In almost every respect, these Sennheiser RS 180 Digital Wireless Headphones are excellent: – The good experience starts with the packaging. The main box, the two inner boxes and the inner plastic container are very well designed and built like tanks.

I bought & returned 2 other different brands but none compared to these. Prior to making this purchase, I ordered the RS190s thinking that spending more $ meant a better product.

These are pretty expensive headphones, I had expected to be able to go anywhere in my house (including the porch) and get a good signal, but that hasn’t been the case. I don’t know of any good alternatives, though, so I’ll keep these and experiment with moving the transmitter so that I can get a better signal in other parts of the house. My mailbox is about 60 feet away and the headphones start cutting out- though the signal IS going through a layer of brick. Also it cuts out inside my house, at only 30 feet or so, if I am in the kitchen.

I purchased these to use with my TV. The sound is good but not as good as my pioneer SE-DHP800 infra-red head phones.

These are good headphones. The sound quality isn’t the best, for example, my Sennheiser HD 25-1 II headphones sound a bit better, but these are more comfortable and they’re open, and they’re wireless.

It is not like the way other manufacturers design their earphone. I am able to hear the sound around me and yet without having the compromised sound quality.

They have very reasonable range and auto-volume adjusts. NO extraneous noise. The quality of the RS-180 is pretty good. It only squeaks a little on the right side of the headset when I put them on, but after I have got them set, it does not squeak anymore.

I get around this by putting half a headband from a HD 280 in the groove between the cushions so that the pressure is spread between the top of my head and the sides. This works well, but why does the customer have to come up with a work around for such a problem? The only “real” problem I’ve run into so far has to do with the charging time. They’re supposed to be fully charged after 18 or 20 hours if I remember correctly. After 24 hours and 45 minutes, that little orange light was still blinking, so I gave up and used them anyway. But this is just a nitpick really, they can still be used, and it should be noted that I’m using the batteries which came in the package. After it dried in about an hour, it left those buttons with a raised “bump” that my fingers can easily find. The on/off/standby button is between the volume buttons, so it is now easy to find with my fingers also. So, I’m very happy to rate these headphones at an Excellent 5 stars out of 5. It took me a long time to pull the trigger on these headphones, but believe me it was well worth the money.

Many people are willing to go to great lengths to give the appearance of having a dark suntanned body. They may think they look more attractive and healthier if they have a darker complexion. Some, especially young girls, might be influenced by the celebrities they see in magazines and on television. Many of these celebrities seem to have flawlessly tanned skin year round and look like they spend all of their time on the beach. Today there are a number of sun tanner products that can make you look tan without sunning at all.[youtube:q5bWk5ToH4g?version=3;[link:Sun Tan Lotions];http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5bWk5ToH4g?version=3&feature=related]

Anyone who has spent any time at a water park, on a lake or pond, or on the sand by the ocean has seen people who will bake themselves in the sun with little or no protection for their skin. Even knowing the proven risks they continue to expose themselves to the effects of bright sunlight. They will insist that sunbathing is the only way to get a natural looking tan.

Overexposure to the sun’s rays very often has a negative effect however. Most people know that it increases the risk of skin cancer, even many years after they have stopped the practice. It can also cause the skin to sag, wrinkle and dry so that people end up looking older than they are instead of looking younger.

Over the years some people have turned to alternatives to sunbathing. Tanning beds and booths have been one option people have used. There was a thought that tanning gradually in these beds was less risky than sunbathing. Most now believe this to be a false and dangerous assumption.

Some companies sell pills that they claim will cause the skin to become tanned. The Food and Drug Administration has no research on the safety and effectiveness of these pills because they are sold as dietary supplements.

Tanning lotions that create an alternative to sunbathing have been available for many years. In years past they were not a perfect solution for anyone trying to achieve a natural tanned look. Many people complained that using these products created an unnatural skin color. It was difficult to get an even skin tone and the results could be streaky and unnatural. Some lotions actually had an odd odor that many people objected to.

There has been a big improvement in sunless tanning products over the last few years, and there are more options than ever before to get a tan without using the destructive force of the sun. The popularity of spray tanning has really exploded in recent years. Salons have sprung up that offer professional, natural looking, even toned tanning at whatever level of darkness the client desires. People who prefer to do the spray tanning themselves can find a number of products that are readily available in most stores.

Looking tan makes many people feel more attractive and confident. They may also feel younger and healthier looking with darker skin. By utilizing sun tanner products instead of relying on the harsh rays of the sun to achieve this look, people can minimize the potential health risks that sun damage can cause.

Risks of cancer aside, much of the public is still determined to turn their bodies into golden embodiments of beauty. Many only care about the moment and will do whatever it takes (despite the dangers) in order to procure the best looking tan in all the land, even if it means leaving their skin in ultimate disrepair. For those who wish to be beautiful and stay that way, well into the future, self tanning airbrush sprays may be the solution you’re seeking.[youtube:hwNcl4w5Lr0?version=3;[link:Best Self Tanning Lotion];http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwNcl4w5Lr0?version=3&feature=related]

Sunless tanning was once something that was experimented with by people who wanted a quick tan for a special occasion. Many people still use sunless tanners before a big event to make themselves more attractive for a short period of time, but it’s become quite clear that year-round, golden brown skin is coveted by a multitude of people.

Sunless tanners have become an integral part of the beauty industry. With the threat of skin cancer looming over the heads of many tanning enthusiasts, a great many of them are turning away from the sun and embracing dihydroxyacetone (DHA). Dihydroxyacetone may sound like scary stuff, but there is no need to fear. DHA is a plant extract, a simple carbohydrate, that’s been used for decades to safely color the surface of the skin.[I:http://www.uniquearticlewizard.com/extras/pics/sunlabs1image1.jpg]

There are many formulations of tanners available over-the-counter that will get the job done. However, many people who have tried these products have been greatly disappointed with the results. Being turned orange is a common complaint among people who try to tan at home, which is why a lot of them prefer having their bodies airbrushed by a professional.

Developing a tan by laying in a machine designed to essentially cook the skin is still a popular way to go about it, but for those who are on a crusade for beauty, you might want to think twice about this. When you tan by exposing yourself to UV rays, the color that’s created is your skin’s way of trying to protect itself from radiation. There is no need to torture your skin this way when there’s a safer alternative, one that will actually benefit the skin rather than destroy it.

Any kind of exposure to solar radiation causes indirect (and direct) damage to your skin’s DNA. Being tan is considered aesthetically pleasing by a vast majority of people, but if you do it by soaking up radiation, wrinkles and leathery-looking skin are sure to eventually follow. Not many people find those effects very attractive.

You don’t have to spend day after day driving back and forth to a salon, and you don’t have to subject yourself to the gaze of neighbors while laying out in the yard. One visit to your skin by the mist of a spray-gun will leave you with a fast tan that can last up to ten days.

Women who are pregnant are told not to spend time in tanning beds and it’s not advisable for them to spend too much time sunbathing either. Luckily for them, and everyone else (with the exception of Mexican hairless dogs), self tanning airbrush sprays are safe for everyone.

I had a confrontation with one and also have no desire to repeat that experience. As I mentioned previously, my light isn’t exposed to any immediate moisture at all – it is hung on my porch roof which has an eave that extends down one foot in the roof line and the light is mounted in the corner. My only grievance is quite restricted mounting options. Some less constructive feedback is the only screw provided to mount the attachment plate was too small for the hole in the plate, I used a bigger one.

Two small starter holes with my trusty Dremel and in 2-3 minutes, this ‘chore’ is going to be done.

I’ve because returned all six of these. You cannot project this light into the clouds to signal for Batman, however if you come out during the night in your pajamas, the light could make you look so cool no one would care how you look. The movement sensor has a longer range than I’d have believed, for some this is great, for other areas it causes the unit to be triggered whenever you do not expect it. When in the Auto position, the light activates, then beeps after a short time – but doesn’t active when I wave my hand in front of it – at close range (1″ in-front), and further away. The outdoor security lights produced enough light to see from the hanger bar to the floor. We park on the side of the home where there is no light so I began looking for the best outside light that would be simple to install and wireless.

The movement sensor works well, and the light is bright enough to see text by.

It seems pretty cheaply made and without any instructions. I have it outside below an eave lighting some stairs.

The lights do install effortlessly. I’ve had this light for a few months now and it is been good.

Only works when it is extremely dark so it saves battery life. One might have an ‘auto-on’ problem if batteries not secured, just open/roll and check. It is actually a “flood light” because it does not have the pinpoint beams of light you’d usually expect from an LED. Don’t expect 75 watt bulb experience.

This little solar spot light fails at all. That is about it. After I finally got desparate for better lights in the stairway leading to my basement family and party rooms, I could not find something I liked at the nearby “Big Box” stores. But, I made an error when I ordered it. You are able to set this mode by switching the light switch on the outdoor security lights, but you need to do so every single day as the unit resets itself every day. Have had over six months and still has original battery. It was precisely what I needed and is effective. Only gave it four stars because it does not have an on/off switch, or else, they are fantastic! I had to touch the sensor more often than not just to get the light to come on. Seems plenty bright and operates simply.

It goes without saying that it is possible to find a used Nissan that is as good as new. Finding such a vehicle is not really hard. However, just like buying anything else, there are some things that must be looked at in any vehicle before it can be bought.

The engine should always be the first part to be examined in any previously owned vehicle. Since it is the heart of any vehicle, it has to be perfect. You must therefore do all you can to test it and ensure that there is nothing wrong with it. Start it and leave it running for some time. It should not leak even a pint of oil and it should also not produce funny sounds.

Get in the car and take a keen look at the interior. The condition therein must be excellent. Always remember that such things as dampness and musty odors point to potential leaks in the in the heater core, weatherstripping or windshield. If the windows are foggy, that indicates excess moisture in that car. Always settle for a vehicle that has an elegant and breathtaking interior and exterior parts.

Take the car for a test drive and be keen on how it starts. The gears should shift smoothly and the brakes should be instant. If there is a problem with the braking system, avoid such a vehicle as it can cause accidents once on the road.

Never enter into a buying agreement without taking a look at the mileage. The vehicle you intend to buy should have covered just a few miles. This is simply due to the fact that vehicles that have covered just a few miles are always as good as new.

Finally, it is a wise idea to have a mechanic with you to help you find a good used Nissan. Mechanics always know vehicles that are in good condition. Find one and take him or her with you to the car dealership.

I’d recomment this for someone looking for movement sensor lights and not searching for high lighting as this provides a decent lighting. It has everything I really like, thirty second light, fantastic sensitivity, ease of three D batteries and bright light. We now have tried other lights and not had enough light to see inside, very happy to be able to get out there and not have to have a flashlight. Even if it does not keep Pepe Le Pew away, at least I will see the TCP lighting unit on and know somethings crawling about in that area before I let my canine out. Apart from the trouble or returning them (Amazon makes it pretty simple but it still takes time), I have been happy with the units. Thanks.

Go slowly and all will be good. I returned one in May 2011 when it stopped working. Simple set up and fantastic item.

When you first place the batteries in and it fails, just give it a few whacks.

They are fantastic little lights for the cost and work as advertised. The light is extremely low, less than I’d anticipated. Let the buyer beware! A nice feature is the fact that these won’t light until a little after sunset, nor will they light on cloudy days, saving your batteries. I had been hoping it light up the garage (20′x20′) size.

It’s a lesser model then descibed. I actually do have a question though, will it get wet? To date my bollard lighting units have been outside in winter weather with a number of snowfalls, and are working nicely. It takes nothing more than two D batteries and a screwdriver/drill to put up also it provides lots of light.

Super easy to set up.

Setting is perfect for 30 seconds.

I did need to downgrade 1 star as one of the two models I got myself had a broken nut for connecting the bottom to the light, perhaps from delivery?

These seem to be a little on the cheap side, materials wise, however they did work after banging them several times. Like others have stated; this isn’t a blinding, full flood light that’ll illuminate an enormous area. And it only comes on about 85% of times. The security bollard light is easy to set up, and worked just like you could anticipate with only three batteries. He does not like the garage simply because that’s where the cat has his cat litter box. I place a couple of these lights on my small second story deck. Great item!
