I tried some "dome" LED lights that left ridiculous little bulls-eye patterns all over the side of my house. Do these make a pattern?

I've not had any problems at all. But I don't have them touching my home. they hang from my balcony railing. I love them. They don't get hot either.

No they don't. The only thing that I could possibly find negative about these... the strands that drop from the main line (to fom the actual icecycle), are very long. That being said, I love these lights, I've had them 2 years now and have had absolutely NO PROBLEMS !

My lights did come with those strange connectors. They are made such that you can strip the house wires and stick them into those connectors. My house wiring was not the correct gauge, so I cut the strange connectors off, striped the wires, and used wire nuts. Apparently the connectors are made for 14 gauge wire and my house wiring in that area is 12 gauge. Other than that little snag, installation went smooth and I have been very pleased with the lights.

Tina, this item we returned and went with standard white outdoor Christmas lights(they where being used around a pool fence) The only problem we had with these is that the LEDs are in a tube and we didn't have control of the direction of the light(part faced out,down,up,and back) I hope this helps

Yes, however I do not suggest these as they have a high current draw. Maybe replacing the bulbs with LED bulbs would correct this. They have excellent beam patterns however!

I have the same situation and I have not found a solution other than to place them at opposite ends of the house and use a different lighting set for one of the closets.

I bought a set of 2. At first I didn't notice, but after about a week or two at night after I installed them, I noticed that the two light have vey different beam spot sizes, or flood patterns...or whatever you want to call the illumination pattern. I measured them, and one is close to 8 degrees, and the other is close to 30 degrees. The 8 does look like a spot type. With some small amount of outside the spot light beam. The 30 is more or les a flood type light. No real focused beam. Still seems to look as bright when doing the stare test, or the 'dark garage wall test. I'm trying to contact the vendor and ask them. FYI - *** When I've looked at other sellers of LED moto lights web sites, the majority of them do mention that they sell a spot version, and a flood version.( for the same lamp type) And if you don't specify exactly what two you want in your order, they sys they will ship you one of each. That may what happened to me.

I think you could use the LED ones if you can find them with the right base. Its candelabra if I remember. I have switched many of my lights to LED's. These work pretty good on my veranda coming on when some one enters the area and staying on until they leave. Don't mess with the factory settings they seem to be set just right, if you do be careful as the little knob that you use to adjust sensitivity with seems to be fragile and i thought I broke it inside by turning it to far, but it seems to be working fine. The other light I just left alone and its perfect. They are not overly bright either. No more having to figure out which switch in a bank of 5 is the right one.

Yes. Poor quality control though. Some are assembled wrong. So if you find the ends will not go together. They were put on with the cord ran through them wrong. You have to take it apart or send it back. I had to send 4 of my ten back. Then had to send 2 of those back. They are nice and hold up well though. Free shipping and returns so I did not care about the issues. Installed LED's. Look awesome. Lots of compliments.

If these are the ones with blue on one side and yellow on the other, I really don't like them as well as just plain yellow ones. These you have to shape and they are so sticky. Not sure if the lights will interfer with them. Sorry I can't give you a definite answer on that.

Sorry, I don't know, I got them for a different purpose than setting up those kind of lights.

There is an array of LEDs on each side of the MonkeyLight - the patterns are a mirror-image on the right and left sides.

There are LEDs on the four sides and the top. So the light appears rather omni-directional. I disagree with D. Gonzales answer that these provide little light. They put out more light than the 4 watt bulbs I was using.

They appear to be alright with a spot but I am only using them with bright LED spots. Sorry. I don't mind testing it out though.

Pretty much, you just spread them out as much as you want. Ends up like a smi circle. I have had lights like this in my home for over 20 years. Still love them. Bought these as a gift. A lot cheaper then the ones I have, but just as beautiful. Hope this helps?

Sorry I didn't get back to you any sooner. Yes you can use your own dome lights but there is not much room. The cross beams on the top are plastic so they could potentially melt. I have 2 mini domes (day & night lights) and the Exo Terra Dimming fixture for the UBV lights on the top. Seems to be working O.K. Pretty nice set up but is only a temp fix for my ever growing Green Iguana. Hope this helps-Take care!

mine work as dome light and map light independently . try flipping end to end and adjusting your dimmer switch.

that's how I use mine. it lights up the side of the house has multi color patterns but it has a very intense light if you look directly at it. if it shines in Windows it could be a little bit glaring.
