Review on 2-Pack J.LUMI GSS6005 Outdoor LED Spotlights - 5W, 120V AC, 3000K Warm, Metal Ground Stake & 3-Ft Cord With Plug by Mike Cox

Revainrating 2 out of 5

J.LUMI LED outdoor spotlight 5W, 120V AC,.

It's OK. I want to like it, but just can't. This could be a three star rating, however, while will not return it, likely won't purchase again, well, --unless it really holds up. The estimated life of the LED is not provided.It was purchased to replace what was there of another make, that was pretty good. And that "one" was the only that was failing of a few I installed.For me, although is metal, has a light duty feel overall (feels like that brittle "white metal" casting).It comes with a surface mount attached, not the spike. They make this a bit more complicated than is necessary, imo. The spike takes a different size HEX screw (no hex wrench, so have one handy and hope is it's unstated size). Also, there are no instructions concerning/addressing this. The lights power chord was on the high side, so had to flip the light-head to correct this (the other one was correct), --luckily the plug-end threaded through the mounting bracket space and did not have to dissasemble to accomplish correcting this misassembly.Unclear is if the HEX screw should be "tight" or tight and allow the light-head to swivel? There is a washer. So, I tightened the screw finger tight since did NOT have a HEX wrench of its UNSTATED size and figured the head should be able to "swivel", --I guess (?). Otherwise, have a SECOND washer handy since the other surface mount HEX screw is a smaller diameter and its washer will not work to "pack" it out so you can tighten it.I don't know, or see if it is serviceable concerning the LED, or if cost affective as an outdoor light to simply replace it, --as I did in this project. It appears to be enabled to dissasemble. However, the one it replaced appeared that way too, but could not be serviced, only thrown out (wanted to replace the "cheap" LED if possible since the housing and plug was all OK.)I am not sure a conventional ground flood socket with a spike, mounted with a LED Flood Configured LIght may not be as affective (tried one last year and really like it). I had a box of those lights too. So, consider that carefully since comes to about nine dollars + per light as of this purchase.

Pros
  • The warm light helps to create a calming and soothing environment, perfect for outdoor yoga or meditation
Cons
  • The cord may be too thin and easily damaged by outdoor elements
