GLW 10W 12V White Waterpoof Outdoor Security Floodlight 50W Halogen Equivalent

Its a good light from a typical cheap chinese manufacturer.Its a 12V led light in a 'weatherproof' housing for $8 so I knew it wouldnt be the brightest thing on the market but should suit my needs. Im creating a string of these to use either with a car adapter or battery w/ solar panel for camping to eliminate the need for many little propane cylinders.When I received these I took them apart and checked them. Mine had a misplaced internal rubber gasket (part of it was sticking out of the housing). The reflector lens was screwed in with 2 of 4 screws, but it didnt rattle or move when handling it so I left it. There was plenty of thermal paste and the led was secured in to 2 corners as well. Something else I thought I thought to mention was the EU wiring scheme. These lights also come in a 120/220V version, so the wiring is carried over presumably. Brown is Positive(Hot), Blue is Negative(Neutral).The housing itself is nice, the bracket it garbage though. Dropped the light a few times, housing/glass were all fine, but the bracket always bent.After reassembling them I tested the with a multimeter to get the actual wattage of the led. They consumed around 4.2watts at 12.5V.As for the light output. It is what you expect from a less than 5W led. Its not very bright, but as a landscape or general courtesy light, these will be fine. Also, they are on the cool white side, mine cast a very blue hue probably around 6500KEDIT: Decided to break in to it again. The board limits these leds to about ~11v and ~350ma. Plugged directly in to my power supply they can consume 550ma at 12.5v.So out of the box wattage is 3.85WLED is actually closer to 7W; (550ma @ 12.5v)Also took some photos, I popped it when applying 120v to see if it was mislabeled. No biggie, Ill probably just run it directly off 12v or get another driver since they dont get used for more than a few hours a time a couple times a month at most.

I own a lot of LED lights, for both the workshop and landscape use, using LED transformers. This advertises 900 lumens (brightness), but right next to a actual 900 lumens CFL this product sheds half the light at best. Two of these 10w models are mounted right above my workbench, and they do not actually cast a shadow when I put my hand below (in partial indirect sunlight). By the time I wired them up to a LED transformer and wired them both through conduit its too much hassle to repack and send back. If I ever have the time to run 12v in the bathroom I could use these as night lights.

Power is less than advertised - 5 - 7 Watts for the 5 units tested. Not as bright as 10W units. Otherwise, good lights at a good price.

Light is bright but bracket cheap , broke after a few days use on lawnmower

I installed solar lighting inside and outside my house these lights I used for my outside flood lights along with the dusk to dawn sencer and it works great I have cut my electric bill 40% by going solar. Next will be my electronics once I go wind generators! I got 5 of these!

Nice light not quite as bright as I thought it would be but puts out a nice soft light that you can see a good distance. It's like a 40 watt firesant light bulb best way to describe it

The light works great. I use it to light up a cherry tree and it throws out a lot of light. The light is very white which was exactly what I was looking for.

Burnt out way too soon.
