Review on LEPOWER 28W Outdoor LED Security Light, 3000LM Dusk To Dawn Flood Lights With Photocell, 5500K White IP65 Waterproof 2 Adjustable Heads For Garage Backyard by Joseph Mannasseh

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good light just some minor install issues.

Ok, install was somewhat easy. Reason I say this is because I thought I had a faulty light as I will explain. As I was installing said light power was off, I am not using the dusk to dawn feature and using the cap cover. After installing the light and turning the power back on I didn't have any light on the outside with the cap over the sensor. So I installed the second light of the same make and model. And still no light. I checked the breaker box and for voltage and those were good. So I undid the light from outside and double checked the wiring. As I turned the light upside down and the photo sensor got more into the darkness of the overhang the light came on. Rotated it back to the normal position and the light went out. Ah, the photosenosor is bad right. But no it's not, it is the little plastic cap covering the sensor, it does not have enough color pigment in the cap to stop light transferring through the cap. So I just used some black electrical tape and covered the sensor and put the cap back on. And guess what, the light works as normal now. My guess is that there was not enough color concentrate added when the caps were made. I say that because I have about 20 years in the plastics industry field. I think that the cap was still semi-translucent and allowing light to come through. That's why only 4 stars instead of 5.
