Where the points went

The Solar Score weighs performance, build, value, safety and warranty. For lights, safety means the stated IP rating: all five list IP65, so all earned safety points. Three state a warranty term: SZPOWER 2 years, Aqonsie 12 months and Auzev 1 year; the nipify and Latband listings state no concrete term. How we pick explains the weights.
