Customer Reviews
Very bright for LEDs
These lights were installed at the entrance to our neighborhood to illuminate the signs. They are powered from a solar array and charge controller/lighting controller. We are very pleased with the amount of light, color of the light (warmer than many LEDs), and the very low power consumption.
They have a very wide angle of illumination and are very consistent in intensity across the field. The case does not get hot, looks great, and is of high quality. The amount of light is much more than most LED lights, but still less than many incandescent lights. It appears to be a bit less than a ten watt light. Still, given the power requirements, it is extremely satisfactory.
Only had one problem, the reflectors in both lights were not centered over the LED, causing a cutoff/shading problem. I unscrewed the lights, centered the reflectors, reassembled them, and now they are fine.
Highly recommended.
Decent Lights
I purchased a set of these lights not really sure what to expect. I truly had low expectations for them and I thought that I would be returning them within a week. I was concerned that they would be too weak in light intensity, too white in LED color, and poorly made. I can honestly say that thankfully I was wrong and I am actually quite impressed.
The LED color appears to be a clean natural white, not too tech looking, but it does contrast against traditional halogen and incandescent spotlights. At first I didn't care for the color difference of these lights, but now I actually like the color of the LED spotlights better than the traditional incandescent or halogen units. The lights are mixed in with our incandescent pathway lights and we use these LED spotlights to accent some of the plants and the walls along the house. They also put out a decent amount of light. I would say that the description Amazon has about the lights putting out about an equivalent of a ten watt traditional spotlight is relatively close.
The quality is also somewhat of a surprise. They are metal and quite attractive looking for spotlights. The small size of the fixtures is an added bonus, as they are not noticeable during the day and we have them located on the pathway to our front door where anything would be extremely conspicuous.
I gave the rating of four stars because when the lights first arrived the internal reflectors were not lined up with the LED correctly. It was a simple fix to take off the lens and align the reflector hole with the LED, but as a first impression on quality, it was not a good one.
Overall worth the $45 and I am looking to buy more.
High Quality Landscape Lighting
I ordered my set of Intermatic flood lights May 28,2009. Back then, they only cost me $34.68, I see now they are $45.99. I have purchased many Intermatic landscape lighting products from the Home Depot, and they have been unreliable and flimsy. The ones from Home Depot are made of plastic and cannot even last through one season for me.
I read the reviews prior to purchasing these LED metal flood lights and they seemed good so I tried them out. They are made of very high quality metal, so they will definitely last. I did have a problem with having to adjust one of the reflective cones that focuses the light, but that was easy. All you have to do is unscrew the lens. I thought they would be dim because they are LED, but they are bright. I use them to illuminate a random step I have on my walkway, and they do the job adequately. They are so bright, I get partially blinded from looking directly at them all they way from the street as I am driving home.
I wanted LED lights because I felt guilty about leaving them on for 8 hours a day, but now I feel relieved because LED uses so little electricity. I don't know if I would have spent more than $40 for only two floodlights, but they are quality lights, so you wouldn't be disappointed.
