    Dawn to Dusk Exterior Lights - LED?

    I agree, also, having instant on and instant brilliance is important too. Led's have come a long way in the past year. The 13w led from RAB are incredible, especially when you have two or three in one fixture. No comparison to an LED array, as the arrays don't have the same range or intensity at...
