Lithonia Lighting HomeGuard Dark Bronze LED Flood Lights

Very happy with this light! It’s easy to install and the light brightness and color is adjustable. Works great.

Very bright and works perfect

The light (this is the one with the accent light and all the cool switches) is nice looking and very adjustable in many ways, but there’s no way to adjust the accent light, and it is 300 lumens highlighting the under-eaves mess of wire and a good deal of the driveway. If you want an always-on, 300 lumens cool white light, you’re good to go. 300 lumens is the equivalent of 25 watts incandescent, which is not much in daylight but too much in the dark, especially if the light sits under an eave in an ugly location you don’t want to light up.

Another review says that you can disable the accent light (of course voiding the warranty). I tried this, unplugging the little circuit (shown in the photo) that feeds the accent light. In the process, I ended up destroying the light. I called Lithonia support to ask about this and was told there was no way it would work. So I ordered another light, same kind (thinking I could live with the accent light), but I couldn’t. So I returned that light and bought a Lithonia without an accent light. It is the 4000 lumens model without the switches and with the clunky motion detector, but at least it will all remain in the dark!

On the pro side, the last Lithonia sensor flood light I had installed was warranteed for 5 years and lasted for 10. And their customer service is excellent.

Easy to install. Powerful light and good for the price.

These lights work well beyond expectations. I recommend them to all my customers.

Property: 2 acres in the country, 2-story original home with attached 1-story add on master suite

Flood lighting prior to installation: None. When it gets dark out here, it’s dark.

What I wanted: To light up my entire yard around the entire house with the flip of a wall switch located in my master bedroom.

Purchase: 8 Units (2 at the front, 3 at the back, 1 over garage at side, 2 at opposite side)

Installation: I had these professionally installed (this model requires wall mounting) since there was no wiring or junction boxes where I wanted these. Replacements down the line will be an easy swap.

Pros:

– The accent light is bright and operates from dusk to dawn automatically. This may be a negative to some people, but for us it’s just the right amount of light to say, “Stay away”. Reminds me of the hotel night lights you see attached to the buildings in the parking lots. Not the fancy accent lighting you see on swanky homes, it’s more of a security lighting

– The flood lights can operate in “security mode” (motion sensing, by location from dusk to dawn) or “override mode” (all lights on, in all locations from whenever I switch them on to whenever I switch them back to security mode or I can leave them all on all night and they will revert to security mode at dawn and shut off).

– Even if the motion sensor or photocell (accent light) fails I can cut all the flood lights on at the same time. No place to hide when that happens

– Lots of adjustability for brightness level, color of lighting (flood only, the accent light color is fixes), motion sensitivity, light sensitiviy, etc.

– Having 8 units controlled by 1 wall switch. Awesome and draws only about 5 amps even when all the lights are going full blast

Cons:

– The motion sensor point of aim is fixed, and works best when the fixture is installed at 6 – 8 feet from the ground. Anything higher than that and it becomes “iffy” as to whether the motion sensor will trigger the lights to come on. I have two units installed at 20′ above the ground and the motion sensor does work, but only if you’re about 30 feet away from the house.

Bottom-line:

If these fixtures last five years I will be very pleased.
