This light is garbage! I got 8 months out of it and then it just quit working....I'm lucky it didn't burn my garage down! Took it apart and well look at the photos.

    I M happy
    Replacing the older less efficient fixture with a new one was only a few dollars more than replacing the bulb in the old fixture. The new fixture is brighter, rated far more energy efficient and only took about 20 minutes to install.

    ............and then there was light!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    My husband put up this light for security and it is amazing.I love having my yard all lit up and being able to see what is lurking out there where before it was to dark to see anything. They say that lights deter burglars. I hope this is true.I feel safer just knowing this.It illuminates my warning sign as you can see in my photo.

    So far It's all good.
    5 people on my street had this light so i decided to get one. Had it for a month. It puts out more light than i thought, that's a good thing. Have not had any issues with it so far. Dust to Dawn feature is working nicely. Exactly what i was looking for.

    complete waste of money
    light "burned out" in less than a month. took it down and inspected only to find cold solder joints on the circuit board. fixed the board and tested before re-installing. once again the light stopped working in less than a month. took it down again and inspected the internals and found no issues this time. tested and it worked fine on the bench but not wasting my time to re-install it. you get what you pay for, i guess.

    Good Lighting For the Price
    I will begin replacing my high pressure 70 watt sodium lights with these, as the sodium lights fail. I find that the light quality is much better than the yellow sodium lights and since I have 8 security cameras, the true color is displayed and recorded. The 65 watt fluorescent is about the same light as the 70 watt sodium, but better quality. I must say that the globe and reflector is kind of flimsy, so don't mount it where branches can hit it. Also, use flat washers when mounting the aluminum housing to your structure for a better anchoring. The price is very reasonable at about half the cost of the sodium, so I bought three to start

    Great product, defective part
    Received this as a gift, installed unit and it failed after one month, not wanting to go through the hassle of getting another one, I dis-assembled my unit, did some research and found the high voltage chip to be defective, replaced chip and it has been working great. lights up large area, unit is even better when attached to optional extension arm.

      Bright , easy install , works great
      Only gave it a good rating since I have not used it but a day so no info on if it will last long . The lens has a very thin aluminum base . You will need 4 1/2" washers to put on each side before you screw it down or the screws will tear up the aluminum . If you do not then I bet the first big wind blows it off. The light is very bright and covers a real good area . Comes on quickly and stays on all night . Looks good on the side of the house . I am going to buy another for the front . Quite happy with this light so far . I would recommend it but as I said I have not used it long but for the price I think it is worth a try .

                  Bought two of these. work great.
                  I've had these installed on our farm for about 2 years and they work great. if they're not working for you, you either have not wired them up right or there's something wrong with a bulb. Can't really blame the fixture
