LED Outdoor Flood Lights

[ctfjr]

I really want to replace the existing halogen lights I have around the garage. I am looking to install 3-4 fixtures and from what I read 30 watt units should be large enough.

Now comes the problem. I don't want to spend $300/unit for commercial fixtures but every time I think I've found an inexpensive (~$30) one, some of the reviews are really horrible.

Has anyone here installed something as described and are happy with them?

I bought an LED flood light with motion sense from Costco last fall and it seems to work just fine. It looks kinda goofy, but it works.

I bought 3 of those about 1 1/2 years ago. Installed 2 outside and one inside the garage. The one inside the garage would come on when you entered the garage. The 2 outside ones still work fine. The one inside the garage died. I took it back to Costco without a receipt and they gave me my money back. Costco does not sell them anymore that I know of. Not very good quality, but you cannot beat the Costco return policy.

That thing is sketchy as hell.

242 lm per watt? lol they can dream on.

Maybe replace a 50w halogen, if it works at all.

I've got a few of these. 8 months in and working much better than the last $80 LED I bought from Lowes.

I bought this version to replace the exterior halogen on my enclosed trailer...

Not quite as bright as the halogen, but the energy savings on the generator was worth it...

I got one of those when they where $120.

Been working great since Oct. 2013, EXTREMELY bright and has the best motion sensor I've encountered on a light.

Good to know. My last LED motions would eventually disco light. Very annoying. I'd return them but eventually they stopped carrying them for obvious reasons.
