Review on Onforu 70W Flood Lights Outdoor, 6200LM Exterior Flood Light Fixtures,IP65 Waterproof Super Bright LED Security Light With 3 Adjustable Heads, 6500K White LED Floodlight For Eave, Garden, Garage, Yard by Damon Murray

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Installation a little frustrating, but the light output is excellent

When both 150-watt halogen bulbs failed in my fifteen-year-old backyard light fixture, I decided to replace the entire fixture instead of just the bulbs. Replacing the bulbs would have been significantly cheaper, but I had never been satisfied with the amount of light that I got for the amount of power consumed. I took a gamble that an 80-watt LED fixture could outshine the combined 300 watts from the old dual-lamp halogen fixture, and I was not disappointed. The Onforu fixture with its three adjustable LED panels really lights up my yard, with a much brighter, whiter light than I got from the old, yellowy halogen bulbs.Installing the fixture for an experienced electrician will be a no-brainer, but for a modest handyman such as I it proved a bit of a challenge. The instructions don't perfectly match the fixture, referencing a square metal plate that is not included, but failing to mention the foam insulation ring that is. My daughter noticed the foam ring shown installed in one of the diagrams, so I used that as my guide. With the foam ring in place, the bolt that attaches the fixture to the metal mount would only reach the mounting threads if the metal mount was facing what seemed to me to be backwards. Once installed, the fixture seems sturdy and stable.The fixture includes a card to register it for warranty purposes, providing both an email address and a QR code to scan. The QR code simply takes you to Onforu's Facebook page where you are apparently supposed to search for the specific model that you purchased. I couldn't find mine, but the process didn't seem to match the instructions. I ended up sending an email to the address provided, but I didn't receive a reply or confirmation. It seems like the warranty-registration process could be improved.All in all, I like the build quality of the fixture, and I am extremely satisfied with its light output. The product's weaknesses primarily involve matters of communication, both in the installation instructions and in the warranty-registration process. Those weaknesses can be pretty easily improved, and are secondary to the quality and value of the light fixture itself.

Pros
  • When I take my dog out for the night it's black as pitch and this lights the whole side yard.
Cons
  • They are not very bright at all. It’s worse in the winter months. They do not shine very far either.
