We have a really, REALLY dark backyard. There aren't any lights on the 1.5 car garage, so we have spent some time shopping around to remedy that.
We decided we'd like something energy efficient, and dusk to dawn would be a plus, or maybe motion detection.
I finally found a really cool "twin light" product at Menards. They mount on the wall, have a 3w LED that gives light equivalent to a 25 watt bulb that comes on from dusk to dawn. If the motion beam is broken, it lights up a brighter CFL bulb. They're awesome!
But... uh oh... Menard's literally shipped them, simply taped together, in their RETAIL PACKAGING!!
I didn't have a real good feeling, so I opened one and Guy the other and natch... both broken.
I'm seriously bummed about this. They weren't the cheapest lights ever and to ship them in retail packaging is plain careless. Fail.
Boo.

We've been eagerly awaiting their arrival and sure enough, my little bundles of joy arrived today.
