LED Outdoor Security Floodlight - Can these be switched so they are not on all night? How do they hold up under tons of rain? I guess that was not bright as they are motion sensored. The rain question is still valid.

What is not noted in the description is that the unit cannot be mounted to a surface mounted round or rectangular box. It can only be mounted to a recessed "new construction" box. The unit also does not come with weather proofing gasket, so I question whether it will hold up in the rain.

My lights don't show until it is dark.. and then it's great.. I don't see how they could be adjusted.. the glow on the lights aren't THAT bright, where you wouldsee them for sure at dusk... there is a nice glow though.. Mine have been hanging up for a month and a 1/2 now.. and I still love them.. been rained on.. been blown all over by the wind... watered on.. still holding shape and brightness.. love them.

Hello, Not sure I can help you. We have 2 of these lights each on a separate switch. I generally don't leave either one on because we have enough light in our park. If I quickly flip the switch twice the light goes manually. They do work as motion sensor lights if switched into the proper mode. We do like these lights and have LED bulbs in them. Take Care.

Yes. I have had them attached to the top of a carport for some months, and the rain (we get a lot) does not seem to bother them at all. A downside, though, is that one of each pair I got never worked, while the other worked fine. I had to buy two pair to get a single good pair of lights.

I haven't had any problems driving in the rain with them, I have actually submerged them to load a boat on my trailer and they are still working fine. they are also really bright, I'm very happy with them, only problem I had was the plate holder was cheap plastic and broke so I mounted the plate to the fender but the lights are great

I've bought this light and have them (2) under a porch roof. It does not get direct rain which I felt comfortable with that. It works great. I really like these lights. I've had them for over a year and very happy with them. Worth the money as they aren't that expensive compared to what you could pay for other lights.

Yes, at my place they do appear to stay on all night but never stayed up the entirety of the night to really check. One year roughly now on the current batteries and still going. They appear easy to replace. I believe there is a switch in the back to turn them off if I recall correctly. It provides nice accent or local lighting but don't expect it to light up the entire yard like a spot light.

They are outdoor lights, if that is what you are asking. Mine continues to work despite the rain.

I use LED flood lights and they work fine for me. I use the day-light type.

Jim,Based on the design observed, there maybe a question on whether the motion sensor output is compatible with the LED power supply in the flood light. The motion sensor output switch may be solid state and may not be able to control the power supply correctly based on the current draw and power factor of the LED power supply. You need to check with the motion sensor manufacturer to determine if it is able to handle the LED light load. Unfortunately there is little technical information available for the LED lamp.

Ramon -- these are designed for outdoors, so yes, they are rain resistant. However, we do not have them with a motion sensor -- just the day/night sensor. -- Barry - Brodwax on Amazon

They are advertised as underwater lights. We bought 2 for wet outside water under waterfall not submerged. They have a short pigtail so I wouldn't go too deep. That aside ours have worked perfectly and no complaints.

We've had our Phillips LED light hanging out in Colorado weather for over a year. The light performs flawlessly in rain, ice and snow. Our son has had the same model in an exterior security light for a few years with no problems. I think the LED bulbs will perform for several more years.

They do not appear to be rated for outdoor use. However, I am successfully using two other LED bulbs in outdoor locations that are not rated for outdoors either. Neither bulb is directly exposed to rain, and both face downward. One is underneath a large soffit area, and one is installed in a "barn light" type hooded fixture. Hope this helps!

I will echo Rob's response: Owned & installed for 6 months. Working as expected: bright, high-quality outdoor floodlight.

Hi Judi, yes these lamps could be used in a dusk/dawn assembly. But will not work well with dimmer switches. I have never used these when they will be exposed to rain, but have them in glass housings outside. If your lamps aren't getting soaked in the rain, then yes, I would not hesitate to use them

Yes, just be sure that the bulb is not exposed directly to the rain. Ideally, it needs to be behind a screen or in an enclosed fixture. If the bulb gets submerged in water, there is a chance it might not keep functioning. You can check this PAR30, it's more intended for outdoor applications, and this one is really of high quality: Triangle Bulbs (Pack Of 4) 12-Watt (75-Watt) PAR30 LED Flood Light Bulb, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,
