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 is truly made for the outdoors and is truly a spot light as opposed to a flood light. the housing of the led is heavy duty and should stand up in outdoor inclement weather over time. i've only owned this for about a month, and winter has not started yet, so time will tell if this is a good value or not. so far, so good. it's perfect for lighting up a flag on a flagpole without lighting up anything else that may be nearby. do be careful on which model you get. the 20w model is not a spot light. this review is for the 30w model with a 22 degrees of light coverage. this works perfectly for my application, since the people who originally built this house located the flag pole too close to the house and garage. i no longer have light coming in through my windows from a cheap halogen flood lamp that cost too much money to run. the led works well and lights up my flag very well. any brighter would be too much light. and due to the 22 degrees. it is a white light, which is what i was looking for. it will not augment the colors of what you are lighting up like those soft/warm yellow lights do. the wires are about 10 inches in length with gives you plenty of slack to work with. my only ding is that they are only 18 gauge. would of liked them to be at least 16, but 18 will work just fine if you are hooking it up to romex coming from your garage/house breaker panel.

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.

Amazing improvement over previous MH light! I installed this 30 W, 3350 Lumen, 20 deg. beam Jan 18, 2020. Replaced a 12" X 12" X 10" fixture on 1/2" steel conduit. This unit is so much smaller and light weight made R & R very easy. Lighting a 6' X 9' winter and 8' X 12' summer US flags. Color at 5000K is very good. Light is 8' from pole and aimed near vertical to the flag, top of pole at 28'. (Pole is actually 40', the light is mounted on a building edge at 12' off the ground) From the street to the pole the light is directly behind the flag yet lights the flag very nicely regardless of fly direction. A second LED to either side would result in Spectacular lighting but placement is too difficult. Nearly 11 months continuous service (with solar cell control) and I've not experienced any problems. Previous repair to the MH 4/4/2015 req'd ballast/starter and bulb, cost $120. And until this LED installation I'd replaced two 175W bulbs and a photocell for another $73.11. I am expecting continuing high quality light and increasing $ savings.

If you are expecting a SPOTlight, you will be sorely disappointed. Product description says "SUPER NARROW BEAM ANGLE: 20° beam angle, more focused brightness and longer light distribution. Perfect choice for long distance and circular lighting demands. ". Well that's just what I wanted to supplement my existing driveway floodlight, to light up the far end of the driveway. Note: A 10 watt LED flashlight does this very well, so I expected that a 30 watt 110V powered fixture advertised as a 20 degree long distance narrow beam would do even better. Nope! Received the item, looks nice and well built, so hopes were high. Powered it up inside and was dismayed! Not narrow beam at all, much more like a standard wide beam floodlight. Even the product packaging, "manual", and label on back of fixture call it a FLOODlight (though the label also - incorrectly - mentions the 20 degree beam angle). The beam angle is actually right about exactly 90 degrees; I held it 6 feet away from our 13 foot wide garage door and it lit up the whole width with nearly even brightness. Then I turned it around facing the end of the driveway (which it didn't reach) and again got a huge wide floodlight illumination of about 90 degrees width. I'll try to add a picture of this so you can see. Bear in mind that a simple 10 watt LED flashlight lit up the end of the driveway (including the trees on the opposite side) just fine. So if you are expecting a narrow beam spotlight, you will be sorely disappointed. I sure was! Back it goes (thanks, Amazon Prime EZ returns!). NOTE: If you do want a wide beam floodlight, this unit appears to be reasonably well made and is attractive (though on the pricey side).

I give this 4 stars for a few reasons. I feel that this light should come COMPLETE ready to plug in and on a stand, however it comes far from that. It comes with the wires hanging out of it and no cord attached. You have to wire it yourself to a plug that would go into an outlet. On top of that it does not come with a stand or spike for the outdoors. If I was using this as a spotlight attached to the house it’d be great (REALLY BRIGHT) for that use, but I am using it for my flagpole. Had to McGuiver the whole set up myself to make it work haha. It is BRIGHT though and does a great job for my 20’ flagpole.

I was wondering why this is more expensive than the landscape lights, but now I see why. This GKOLED spotlight is much larger when you see it in person, compared to how it seems the product photos. It is made of tough metal. 30W is about double the power of most of the common "strong" landscape lights. When I read the reviews I noticed that some people complained of a wide beam pattern, rather than a narrow beam. I looked at the beam closely, and the manufacturer's diagram appears correct in that the center of the beam is much stronger than the perimeter. So this is like a hybrid of intense spotlight + gentle flood. This is actually a nice effect because the center beam makes the flag bright, and the less intense spillover provides some ambient lighting for the surrounding trees etc. to make a smooth transition rather than a harsh border effect. The color temperature is cool white, but it is not too blue like the cheap LEDs. This lights up the flag on our 20 foot pole nice and majestic! Note that this will need to be mounted a 120V electrical box, as it does not include the stem or plug in cord.

It's a pricey light but it does the job and all for 30 watts of power! My wife had a great idea. She said instead of running wire out to the flagpole, why don't you just mount the light at the existing lantern post, 25 feet away. We live in the upstate of South Carolina. Red Clay is part of our "earth". It's some tough stuff to dig through plus wrecking the lawn. Listen to your wife guys... They can have some great ideas! I mounted an bronze outdoor electrical box to the pole using short sheet metal screws to anchor it to the lantern pole. I used a bronze cover plate with 1/2" threaded holes. I placed a long 48" wide ruler inside the lantern post to protect the wiring from my drilling at the base. I also installed a Photocell. This setup works great but the light could use a baffle to blackout excess light from the beam. Regarding the light. It's not a laser beam. The light still fans out but it illuminates the flags on the pole and that's the "name of the game". Very happy! Blessings John 20:29

Light was much brighter and wider than expected. Spread is much more than 20 degrees. Super bright. Also should have read better as no ground post or mounting post is included.
