You can never go wrong with Hinkley products, and this one is no different. For a basic landscape floodlight, this gets the job done with a clean, classy look, solid construction, and for a very good price (I paid $40). The fixture housing itself is well made out of metal and feels solid. It looks like the metal is painted, although I would have preferred powder coating for improved rust resistance. The stake is made out of plastic, but it's the rigid-type molded ABS plastic (so very durable), not like the cheap flimsy plastic that most cheap products are made out of. I still wouldn't be banging it in with a hammer, but this stake will definitely take a bit more abuse compared to other cheap lights. I hammered in a crowbar into the ground first to make a hole, then inserted the stake and packed the soil back around it. The double O-rings are good to keep moisture out. I might suggest to wipe a small amount of Vaseline around the O-rings before putting the cover back on just to prevent them from drying out over time and it'll help to ensure a good seal. The wire pigtail seems a bit thin - I would have preferred heavier insulation on the wire. Also, both leads are separate. I would have preferred if they were attached together. It just makes for easier cable management. Also, this is very minor, but I would have preferred slightly longer cable length. It measures approx 1 foot, but a bit more excess is always nice. Can't really comment on longevity as I just installed them yesterday, but installation was a breeze. Overall, it's a great light and I would purchase again without hesitation.
