I needed some efficient outdoor LED fixtures, and was tired of the low quality offerings at my local hardware stores. I found these by accident and was impressed. After some research on the manufacturer's website, I determined that these lights were what I needed.
Pros:
Made in USA (!!!)
Sturdy, well built design (~2.5 pounds)
Bright, cool white light
Includes high quality silicone gasket (read: no caulking!)
Relatively compact form factor (not as large as it looks, see dimensions on manufacturer website)
*5* year warranty
Cons:
Not really a con, but, the screws supplied with this lamp appear do not appear to be the common junction box thread pitch and diameter. I purchased a bag of replacement screws, but you may not have this issue.
For a little more than $150, you get an American made and designed LED fixture that has a 5 year warranty. Most of the LED options I found at the chain hardware stores (including their websites) were about $30 cheaper, but made in China, and with a 1 year limited warranty. Furthermore, none of said Chinese options looked as good. The circular nub on the front of the lamp is where the mounting screw goes, so the lamp sits an inch or so above where your junction box is located. The mounting hardware is top notch, and the inclusion of a high quality silicone gasket means that any surface imperfections (and potential water seepage) were eliminated without caulking.
