Most reviewersOften produces less than rated peak (rarely hits full 200W in real-world conditions; examples around ~140W late afternoon)
Most reviewersLimited weatherproofing (IP65 splash rating) — not intended for heavy rain, immersion, or sustained downpours
Most reviewersMSRP is on the high side for a generic brand (around $249.99), so some buyers may prefer better-known brands or cheaper alternatives
