We've got lots of Wifly units in rental stock.  They are constantly 
going out for our party and social event clients.   They throw a good 
amount of light for a few hours.  Great for things like curtian and wall 
washers, and accent lights for anything you don't want to bother running 
cables for.

You have to keep on top of them for the batteries.  LIke all the made in 
china stuff, the batteries are not super consistent in quality, so you 
have to do a load test every so often and pull the ones that die early 
for battery replacement.  Although that may also be because we didn't 
buy them all at the same time. so some of the units are much older than 
the others, and the batteries have just worn out.

We have also empirically determined that they do not stand up well to 
being run over by the caterer's truck.  Nor do they do so well when the 
ice sculpture slides off the table and lands on top of one.  If you drop 
one onto a hard surface from counter height, like any other light, it 
will take some damage.  How bad the damage will be is variable.
