Led Flood Light 2 Pack 10W 12V Ac or Dc Warm White Outdoor Lights 750lm 80w Halogen Bulb Equivalent Black Case for Trees Yard

I installed 3 of these on my shed, connected to a 12v deep cycle marine battery which is powered by a 100w solar panel. My charge controller indicates 0.2-0.3amps consumption per light so they're definitely not 10w. Still, they're bright and have been reliable for the last month suffering through direct sunlight and snow alike. I also have all three hooked up to a microcontroller 4 channel relay board and made a little android app to toggle them on and off when my dogs go outside. I stress tested the heck out of the system with hundreds of on and offs in an hour without issue. I'm extremely happy for the price and they're adequate for my lighting needs. I'd say they have an effective range of about 15 feet and anything after that remains mostly dark in my yard. Thinking of getting one or two for camping needs, could easily sling a bungee behind the bracket and strap to a tree. I have an 18ah battery and another solar panel that would likely keep my camp indefinitely. These are NOT whitish at all, the light output is much more yellow than I expected. Not a problem... kind of a nice change from the blue LED solar lights I have everywhere else in my yard. No issues connecting, I was worried I'd get a mislabeled/misshipped unit (or...3 wrong units) based on some reviews, but all were 12v, fired up instantly, and were a piece of cake to install.

I bought 2 of these to light up a driveway (from a fence) and they are very bright with a good 3600K semi-warm light (the 6000K in the description is wrong). I am using them with a small 12V AC adapter that supports 60W. Yes, you can use 12V AC - they can work with AC or DC. 12V AC is an advantage because a 110V AC to 12V AC converter is small and inexpensive vs. one that produces 12V DC (which needs big diodes and a large filter cap). Light output is very good, with nice beam spread and the more traditional color temp makes them pleasing to the eye. The casing is metal with screws and silicone seals. I would suggest checking all screws are tight - I had one unit with a loose screw, which could have let water in. My only wish is that the mount allowed for all axis positioning. Because these only can go in the Y direction (up and down angle), I needed to create a shim to angle the light where I wanted it. Be aware that the thickness of the mounting metal is quite thin.

Seems like a decent value for $9 shipped. Mine came with markings on the box indicating 80-230vAC input... CAUTION, mine was direct drive, no driver board at all, just wires straight to the LED chip. It had a Red(almost brown looking) and White wire. I opened it up and found the wires were directly soldered to the LED emitter, the Redish/brown one to the + side. POWER- I hooked this up to my bench top power supply and set the voltage to 13volts, the emitter drew 450mA. I tried a range of 9-16 volts, it was pretty dim at 9v and reached its peak around 13v. I found a cheap switching power supply rated at 12v/550mA and wired it up, it works great. According to my measurement, this is only about 6 watts, not 10w. It doesn't seem to produce any heat during operation. Brightness- I have a semi-calibrated light box that I feel is a pretty good estimation, I'd say mine is putting out about 175 lumens. It is a nice warm color and the flood is very wide, even, and free of artifacts. It's a nice amount of light although not exactly blinding. BUILD- I cant say if the hardware will rust, I just got mine. The body is sturdy enough, the seams seem to be sealed well with silicone orings and the glass looks to be quite thick. I'd say for the price it is built very well. For reference, I've attached a few pictures of the construction and two pictures of our rec-room in the pitch dark only illuminated by one of these flood lights. I would buy more of these, I'm very pleased for $9 shipped.

Very bright and well made

*3 year update: lights still work great. Went to deep cycle 100AH AGM battery (overkill, 50AH+ is all that's needed) and 100 watt renergy solar panel and traveler charge controller as I found I needed more power during winter to keep from over draining the battery.* My yard needed light, and my shed needed lighting/power. So I used these parts below to make a solar powered shed. My 2 yard lights run dusk to dawn (car battery handles that 20 watt load without stressing it) and light up WELL an area 20' out from shed, with enough light to see a person/animal another 30' at least. Been going for a month now with no issues even with my girls sleeping in the shed multiple nights using interior lights and power inverter. I'm gonna copy this for my 12' enclosed trailer next.

Quality is not as pictured not the same light ( false advertising) screws are not (stainless like advertised purchased from different company before was better lights they lie for this product ! Do not buy these not water proof either !

UPDATE (Nov/2017): the original 3 I bought are still working fine. However, I ordered 5 more and 2 of these are defective. One pulls just 2-3 W, the other pulls 15-18 W (too much power) and blinks. The other 3 are pulling just 6W at 12 V and barely reach 8 W at 18 V (the voltage at which I will use them). I kept the 3 (8 W is close enough) and returned the other two. The moral of the story: CHECK HOW MUCH POWER THEY ARE REALLY USING. Overall a solid product with an internal CL6807-based switchmode current regulator set for 0.64 A. Well constructed. The only problem (for which I deduct 1 star) is that with the LEDs used, the voltage applied should be larger than 12 V. At 12 V, the LEDs themselves receive 10.6V at 0.4A (power = 4.2 W only), and the system uses 0.4 A (supply power = 4.8 W, efficiency = 88%, not bad!). Raising the power supply to 18.4 V (a typical laptop power source) raises the values to 11.4 V at 0.61 A for the LEDs (power = 7 W) and supply current of 0.42 W (power supplied = 7.7 W, efficiency = 91%, quite good!!!). So, if you want to use the system and get your 10W worth of light you should use an 18.4V supply (you will get 7 W which is close enough to 10 W). But if you use a 12 V supply you will get a much dimmer light.

I was replacing some "down" lights under my eaves that were small halogen lamps running on a 12v timer/photocell and thought that these might work as I wanted to use these as "up" lighting. I used all of my existing wiring and controls hoping to simplify the installation and shorten the wiring needed. After removing all of the old lights from the eaves, I installed these about 18" above the ground, screwed into the bricks and spliced the lamp wires into the old wiring. The lights worked out perfectly except for the old wires, which I found out were somewhat corroded (Black wire). They still work, but I don't think are getting full power. I should have discarded all of the old wiring as it was over ten years old and replaced it with new. I did add a couple of lights since these pull very little current as the old ones were 60w each. All new connections were soldered and wrapped well with electrical tape so I think that it will all last a while. They have been working dusk to dawn now for around six months without a failure and I am very happy with them. Update 3/29/16. - Out of eight lights installed, two or three have failed and have had to be replaced even though they state a life of 50,000 hours. I would like to only replace the broken part rather than the whole light, but I have found that would cost more than replacing the whole unit.

I use this outside my trailer clipped to my awning. It's bright enough but not obnoxious and being warm it doesn't attract bugs perfect for the use very pleased

works well,

Relatively solid lights, the bracket is a bit flimsy though. Light is fairly pleasing and I am using them for lights in an off grid chicken barn.

Lumière trop Jaune et pas assez blanche

So far only basic testing for a solar panel/light application that is not installed yet. But seems to be performing properly through testing so far......
