This lights up my life, and backyard.

I received this item free as an Best Buy Vine reviewer and this is my honest review. I only request items I will actually use, and use I do, prior to writing a review.I have two of the older style 2-head halogen flood lights on my house currently. They are installed on the underneath side of my soffits, 2-stories off the ground. Since they are 20 plus feet off the ground, I have not replaced them for years. But I was having my house painted so I decided to upgrade to LED lights as the painter would have ladders up and said he could swap them out. Being that these lights are 20 plus feet in the air, and I’m older and don’t bounce as well as I use to, I took him up on his offer to swap them out.I was impressed with this Onforu LED light. The housing is all aluminum and feels well built. All the hardware that I needed for instillation was provided including a rubber gasket to waterproof the light/box connection. This light is installed on the underneath of my soffit, so it will not be directly exposed to the elements, but I have no worries as the light looks well-built and sealed.This light has 3 independently adjustable "heads” so you can direct light to where you need it. I was able to direct one head downward to the patio below (pictured) while pointing the other two out into the yard (pictured). I live away from town and there is no real light in my backyard, so I rely on floodlight to see what it is out there and to keep an eye on my dogs. I am not disappointed with this light, it is bright. It is a very cool, white light and, though 20 feet above, lights my patio well. The throw into the backyard is good too, much better than the old light it replaced. I have not really utilized the motion detection as I just use the bypass feature when turning these on.I have used every evening for three or so weeks now and I am pleased. Yes, I said "these” as in plural. I was impressed enough with the first one I got for a review that I bought a second one to replace the other light in my backyard. If you need a flexible and well-made LED flood light, this will check the box.As I do at the end of all my reviews, I ask myself if I would actually purchase this item. Yes, I would buy this light, in fact I bought a second one. The first was just that nice.

Pros
  • ‎Touch
Cons
  • The floodlight may attract unwanted attention from potential thieves or vandals, making the outdoor space a more attractive target for criminal activity
