GKOLED 30Watt Bullet LED Spotlight, Narrow Beam Angle COB LED Round Spotlight, 5000K Daylight White, 3350 Lumens, 120-277V, Outdoor Flag Pole Spot Lights Fixture, UL Listed

This light fixture arrived quickly and exceeded my expectations.The metal housing appeared well made and was free of any visual defects. The finish was also better than expected. The light is heavy, compared to "plastic" bodied models but still easy to handle and install.The light output was very good and we were able to illuminate a 60 ft high flag pole for about 75 ft away.The spot could be a little tighter but overall it was very good. I would recommend this fixture if you need a "spot" light for long distances.

Like: I wanted a narrow beam LED spotlight with enough radiated power to brightly light a 150 foot driveway and the building at its end. This light did everything I hoped for and more, using just 30 watts. You cannot look back at the light without losing your night vision for a while, in fact it is quite unpleasant to look at if you are in the beam at night. This should be considered when selecting placement. The first photo shows the light on a pylon welded from 3 9-foot pieces of rebar, with 2 feet buried. The second photo shows that the pylon was mounted about 2 feet above the driveway, giving a total mounting height of 9 feet above ground level. This prevents anyone from being directly illuminated at close range. The second photo is a telephoto shot from about 25 yards. Taken at about noon in full sunlight.Negative: This light uses the normal 115/125 volt power you have in your house. You will have to either have an outlet with a GFI handy near the place where you place the light or you will have to bury the conductors safely deep in the ground using conduit. I chose to use conduit and turning boxes to maintain a water tight seal right op to the light. The light does allow a water tight fitting right into the light housing. The negative aspect of all this is the amount of labor required to run all the conduit, pull cables, etc. This is NOT low voltage light and cannot be used with the low voltage wiring you typically use for landscape illumination. Low voltage cable is usually rated for 30 volts, which the required voltage easily exceeds.When wiring the light it is useful to add in a switch in a dry location and place the Ground Fault Breaker "upstream" of this switch.This is a serious light source capable of projecting a narrow and powerful beam a long ways. You must consider your neighbors, assuming that you have some and avoid aiming the light such that it illuminates their house(s). They would probably be irate.In summary: Other than the hassle of having to run line power to the light through PVC conduit, and the care needed to aim the light carefully, the only other concern is to make sure that the mounting is rigid and able to withstand wind and rain. The light is waterproof, but the mounting and whatever it is attached to must be rigid or the beam will wander around, which may be less than valuable to you and again has the potential to bother neighbors.I am very happy with my purchase, and it provides better performance than I expected.Hey, you wanted a powerful spotlight that only uses 30 watts. These are the cautions you would have to take with any 120 VAC power line and its mounting, whether it is LED based or uses other less efficient sources.

these 2 lights were a second purchase after my excellent sucess with the first installation with this fixture

Well made heavy duty light. 30 watter puts out plenty of light. However, the 20 degree beam angle is not obvious. It lights up the whole world. To illuminate a flag on a 24-foot pole I needed to glue a 5" long conical shade tube on the front of the light to prevent wide field illumination. Don't know why it doesn't seem anybody can build a true spotlight.
