Best motion floodlights?

[tom-ky]

Looking to add some floodlights to the garage. Some I have used in the past seem to have trouble with the sensors. These will be high up and want them to be dependable. I prefer something I can replace bulbs in, maybe something I can put LED floodlight bulbs in.

I've had good luck with products from RAB lighting. They have both floodlights with integral sensors, and just the sensor only that you can use with a separate light fixture. https://www.rablighting.com/controls

I don't know what is cheap and good... but I have tried the HomeDepot / Lowes brands and they **** dead in few weeks... and always had problem since the out of the box.

I have heard good things about RAB... never owned one... the costco ones I like went out of business... those 3 that I have still runs flawlessly past 12 years at parents'... The current ones from costco LED ones is great so far at my own place 3 years... and 1 years... but they are not dust to dawn... just motion sensing I put on a smart timer.

Have you used LED bulbs in them? Saw another post on here that said LEDS would not work, emailed RAB with no response.

My Honeywell motion LED floodlight quit after about two years. It would just stay on all the time and nothing I did fixed it. I ended up buying an RAB with integrated LED lights.

Have 2 RAB STL360HB motion lights on house with LED bulbs. Installed 2 years ago. No issues at all.

I have nine of the RAB high pressure sodium wall packs on my building, now being replaced with RAB LeD wall packs. Zero issues. These lights have a photocell for constant night operation but we have them wired with an array of motion sensors so they are not on 100%. The LeD wall packs are far better in this mode as they are 100% bright at -30C when switched on. The high pressure sodium units are not suited at all to this cold weather on/off treatment.

Do they have to be motion? If you put a timer or a photocell in to control it you eliminate that pesky motion sensor.

I prefer motion in some areas so they are only on when in that area. I really don’t want a dusk to dawn in some areas.

Lowe’s has em for about 35 bucks each 90w led. I just picked up a 50w led with radar technology from amazon. Reviews are mixed, should be interesting to see how it works out. Supposedly picks up signal through walls and doors!
