Looking for a good quality bullet style dual flood light with motion sensor? I have a RAB one that is ridiculous to remove the lens to replace the bulb 20' up on a ladder (and has seen better days). Any recommendations on a quality one? Thanks!

If your incandescent bulbs burn out regularly, why not get 2 LED replacement bulbs and assume that will be the last time you climb up there? IMHO, RAB is among the best made fixtures.
Funny thing is they changed the way the weather tight cover is installed. My old one has a screwdriver head that you need a eyeglass screwdriver to open. I walked over to my detached garage and it is the same light except looks like they changed the screwdriver opening to a nice size phillips screw driver exposed head. The other problem with the older one is powder coating has wore off (looks kind of crappy). Thanks.

You're welcome. Glad to help.
You do know you are at the Garage Journal site right?
All you have to do is take down the old fixture, drill and tap the screw holes for a bigger more convenient screw fastener, strip off the rest of the old powder coating, prime and paint it with your favorite shade of metallic Rustoleum spray paint, fit it with new LED bulbs, buff up the glass lens with automotive polish and reinstall.
NO PROBLEM!
Sure beats some plastic POS fixture at Home Depot that will fade and crack, right?

Rab is pretty much the best as far as motion lights. You could get a different style with the screw in style bulbs and swap to led,find a light you like and just use a rab motion sensor,or buy a new led fixture and replace everything. Rab has a 10 year warranty,you pay more up front but if there's no worries for 10 years it will pay for itself
