Review on CINOTON 26W LED Wall Pack Light With Dusk To Dawn Sensor, 3000LM[100-277Vac/160W HID/HPS Equiv.] IP65 Waterproof Outdoor Security Flood Lighting For Yard Patio Barn Porch 3000K-Warm White 2 Pack-Black by Troy Palmer

Bright AF but emits extremely strong amounts of VHF/UHF RFI

I bought these to replace a single UtiliTech LED wall pack that started to die after 6 years of reliable use. Since I only need one I figured I'd have a spare once one of these two CINOTON LED Wall Packs decides to fail later on down the road. Installation was very easy and took about 30 minutes or less, including knocking out the punch-outs. You'll want to do this with a hammer and flat blade screw driver. It takes a considerable amount of force to remove these, work your way around the edges of the punch out until it snaps out. If you have a standard wall junction box like I do you can reuse any existing fixture bracket screws to attach this to the wall. Build quality is excellent compared to the all plastic UtiliTech.This thing is bright, really bright AF, and seems almost three times brighter than the old 12 watt wall pack it replaced. The color temperature is listed as 5000K but I don't seen any blue hue whatsoever, it's pretty much brilliant pure white.like looking into the core of the sun.Now for the BIG negative. These emit a tremendous amount of VHF/UHF RFI. I cut the cable several years ago and use a combination of online streaming and over-the-air broadcast TV with an outdoor antenna. My bad luck would have it my outdoor antenna is about 15 feet above this CINOTON LED wall pack and while it's on it nearly obliterates a very strong VHF local channel, as well as two other weaker UHF channels. The fixture IS grounded, but once the weather gets better I'm going to see if I can get a better ground to help reduce the RFI. If you don't feel this issue will effect your installation then by all means go for these fixtures, they are well worth the money in terms of brightness and construction. Otherwise look elsewhere for a fixture you don't need to take a hammer to for installation and is easily returnable.
