I have had a few over the years, as a dusk to dawn light I am getting 4-5 years out of them, before the ac-dc adapter dies. One that I bought that was a warm white color the coating on the leds faded and became more bright white, now for my outdoor lights I have LED par30 flood lights about $2.98 each at the local Home Cheepo and fit in to many different housings

I bought 2 of these right before Christmas. Installed them over new years. Have one on back corner of house and one about center on back. Used the 500 watt bulb. Lights up the back yard good enough to see whats back there along the weed line aprox 40yds away. Easy install.

Not flood lights per say but I did replace our old sopt light style motion lights with LED versions.

I am using the 10w versions of them. One is 110v that I have wired to a photocell for dusk to dawn operation. The other is 12v that I have connected to my landscape lighting, also on dusk to dawn. They have both be in operation for a year or so with no issues.

I have 8 of them inside (As shop lights). 14' high around the inside perimeter of a 30'x48' building. 2 more are going outside soon. No problems whatsoever.

I have on of those cheap motion sensor lights with a set of feit par38 daylight bults. The work good at -30 and are bright

Ugh, don't ever use those diode-exposed bulbs. They're as bad as looking into a welding flash.

I'm sorta considering them for shop lights as well.

Well now you've got me thinking about replacing the crappy fluorescent lights in my garage/shop with these. Something to think about.

I came across them with the idea of using them as flood lights on the exterior of my shop/house. Then one of the reviews I read, a guy was lighting a 24x36 with them and I went "Hmmmm...."
