Review on 2 Pack 50W LED Flood Light Outdoor - 4500Lm, IP66 Waterproof Plug In Fixture 6500K Super Bright Security For Yard Garden Basketball Court Garage by Noah Warneking

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good replacement for halogens in my shop work light. Great price. Power rating is accurate

I replaced two 500 Watt halogen lights on a work light tripod with this pair of lights. They run very cool, of course. The halogens they replaced were extremely hot and ruined more than one thing in my garage. In contrast to the halogens, the LED beams are very broad and smooth, without the light and dark patches of the halogen and the safety cage. Using the hardware already on my work light, they bolted on in about 30 seconds. The built-in cords are a big bonus. Sometimes I aim one at the ceiling to provide more distributed light across my project. I won't worry about bulbs again. I have replaced perhaps 8 bulbs PLUS a bulb holder in the halogens.The power rating is accurate, (118 Watts for the 60 Watt pair) which is actually a very GOOD sign, since the brightness is probably accurate, too. Comparison: I ordered a separate 500W LED flood (different brand) that consumes only 348W (I measured it), which probably implies that its brightness is much lower than promised. I will be sending that one back.The 5000K is a cooler light spectrum, without getting too blue, and I might have preferred 4000K. These are 6,500 lumens each, which is lower than the theoretical 10,000 lumen output of the 500 Watt halogens they replaced, but I don't mind, especially since I can place them closer to my work without setting them ablaze. You can pay a lot more to get a brigher pair of floods, but I don't think you need to. This is a cheaper alternative than buying a new LED work light.One minor drawback is that I can't tilt them down more than about 10 degrees, but if I adjust the tripod itself a little lower, it works fine, and since the beams are so broad, there are no downward shadows from the housing.

Pros
  • The fixtures have a sleek and modern design that complements any outdoor space
Cons
  • Unsuitable for wet locations
