Review on CINOTON 50W Outdoor LED Flood Lights, 7000LM[300W HID/HPS Equiv.] IP65 Waterproof Security Wall Lighting Fixture With 180°Knuckle For Court Patio Garden Workshop Garage 5000K Daylight UL Listed 1 Pack by Mack Douglas

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very bright: my feedback

I replaced two 500W halogen floodlights with 2 of these LED models. My lights are located under the eave of my second story home. Installation was straightforward if you've ever done this yourself. Bear in mind, no mounting plate is included. You will need some type of metal round or rectangular mounting plate that has a 1/2" NPT threaded hole. No wire nuts included either and instructions are pretty much non existent. This is like an OEM version the way I see it but that's what I expected. My rating is as follows:For:1. Lights are very bright and light up my back yard as well as the 500W halogen lamps did.2. Unit is built well. Housing is metal and somewhat heavy.Against:1. Description says that there are 84 LED elements. Actually there are only 55. I contacted the seller and after they contacted the factory it was determined that they are using more efficient LED's now and that the lumen output has not decreased. I was offered a refund if I wanted but decided to keep them since they are bright enough.2. I'm not sure if they are meant to be inverted for mounting but that's what I did. There is some sort of round cap on the bottom side (now my top since they are inverted) that appears to be possibly a vent/drain? Anyway I hope that it will not allow water to enter. Under the eave it will be protected I believe.

Pros
  • The 180° knuckle allows you to adjust the angle of the light as needed, providing maximum coverage and flexibility
Cons
  • The fixture might not be compatible with all types of audio and visual systems
