Cheap Ledwholesalers Motion and Photo Sensor Floodlight, 30 Watt Led

Customer Ratings:

I recently bought this light to replace my broken $20.00 security light and wanted something that would last longer than 3 months without having to replace a fairly expensive flood light. I also wanted something that would be less power hungry than the 200 watts my previous light required. This light only uses 30 watts of power that is less than a quarter of the power my previous light required. When I installed this light and turned it on for the first time I was blown away at how bright it was. Also, the color of white that the light emits is closer to sunlight than that of an incandescent bulb. In short, I believe it is maybe a touch less bright than my previous light, but not much. As they show in the description it is comparable to 200 watts and it is very true. Had it for about a month now and not a complaint one.

Need to get 1 more. I am replacing some CF outside lights with these. A lot more light with less energy consumption. CF's do not seem to last long in this country (Bahamas) where power cuts and local generator power is used several times a month. So far the 2 I got have held up fine for 2 months. Hoping they last longer than the CF's which go out every 6-18 months.

The lights come with little instructions and about a 3' pigtail 3 wire cord. But, the 3 wires are marked with a sticker as to which color is line, neutral and ground. If those terms confuse you, or do not know what color wire is what at the install site, you had better get an electrician.

Update April 26

Got a third one and just put it up. One side of the fixture had just the drill hole and was not threaded for the bolt to attach the bracket, The bolts are metric. But since they are small I did not try to rethread the metric bolt or try change the 1 threaded hole to 5/16". I bought a new 5/16" bolt for the unthreaded side and tapped the mounting hole with a 5/16" tap. This was easy as the meal is aluminum. Annoying though. If you do not have a tap and die set, you have a problem and could be cheaper to send the unit back than go out and buy a set just for this job.

Do not know why, but when first electrified, the light turns on for hours regardless of the settings. Getting used to the photo sensor (3) adjustments is a little trick too. One of the other lights yesterday turned on for a few hours in the middle of the day for some reason but reset to the settings that were left in place and went off until it got dark.

One has stopped working completely. I will check the motion senser to see if that has failed or the LED has failed

This particular install I had to mount the unit with the photo sensor on top of the light with the control knobs facing down. My mistake as waster got into the fixture from extremely heavy rain through the photo sensor joints in the stem. Should have used more sealer. It is better to mount the fixture with the photo sensor under the light, Got a little lazy and paid the price

I have this light attached to my garage about 13 feet up. It lights up quite the area. I am impressed with the amount of light it produces in such a small pachage.

Honest reviews on Ledwholesalers Motion and Photo Sensor Floodlight, 30 Watt Led

This thing while it briefly worked was exact what I need. I wired it up on the bench and adjusted the settings for sensitivity and time, It was nice and bright and the motion detector seemed to work well. Then I unplugged it and climbed up the ladder and installed it. After all that it decided it didn't want to work anymore. I fiddled with it on the ladder then had to take it back down. Back to the work bench where while fiddling with it some more it came on one more time and then that was it. I can hear the relay for the motion detector working properly but the light simply wont light up except on those two rare occasions. Luckily Amazon has the best return policy there is but this particular item turned out to be a collisional waste of time. At least it didn't almost blow a hole in my hand like one of the other reviewers experienced!

I'm aghast this product made it to market.

After installing the floodlight, I set about tuning the motion sensor.

After 5 minutes I heard a load 'whoosh' noise and a spark flew from the unit. Upon closer inspection the floodlight had failed in a catastrophic way. Something inside exploded with such force it pierced a hole clean through the metal enclosure! Thankfully my hand was not there at the time, but had been there just moments earlier.

See my uploaded picture. I just can't believe it blew a hole through the metal case.

The user installation guide and manual are written in very poor English, with nonsensical phrases. This alone should have made me wary of this junk Chinese product.
