I have these! I love them! They’ve been on nearly every night for 3 years and drive all shadows away., I have them at around 18 feet and it lights up my whole yard on that side of my home. Awesome product at a great price!
hmmm now to seal the lens with silicone and mount these on the grill of the truck, power them with an inverter, i think they would make a hell of a driving light
Thank you for actually showing it turned on. I went thru a bunch of "reviews" that basically looked at the light and doesn't show it turned on. Do you know if it gets hot? I wanna maybe put diffusion material over it so you don't get blind if you accidentally look at it playing volleyball, but don't want it to catch on fire

Great video. Few questions: 1) Where can I buy heavy duty plugs to connect this to? 2) Do you just run an extension cord outside and do you leave that cord outside all year? 3) Is there a certain type of extension cord that I need to have? 4) where/how did you hang your light 30 feet high? Where can I get those poles? 5) Does this light just flood or does it actually cast down onto the ground? (i tried another light and realized that the light vas very bright but it did not have any range on the light.
You can buy heavy duty ends off of Amazon or a department store like Home Depot. I used a extendable ladder to get it up there. It puts light pretty far. So maybe spot food mixed. I have relocated the light since this video. I will do a new video soon. The extention cord is temporary I wouldn't recommend it. Go with direct burial cable.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, would there be a way to plug this into a battery? Looking to use them for our football pitch in the dark rather than hard wired into the main electricity.
@@GrayHairedDad Amazing stuff, I will get both ordered from your link. From your technical knowledge, what battery would be the best to attach to this to power them?
@alicarter7445 you could also get one of these to make it easier to move around. This one would give you light for around 1 Hour amzn.to/3APpvPL This one would give you light for around 2 Hours amzn.to/3z67egw Let me know if you have any questions.
I have a very important question if you could please answer it at soon at possible (I already got the light it’s at the back for my volleyball court but we are wondering how much is the going to add up to the light bill each month how much do you pay just for the light each month if I turn it on every day each night)?
It uses 244 watts. You would need to contact your power company to find out how much they charge you. Most light bulbs in your house are around 60 watts.
Depends on how lit you want it and also depends on if you will have them pointing down some. They are blinding so the higher up the better and angle them down some helps.
Idk if you are still responding, but how much power does it take to run this for an hour or two? Could I run it off a mid sized power pack thing for say a tennis court or pickleball for a few hours?
My place is very dark out, in the country. Can't even see your hand at your face. Your screw with out some sort of light. These are super bright. and No electric bill. Plus the stay on during power outages > I love that. No electric lights will do that > In 2 months time, they paid for them selves on saving on electric used for 5 electric street lights

Hey I bought this light and just got it working like you demonstrated and I'm pretty pleased with it. I couldn't bring myself to crack open one yet for hacking in dimming but can't wait to try this thing out tonight when it's pitch dark. I even bought those Sopoby solder and seal connectors that I had never used before and those are pretty neat. Very easy with a heat gun, though I was able to get my heat shrinking over the wires and didn't end up using electrical tape as you did. :)
That is awesome. Yeah they work really well. The light is super bright. My tree that I had the light on got blown over by a bad storm so I had to move the light to a pole. With the pole I put in its about 30ft off the ground and covers a ton of area in light.

@@GrayHairedDad Hrm, well the price is right, I may have to take a harder look. Those LEDs certainly aren't running off 120-240VAC, so there has to be a circuit inside that is rectifying that. LEDs can be driven with pulse-width modulation that adjusts the brightness without inducing flicker, as perceived by the human eye, but I wonder if it's just driving the LEDs to their limits. In other words, this thing might be hackable to make it dimmable. Thanks for the information!
I plugged this into a Ubiquiti mPower 3-port power strip so I could toggle it on and off but noticed the 300W version only draws 200W in reality. All three lights are on. Do you have a kill-a-watt meter or similar to confirm?

52 bucks? Really? Jeez.. good deal for what you get.. add a 5$ motion sensor and boom blinding flood light..
The ebay link isn’t correct. It goes to a single panel 4000 lumen version
After clicking the link select the Watts drop down. 100 watts = 1 panel 200 watts = 2 panel and 300 watts = 3 panel.
Now if it had a motion activation that would be cool.
You can wire it through a stand alone motion sensor
Is wi-fi necesary
No
