Cooper Lighting is recalling about 350,000 All-Pro and Defiant solar-powered outdoor LED light fixtures in the United States and about 11,963 in Canada.
The batteries in the solar-powered light fixtures can overheat and cause the light fixture’s housing to melt, posing a fire hazard.
Cooper Lighting has received seven reports of light fixtures overheating and property damage. No injuries have been reported.
This recall involves solar-powered, motion-activated outdoor LED light fixtures sold under the All-Pro and Defiant brands. The model number is displayed on the interior of the fixture. The Defiant MST1000LWDF, All-Pro MST800L, and All-Pro MST800LW all have two light sources on top of a housing with a round motion sensor on the bottom of that housing.
The All-Pro WPS2040M has a flat housing with the LED light source in the center of the housing and an integrated motion sensor lens and dimmer above the motion sensor.
All the light fixtures are connected by wire to a solar panel.
