LLT LED Compact Floodlight with Arm SMD Outdoor Landscape Security Waterproof 30W 5000K (Daylight)

I love having spotlights on my house and have 7 mounted to the peaks of my Cape Cod and garage, all on one switched circuit. They were all mounted via ½” threaded connections to waterproof surface mount boxes. The problem was they were all 150/200W halogens and 90W PAR38’s.While they had advantages – instant on, bright, cheap, good color temp, they also had disadvantages – frequent bulb failure requiring a 28’ ladder climb, high current draw. The disadvantages drove me to look for a good replacement which early on only meant CFL and they didn’t make sense.After spending a lot of time searching for a comparable LED flood, this one was the best I could find because it met the following requirements: LED, waterproof, ½” conduit connection (many had an SO/SJ cord tail), internal P/S, priced right. I purchased 6 – 5, 30W and 1, 50W.Here’s my observations –Pros:-They’re constructed of cast and machined aluminum - quite solid.-The powder coat appears well applied.-They have a very well designed ½” conduit connection stub. It can be removed and mounted tightly in an electrical box. It has an O-ring seal at the thread shoulder. (I added a knockout nut on the inside after I tightened it to give it an extra level or security)- Once installed in the box, the fixture can then be mounted to the connection stub (it has another O-ring where the stem of the fixture mates to it) and rotated in any direction. – In my case left/right.- The fixture has a very sturdy articulation joint (The screw actually looks a bit oversized) allowing it to move/rotate – in my case forward/backward-Very low current draw (duh) – total current draw now is equal to ONE of the previous halogen bulbs- As I said above, 150/200W halogens were replaced and the luminous flux from the LEDs is very sufficient if not a hair better.Cons:-The wires ARE too short, especially the ground wire. I kick myself now for not checking to see if the case was bonded to the ground wire, which if one wanted, could use the case ground to the box. I suspect it is but I wire nut-ed on a longer ground anyway and made the ground connection anyway. The white and black are just long enough – but could be a bit longer.-The 30W version I received have about a ½ second delay when switched on. The 50W comes on instantly. Not a big deal to me.-They only come in Brown - I would have preferred white to match the house fascia – but not a huge deal. I contemplated painting them but quickly woke up.-They are heavy – probably due to all the aluminum casting – a bit too heavy for my taste. Not really a problem but it makes wiring them while hanging onto that 28’ ladder a bit more tricky.-Color temp is very white – 5000k. I prefer warmer (indoors of course) but for floods the color works fine.Comments:- Many negative reviews noted the screws holding the articulation arm to the housing failed – I did not find any issues with them. I will concede the unit is heavy and if the head was struck with enough force it’s possible the screws could strip out of housing. I checked them and felt any force sufficient to strip out the screws would be far from normal.- Many of the negative reviews noted the housing seal failed and moisture entered the units. I carefully checked this and cannot understand how this could happen: after removing the bezel and it’s screws I found there is a “tub” the guts sit in and the screws fit into the housing casting outside of this tub. The glass is very well adhered to the rim of the tub with a well applied clear silicone bead. There is no way to enter the tub without cutting the silicone bead. I see no way for water to enter between the glass and the housing given the integrity of the silicone. I will concede that all of mine are mounted vertically (head up) and are all clear of moisture after having installing them in October of 2016. My humble opinion is that those experiencing moisture infiltration may have them mounted in such a manner that moisture can enter through the articulating arm or the box itself - the arm, or united mounted upside down. But that’s just a guess on my part.-I thought the reflector was a bit shallow and might throw light too wide but after using them they cast light quite nicely.Bottom line:Given the price and the functionality of these fixtures, they are turned out to be an excellent and better replacement for my halogen floods. I would buy again and I recommend them.3/19 UPDATE: Two of theses light failed - one 30W and the 50W. Keep in mind that we do not switch these on very often but recently I had a BSA troop over doing some scout stuff and the lights were on for an hour or so. Very frustrated that I have two dead fixtures. Mostly because I have to climb a ladder to replace these - something I thought LED floods would make obsolete. Failing after 28 months of intermittent use is disappointing. Furthermore, I reached out to the seller twice with no response back.For my troubles and the failed product I have to shave off two stars.

I really want to like these lights. They are very bright, and seem to be well made. However, I have had problems getting a good light from Amazon.I originally ordered 2 of these lights for installation on the back of my house. These lights are black, and my house is brown, so before I painted them, I hooked them up temporarily to a cord to test them out. The first light blew the GFCI outlet when I plugged it in. I tested it with a meter and determined that the neutral was grounded. That is not good, and will NOT work on a circuit protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter. The second light tested good, so I decided to return the defective light and order another. In 2 days I received the new light, only it wasn't what I ordered. I ordered the 50W light, and they sent a 10W light, so back to Amazon IT went. Third time is the charm, right? Well, not exactly. When I received the third light, I immediately tested it for improper wiring before wiring it to 110v. Everything appeared to be good. When I plugged this light in, I found that there were multiple LEDs that were not lighting.Tonight I returned this fixture and found that Amazon is currently out of stock on the 50W version. I plan on trying one more time to get a good light. If the next one doesn't work as it should, I'll return them both and change my rating to 1 star.The comments about the wire length are dead-on. The ground wire for the last light that I purchased is only a little over an inch long. I could barely get a small wire-nut on it to test it out with my test-cord.The light itself seems to put out very close to what my 500W halogen does. I went outside at night with the LED and the Halogen, and they both illuminated the same area very closely. Of course the LED being 5000K was a much whiter light, so it's hard to compare actual output.I hope the next one works, because they do seem like they will be a good product if I can only get 2 that work properly.

This light was a perfect replacement for a 500-watt halogen. I was very concerned about the amount of light this would put out but as soon as I had it mounted my worries were gone. This is very crisp white light and is easily just as bright as the 500-watt halogen that broke on me. For cheaper than it would cost to replace that and at 10% of the power consumption I couldn’t be happier. Now when my wife leaves it on for hours I don’t have to force myself to not mention it! The light itself is very heavy. You will also need a base to screw the light arm into which then attaches to the box on your home. Make sure you have good screws and a well secured electrical box.Update 1/19: After about a year and a half the light stopped working. Out of nowhere the light became very dim, flickering and most of the led's were burnt out. Light was used daily to let dogs out but was never left on more than a few minutes so in a year and a half it was not on for a significant amount of time. The light does not appear to have gotten water inside of it.Update 3/19: I did reach out to the manufacturer, whom sent me to the seller on amazon, for a warranty return. The seller on amazon replied very quickly simply asking for a picture. Once sent, the reached out letting me know they were sending me a replacement. 5 stars for customer service and standing behind the two year warranty. I would rest assured the light will be covered for two years. That being said, I would still worry about the longevity of the light. Especially if it fails after the warranty.

It’s good

These lights appear to be built really well and seem good value for the money. My previous lights allowed water in, so time will tell if these flood lights are better. Good brilliance and spread. Unfotuneately, one light failed after approx 12 months (water infiltration). Amazon accepted it as a return with refund, but on checking, the price had gone up to $80 for a replacment. These lights have a 2 year warranty, I may have been better off to contact the manufacturer?

Lights yard well

I bought 6 of these light They are garbage, of the 6 only 2 are still working. Do not buy these lights
