So far, so Good nice white light
This is the second pair of these I have purchased. The first pair replaced a pair of the lights which used the sodium vapor bulbs. The old lights had a funky "yellow" light, these new lights are a nice bright white. The Dusk to Dawn sensors work well, The amount of light is good to accompany an entrance, above a door, etc. Easy to install. I have to be honest. Many of the LED lights I have been installing the last couple of years have begun to fail. Everywhere from one light was one month past the warranty while the other was well within the warranty. Others have lasted longer but I frankly doubt the claims of 50,000 hours. Of the others which have failed, they have been anywhere from 1,000 hours of use to 5,500 hours of use and stages in between. None of those are close to the 50,000 hours these LED companies claim. I have replaced about 20 lights with LED the last two years. I have had 4 of the lights either stop working or "burn out" progressively. Either way, its not good. The good news is they are cheap. Bad news is I hate throwing away an entire fixture because the bulb is burned out but that's what happens with LED lights. I will give these 5 stars because they are relatively well made (compared to competitors) and the price is hard to beat. The light is nice and bright and they are easy to install. Practical reality is I will likely be replacing these again. I would rather pay a little more and get better quality than this race to the bottom in quality that all of the LED light makers in China seem to be on. I will say replacing the sodium vapor lights with these not only brightened the area and the light is nice and white / bright. It also reduced the electrical consumption enough to pay the cost of these lights in 6 months. Given that, if I have to replace these in a year, I will still be money ahead. But I hope the race to cheapen these lights stops soon as they are cutting every corner they can. I have to be honest, I often wonder if these lights will pass a UL certification or similar safety and quality inspection. I genuinely doubt that they would.........and I would rather they be safe than one day, someone be sorry. That's the main reason I hope they stop cheapening these lights.
