    The product, in the report: Winn Solar Powered 80 LED Security Floodlight. Made in China

    I purchased and installed a Winn Solar Powered 80 led security floodlight in early Feburary and it has been working until today when I removed it from under the eve above the garage entrance so I could paint the house. When I took it down I noticed that the door where the battery was was bulging out, so I unscrewed the door and found that the battery pack had doubled in size. The battery pack is wrapped in plastic. I thought that possibly gas had built up in the pack and had nowhere to go so I decided to poke a little hole in the plastic wrapping to relieve the pressure. The instant I penetrated the plastic wrapper the battery pack burst into flames and because I had it in my hand I threw the pack out on the driveway. It sat there burning for about 3 minutes before the flames subsided. I believe the battery pack is lithium ion. I am glad I punctured that plastic as I did, because I believe if the pack had been left in the light and had burst while attached to my house, it would have caught the house on fire. That battery was very near to bursting when I took it out. The battery housing and the entire light fixture is plastic and would have provided ample fuel to cause my house to catch fire. I will notify the company that I bought the product from on Monday about this problem. It is the Homesecuritystore.com at 1760 Chicago ave; suite L21, Riverside, CA 92507 phone 888-501 -7870. I still have the light and the burned battery if you need to see it. Let me know if you need it for some reason.
