How did you get a E680 for $600??
They are at least $900 and higher depending on where you look.
Your story doesn't add up.....I find it hard to believe they wouldn't fix two screws that looks mis threaded....I wonder what the actual story is??
Are these screws making the light not function in some way?? If not, I would say be glad you got a $1000 light for $600.
Ill buy it for 599$ cash.....
This is a Grower's Choice ROI-E420, which is $600.
The Quality Assurance should be the same on whichever light, I don't think you should have to spend $1000 to get correctly assembled screws, buddy.
This was posted merely to demonstrate the build quality and care that goes into Gower's Choice brand lights.
The "actual" story is that you are looking at 5 different screws that were all screwed in incorrectly which damaged the threads. Those pictures show two different sides of the light. The one with the bubble level is one side, the ones facing the other way are the other side of the light, meaning two of the four end caps have two screws incorrectly installed and one end cap has one screw installed incorrectly. By some kind of accident (or miracle) one of the end caps has all four screws correctly installed.
I can't just unscrew and screw those back in, because the actual threads were damaged when they were forced into place. The screws are sticking out 1/8-1/4" inch, which is hard to see on the cell phone picture but is extremely obvious in person. If I could just "screw them in," I would have done so. Whomever put them in at the factory has already smashed them into place, they are cross-threaded and the existing holes were hogged out by the angle the screws were installed at.
Yes the light still "works," but it's supposed to be IP65 rated, meaning it should resist dampness...how is it going to do that with a 1/8" panel gap?
And is it acceptable to have a bunch of wonky, stripped, sticking out screws on a "professionally" constructed retail product?
Sorry you took this as a personal attack.
