Hello, I'm using a couple lamp style lights in the front of the garage (one on each side) and a motion sensor in the upper center. I also want a motion sensor light in the back (same location) but also want a light on the back that is switch controlled when we hang outside at night. I want the light to be spread out (not spot light like most outdoor lights) and relatively bright. Can you suggest some lighting for that? :beer:

Here's my current set up.

I used a double bulb mount high up at the peak under the front overhang of the garage I leave it on all the time because I use 2 12-13 watt led bulbs in the fixture. The two little led bulbs light up the entire yard well enough to see everything in the yard and on the driveway.

The energy use for the year is minimal, something like $2.00 a month. I have it wired into the same line that operates the pump on my in floor heat system, that way if the light is out I know to check the line to the pump.
