There are a handful of vendors who will not pay return shipping even if they
screw up and ship an incorrect part. Partsgeek is one of them. That attitude
alone keeps me away regardless of price.

They worked fine for about a year. They then developed a mind of their own.
Sensors and light(s) are all within line of sight. Sometimes they work,
I use one from the link with the motion sensor at 9' high and the companion
light mounted 22' up at the roof peak. It used to work all the time - now the
performance is sporadic. It seems the battery operated sensors are the culprit
but I can't state that as a fact.

Way overpriced, but how common are heated seats on these?
Craig nailed it. They are both usable for pictures and video but text clarity
on a 'TV' is the common complaint. TVs aren't optimized for text although you
may be able to tweak settings to make it usable. If you are buying new, an easy
returns policy is probably worth considering.

I recommended Google rather than a specific source because there are many
