For some reason right now the light is popping at $45 new Pete

Welcome! To give you an idea, it was mounted about 17-18' high and the light spilled onto the side of my neighbors house about 95 feet away from it. It's a little sun. Pete

This light was a good deal at full price ($89)but too bright for me (and not dimmable very much) so I sent it back. It's probably the one I sent back. For $43 it's a heck of a light. LED Parking Lot Light - 24000LM 150W UL Listed https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXPVN1VB?tag=atomicindus08-20 Pete

I've had a Rheem heat pump water heater in my all electric house for about 3 years now. Not the same model but similar. My only complaint is, that compressor can be noisy - a little buzzy like some AC units. Otherwise it's been solid and cheap to run. I also got a tax write off Pete
