I replaced the old school halogen rectangle outdoor security lights. Bulbs seem to burn out every 8 months and with (2) of these, I was always replacing these at around $8 a bulb. Plus when they are full on, its 300 watts or half dim for 8 hours at 150 watts. I did like the half dim feature on my old lights, but with the price of electricity going up, have to start switching out. I put these up today and came home to a great looking lite driveway. I have a 3-car driveway with 2 car garage. The light mounted about the 10ft+ mark and completely lights my driveway. I actually had to turn them down a little (facing) because it was too bright. I wish they had more logic in it to maybe have these dim or switch to one light, but then come on to full when motion. (clearly motion sensor is on these) I also notice the prices changes constantly. One day they were around $120, I bought at $135, and today they are $155.. nice job amazon for screwing with the prices. (knock it off). Overall though, excited to be using 20watts instead of 300w.
I seem to be having an issue with the dusk/dawn sensor. Its 4pm and its quite sunny out and the light is on. It seems to turn on not as dusk and does not turn off right at dawn. It can be 8am and the light is still on. My garage faces north, so there will be some shade in the late afternoon, but even my other light would turn off at the correct time. (old halogen).
