. It says it has a 25, 000 hour life. Mine lasted a little over a month. That is unexceptable. I cannot even find where to buy a replacement bulb. I think that brinks should send me one free of charge.

I purchased the 7257 model security light in October of 2019 it went out 9-19-20. Most are covered with a 5 year warranty. What warranty is carried on this bulb. I bought the unit at Wal-Mart thank you

I see a lot of people think that the bulb is the problem... I did too, until I tried the bulb in another socket? I tried another bulb and it "seemed" to work. I tripped the breaker and it temporarily fixed it, but it still randomly comes on (about 1 night a month or less?) Probably more of a photocell issue?

2 stars for the the product's light bulb. It went out after 6 months. I read the messages on here and contacted www.HamptonCare and told them Brian sent me. Someone called me within an hour and they sent me 2 replacement bulbs under warranty, no charge. 5 stars for Great customer service!

I have only been back in my home 4 months from being displaced by Hurricane Harvey. I bought this light fixture at WalMart and had it installed about 3-1/2 months ago. The bulb has already gone out. Where do you get a replacement and is it covered in the warranty?

Same here...bought light Jan 31, 2018, wasn't installed until warmer weather in March/April 2018 and bulb has gone out already. NO way to buy a new one! Will be last Brinks product I buy and will no longer recommend to friends.

I have the same problem. I have 2 of [protected] security light and both bulbs stopped working within a couple of months. I cannot find replacement bulbs anywhere. Do they sell the bulbs separately? It is awful expensive to keep buying the whole unit.

Mine lasted 2 months, Walmart said they don't carry the replacement bulb. Told me to go to Home Depot, and they don't even carry the brand. Useless.

I have the same problem, no bulbs sold for [protected] I have two without bulbs one was purchased last week and the other about 7 months ago. Mighty expensive for little service. I tried to contact www.Hamptom.Care no luck there.

Mr. Connolly, Brinks will certainly be happy to send you a replacement bulb. Please contact us at www.Hampton.Care and let us know about your situation. We don't normally send bulbs, but in some cases we are able to. Let the team there know that "Brian sent you".
