Can this be used with an outdoor flood light

You could, but I would not use it in areas exposed to the elements. It may be fine, but it does not feel like it is made to be water proof.

i have been using several of the Philips led bulbs above and have had good luck with them. They are rated 'wet location' but some led flood outdoor lamps are rated 'damp location' which is not as high a rating for outdoor use with the possibility of direct rain.

It is similar to an incandescent flood, but not as bright as the incandescent 150 watt flood. I use them for outdoor lighting around the house and they are just fine, and cheep too!

I don't understand. Explain how you would put this into a flood light sensor. Which sensor won't work, your existing one? This is made to support only one light. It sounds like you have an existing flood light at has a sensor that doesn't work any more. If you can activate that original system to remain on all the time then you could screw this device into an existing light socket and it should work. I don't know if this device is water proof, you may need to shield it from the weather.

Hi Mike- Thanks for the question. It is a good question and we get asked it a lot. If you planned to use the flood light in an area where there could be people lingering around, I can't tell you that there isn't risk of someone taking it. Check out the F108-2R that we sell. It's the same price but can be mounted. It actually looks more commercial as well. We have installed it for commercial signs. We used 4" x 4" posts and drove it into the ground and mounted the light to that. There is 9' of wire going to the solar panel. We sell a bracket that would work, or you could come up with something on your own that many people do. If you have more specific questions about your application, you're welcome to message me directly. Thanks!

Yes, as long as the diodes are not directly open the rain of water from above. Water from below (such as rain on wood or other support that the LED lights are mounted on) does not com into contact with the base connectors at the bottom of the LED "Bulb".

No, it would not be bright enough. I bought two as flood lights and they hardly light 10 feet ahead

Short answer is no; however, you can put dark tape or blackout the motion sensor to effectively make the flood operate like a normal light on a switch.

You need to make sure you get outdoor rated floodlight bulbs. (120W Max PAR38) CFLs are not a good choice for things that are on/off constantly.

No I am using it for an Invisible Dog Fence and it will be buried and attached to a low voltage signal generator where the dog has a receiver on it's collar. My dog will not be out in a lighting storm. I am not adding Lighten protection. Dan

Yes, I use it in exactly that application. It doesn't rain much in my area, but I trust the claims that the lights are weatherproof.

We use it as a spot light for outdoor Christmas decorations. We've had lots of problems with other types of flood lights, but we've been very satisfied with this one.

Use with LED floods is the reason I purchased this item, but have not yet installed or personally verified. However, according to an engineer who works directly with Cooper Industries on lighting projects, he claims that it will work with LED bulbs.

It will work outdoors. I am using at least 4 as accent light outside with the light fixture below Paradise GL22724BK Low-Voltage Cast-Aluminum 20-Watt Halogen Floodlight with Glass Lens, Black Hope it helps.

I have mine working 4 outdoor flood lights which are florescent...much less than 500 watts total. Works very well.

I suppose you can but I would not recommend as the lumination is too low for a flood light.

No. It is neither water or weather-proof. The light is portable with a self-adhering clip. I wouldn't even recommend using the light while in the company of rain or bad weather. Again, it is NOT water or weather-proof. Good Luck :)
