I an using them to replace 150 watt high pressure sodium lights. The light from the (LED)fixtures is much harsher
than the high pressure sodium fixtures however they seem to be close in brightness. I have installed one
on a building side by side with a sodium fixture and they are adequately bright to to be used in place of the old fixture.
Be cautious of adds stating how long the led bulbs will last. While the bulbs may have a very long life, the electronics in
the fixtures can be taken out by strong power surges and I don't know if these can be fixed. I have not lost any of this
particular fixture to a power surge yet but do intend to install an in line surge suppressor as added insurance.
I have not yet used the led fixture in a situation where the light needs to broadcast for a long distance so I can't yet say
how it compares to the high pressure sodium in that circumstance.
With 22 flood lights at one property the savings should be notable once the high pressures sodium fixtures have been replaced.
I am only going to replace fixtures as they wear out in case any unforeseen problems develop with the LED's.
Also of note the LED flood was much brighter than I expected, which was a nice surprise.

ONE OF MY LAMPS ARRIVED WITH A TEAR IN THE HOUSING. THUS, IT WAS NOT WATERPROOF. THE DAMAGE WAS DONE BEFORE ASSEMBLY, NOT AFTER SHIPPING. I WAS ASKED TO PAY SHIPPING TO RETURN THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE I HAVE CONTACTED THESE PEOPLE THREE TIMES AND HAVE NEVER GOTTEN A RESPONSE. AMAZON SHOULD NOT BE FRONTING FOR THIS COMPANY.Best Deals for 50 Watt LED Waterpoof Outdoor Security Floodlight 100/240V AC
No instructions were included but I wired it blue to neutral, brown to hot and green/yellow to ground. I heard a short buzz sound then nothing. Upon inspection of the PCB board, the electronics looked cheap and hand soldered. Only two of four screws were used to attach the PCB to the housing. Two small heat sinks were poorly attached to the PCB.There are similar looking 50W LED floods out there that are much more expensive. Maybe they have different and better drivers? At least Amazon makes it easy to return.
Save yourself some aggravation and avoid these.
