Its bright, but may not survive florida weather

The light is bright, but i would describe it more as glare. When you look at a typical bulb, the glass has dimples and groves to focus the light. If you look at the picture of this light it is clear. The led's light up and the beam can go anywhere it wants; there is no focus. It is brighter than the light i had before, but because of the way the lights are attached I can't maneuver the lights around the downspout from the rain gutters like i was able to do with the dual head light fixture that was there before since each light was independent of the other. And it is a shotgun of brightness. You may end up lighting up your neighbors yard or house if you are close enough, whether they like it or not. This is a triple head light, but the 2 smaller outer heads hang off the middle head. Being plastic it is easily moved even when the adjustment knobs are locked down. It does have a wide sweep of adjustment, but i would have preferred each head to be independently attached to the base with a stronger arm each. I suspect a strong wind storm will just sit there wiggling or shaking it back and forth until it snaps off from the weight of 2 lights hanging off a single light on a single small plastic arm. The base - that's a whole other deal. The whole plastic unit attaches to a metal plate via a single hex screw. The plate has the typical electric light fixture holes, but the light itself attaches to the plate via a single narrow screw in the middle. So if you can imagine it, when you attach the plate to whatever (wall or electrical box) there is a seam there, now the light itself has to attaches to the plate with another seam. Each seam must be sealed against rain. It only comes with 2 gaskets for 2 individual lights, so you gotta come up with some way to weatherproof the additional seams. If you are replacing a light, odds are the existing seal will tear as you remove the old light. Gaskets are cheap, they should come with 4 total instead of 2 saving you the car trip to the hardware store. Another gotcha is the light base is bulky with a small pocket to fit a small amount of flexible cable with wire nuts. Solid copper cable will need to coaxed. It is >>not<< hollow like typical light bases giving you plenty of room for cabling and wire nuts. The electronics is encased in the base. They do provide these low profile connectors, but if you have a large wad of cabling or solid copper you better get an outdoor box to mount it to, which will get you the additional gaskets. If you are going to use the plate to mount to a wall directly, you better have somewhere else for the spare cable to go and buy some silicone.update -- 7/26/2022. It has survived the Florida weather. The only thing I wish is the lights could be separated a little more. Still bright and all LED's working
