Interesting they included an arm painted a totally different color from the fixture. Nice to see a residential grade light come with a twistlock PC socket and a "real" photocell. Smile

These don't really make great "yard" lights. For a driveway or something they are fine but they direct all of the light mostly downwards instead of outwards like a bucket light.

@ Mike: Yes it's interesting it comes with an arm that's a different colour. I agree, nice that it comes with a twist-lock PC socket and an ALR PC! Smile

@ ZarlogH46: Yes true they don't spread the light out that much,the fixture does direct more light out the front and less toward the back,this installation was along a driveway so it worked out well.

These spread the light much more efficiently. A 2000 lumen one of these would probably light the ground beneath it as well as a 175W MV blaster with a new lamp since almost no light is directed down with one of those. A 50W HPS FCO cobrahead in a yard would probably throw around the same amount of light beneath it as a 150W HPS yardblaster. Those yardblasters should have been banned instead of MV lamps and ballasts and new MH fixtures lol.

I think another reason why many LEDs having a tight beam is because they want you to buy more lights. Laughing

Yea, but isn't the whole point of bucket lights to light up as large of an area as possible? (nevermind the resulting glare LOL) Also, a 50w HPS FCO NEMA would probably be more optically efficient than a 50w cobrahead.

True, but I think a low-cost unit probably had something to do with the design too. An FCO NEMA would be nice to see. I've seen them in New Hampshire but GE Evolves are replacing everything from Powr/Brackets and NEMAs to M-250A2s and M-400A2s at a slow but steady pace. The light from the FCO NEMAs is similar to a highbay, with a perfectly round pool of light below the fixture. The work well if you're lighting an area from the center, like having the pole mounted in the center of your yard and mounted at a decent height. You can light a big area with a small amount of power and almost no glare. The FCO cobrahead would throw less light behind the pole, which is good if you have a pole mounted at the edge of your yard, but the pattern is generally oval-shaped so if you have a square yard you'd need at least two lights to get it well lit.

The best way to light your yard is get a highmast pole with 16 1000W MH spot lights (not flood lights) aimed straight downward. Your yard will look brighter than daylight. Very Happy Laughing You would need a 100A 240V subpanel to power it though. Laughing

They have spared the NEMAs in my area from the LED changeout, which is nice. What's funny is that in some back alleys they had both NEMAs and cobraheads. They kept the NEMAs but replaced everything else.
