This item seems sturdy and well-built, and powers-up with 120VAC right out of the box (just add an AC power cord/plug. It's pretty bright although may not quite equal a 50w Halogen. It has a nice wide projection field, ideal for lighting-up a 90°-120° angle area with 25 feet or better of usable light distance. The light field is fairly consistent, although there is a bit more light towards the center of the field. Still, it fits the "flood" light category just fine.

Inside the front (light) compartment sits a 9-element (3x3) LED array, embedded in a single substrate about 1/2"x1/2". The array is mounted to the back of the front housing with screws and Zinc Oxide conducting compound to pull the heat into the cooling-finned housing. Inside the rear compartment sits a small (switching-type) AC-DC converter module, with is labeled V-in 65VAC to 277VAC, and V-out 20VDC to 35VDC. The actual measured output (using 120VAC input) is 45VDC open circuit, and 32VDC under load (with the LED array connected). The 9 LED elements are wired in series (internally and cannot be re-wired), resulting in a 3.55VDC drop across each LED. Unfortunately this unit cannot be used with a 12VDC power supply, unless a 12VDC to 32VDC (DC to DC) converter module is used (about 10 bucks +S/H online) to replace the AC-DC module and provide 32VDC to the LED array.

The actual measured input current to the entire light fixture is .0612amps at 120.2VAC, resulting in about 7.356 watts of total power consumption. The amount of power that the LEDs actually receive/consume would be a little less due to some small amount of loss in the power converter.

After 30 minutes of run time, the output was still bright, and the housing had warmed-up a little (to perhaps 90°F-100°F), but still quite cool compared to any other type of light source, and easily handled at operating temperature.

The housing is comprised of two compartments, each of which is sealed with a semi-clear silicone gasket and held together with screws for easy (dis)assembly. Wires from the converter (rear) compartment connect to the LED (front) compartment via two pass-through tubes running between the compartments. The pass-through tubes are sealed with manually applied clear silicone sealant. The AC wire exits the housing through a compression fitting, which is also sealed on the inside with additional manually-applied silicon sealant.

The sealing job seems sufficient for any out-door use where rain or sprinklers might wet it regularly, but I would thoroughly test the fixture first before considering underwater use especially at depth.

This light's a good deal (at $15) if used for its intended purpose with AC power. Hopefully the technical info above will help other who are looking to use or modify the light for other purposes...

The unit itself is not to bad. The cord is a little short (~10"). Good color light. I am impressed with the internal connections. They are soldered. Waterproofing is good. All the covers have gaskets. 10 watts is plenty of light for total darkness to light a whole deck or small yard.

It is well designed and well constructed. Meticulous detail was paid to the paint coating and water proofing design and execution.

The power cord is only 6-7" and that may require replacement for many applications.

A small current limiting circuit is adhered to the inside of the cable housing and appears to be well sealed against moisture. Light output is excellent (but 50 W halogen equivalent may be pushing the hype a bit) There is a ground wire for the case and it was properly connected internally.

Very wide angle beam, very bright, very satisfied with it.

Honest reviews on 10 Watt LED Waterpoof Outdoor Security Floodlight 50W Halogen

I installed this particular light in the garden, replacing an old spot light. The results have been disappointing for several reasons. The light is not nearly as bright as advertised. It is so dim, I will need to replace it. Another factor is that unlike other LED's, this one heats up. The unit looks well built and was easy to install (careful with wire colors no instructions came with unit), but its simply so dim as to be worthless.

Received my light and I am quite pleased with it. The light is very bright and came with a 3ft cord with a 3 prong plug on the end. I cut the plug and hardwired this light on my front porch and this light gives off a lot of light for such a small package, also i love that it is only "rated" at 10 watts. Didn't measure it so i can't confirm if it is genuinly 10 watts or not. 4 stars because this "cool" white LED actually looks very blue. I wish it was a little more white. If you are familier with the kelvin scale, i'd say this light is 7000k-8000k...it would be perfect if it was 5000k-6000k. All in all I am happy with the light and happy with the seller, Loftek.
