A few years I put up a new 36 watt LED dusk to dawn yard light that puts out about 5000 lumens on a pole by the new shop. It’s bright underneath but fades quickly the farther away from the light I get.
A week ago the yard light on the bin across the road conked out so I shopped around on the net and found a 7800 lumen LED from econolight. Today I put it up on the bin. Tonight when I checked out the amount of light it puts out I was fairly satisfied but not awe struck.
The 20 year old mercury vapor light here at home is putting out only a fraction of the light it used to and while I still have my friend’s scissors lift to use I decided to pull the trigger on another light to replace the mercury vapor one. This time I went to another website and found a 10,000 lumen 80 watt light that puts out a 5000 k color. I sent away for it and of course it cost more but more light is welcome the older I get.
This leads me to the question; do any of you guys know of a regular dawn to dusk yard light that’s brighter than 10,000 lumens? I’m just curious.
