So, in honor of our military (which I think I got from the 2016 CMA) I bought these and installed them on our porch. We have a light motion sensor. At first I was wondering if this would work, but it worked, NO PROBLEM! My kids (adults) go out to smoke at night and the green light is actually better than the regular white. I'd guess it's a money saver since it's only 3W, but it's definitely bright enough, but not overly bright.
