I want use these to light up a driveway for people - are these bright enough? Replacing dual light 110V 60W flood

I used two of these to replace a 100 watt incandescent flood light that lights our front door. I was surprised with the brightness of these fixtures. Npt knowing the layout of the driveway, I would say that either two or four of these fixtures would be great.

this light is more of a spot (pin point) light than a flood light (area). in terms of brightness I think u can using enough of these lights.

i would think they should work out just fine for what your looking for them to do.And again remember you can always send them back if your not pleased with them after you set them up

Probably not. I use mine to highlight a palm and a couple of crape myrtles and they're more than adequate for that. I'm assuming you'd be mounting on the house to illuminate the drive and these might do OK for 20 feet or so, but not too much past that.

I believe they would be bright enough, however, I'd be somewhat concerned with the beam width. These lights have a beam width much more narrow than a "flood" light.

You would have to check the lumen ouput over the area of lighting9photo metric data)Most likely not but you could use 4 and probabbly come close.

Yea pretty much. They are only 55 watt so they're not as bright as you would think and the beem pattern is weird its sorta flat and spread out. The bulbs are h3 so I upgraded to 100 watt bulbs and use them for reverse lights. Also they are plastic and sorta cheap but are fine for what im doin

It is not super bright. I would guess on the lower end of the lumen rating per watts. I bought them because the light is on all the time.

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

Yes, I have mine plugged in at my house for my porch.....they are great - BRIGHT if you use anything other than 15 watt bulbs but I really like them.

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.

The ones I bought are 110v and work great. They are being used in outdoor lighting fixtures that are controlled by a timer. Turns out they do attract bugs, so different bulbs with a different color spectrum of light might be better for outdoors. Otherwise, no complaints and my electricity consumption has been cut from 240 watts for 4 hours a night to 24 watts for four hours a night, sweet. Good luck.

Nope, you will need a 120ac/12vdc power supply for these lights. These are light emitting DIODES, so you must observe the proper polarity when you are hooking them up.

The problem would be to convert the power supply to match the voltage requirements of the LED bulbs. The battery pack puts out a 7.1 to 8 volt max. It would be very easy to fry these if you don't have the proper power source.

Yeah, these are 12v but they are strobe lights, don't know why you want want them for landscaping lights...

Yes- I believe they will work just fine. For me they worked better than the regular lights because they don't need as much voltage to be bright so they were brighter where I had longer wire runs.

It's like day and night if you compare these with old malibu's. Another word, much better. Remember it is either 4w/7w versus 20w/10w. Yes, I switch to 10w bulb to install more and save energy on same trnsformer. I am no expert in measuring power effectiveness, but keep in mind a 300w transformer can lose some punches over a 220 feet 12/14/16 gauge low-voltage cable(think about cable signal strength from post to your house from your tv/internet provider). If I were you, I'll do 20 of them using 10w bulbs instead. That should be a safe bet. These are really nice and you'll love them.

I am using the bulbs to replace outdoor garden halogen bulbs with LED's. However, they are pretty bright -- uplighting trees and such -- so 6 should really light up a dining room! Also, these are 12volt and may not be suitable replacements for regular MR16 bulbs unless they are low voltage.

Yes they are. I have purchased quite a few of these for use in areas that are exposed to rain & snow. I work for a "Big Box" and I think these are a very good value.I have seen reviews that they are not bright but I have not experienced this issue. Hope this info. helps.

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

Yes you can. You will need 1 light for every 10 square feet or so. I use them to light up my back patio and they are quite bright for such small inexpensive lights. I bought the 12 volt solar panel as well as a 35mah solar rechargeable battery and it's enough power to run 8 of these lights totally off the grid. It's only $12, give them a try and you won't be disappointed....... PROMISE!!!!

Absolutely! We have had a 1 tier version of these low voltage landscape lights for almost 15 years, but some of the older fixtures broke or wore out. I was thrilled to find the newer lights and we bought them about 2 months ago. They look great @ night and I have different colored bulbs for different holidays. Definitely a good deal for the cost!
