Re: Liquid Cooled LED Bulbs

said by Majestik:

I've had my 60 watt led bulb on 24/7 outside since March. Made it through 25 days over 100 degrees last summer with max of 114 according to my outdoor sensor. In shade.
Still going strong.

I have since installed three more outside and has been on 24/7 since September.

While I realize they're inexpensive to operate why the heck are you leaving them on 24/7?

Where I live security prefer that you leave your patio lights on at night,keep bushes trimmed at windows,etc.. I also have cams outside.
The screw in dusk to dawn adapter does not work well with these lamps.
I'm not home to turn the lights on and off.
If I am going to leave a light on it might as well be LED.

You should invest in something like this

It's very cheap and gives the illusion of the house being occupied (as lights turn on in the evening and off in the morning).

alkizmo See Profile, have you used this before? If so, I'll send you a PM so I don't hijack this thread but that looks nice and might be applicable to a situation I have.

That website is expensive!

Got one of those from Home Depot for a little less than $40 a while ago.

I live in a gated condo community. The homes here are cedar and stucco. They are replacing all the cedar wood with a textured hardy board and my unit is scheduled for this in two years. While checking/fixing any termite damage,replacing barrier,and possibly replacing insulation they will be wiring these lights with sensors. Also perfect time to install wiring for any cams we want to mount before closing up.
If not for this I would be getting these.

Yeah sorry guys, I thought I was linking home depot's website. Here in Canada I can buy them for 30$. Very neat stuff especially since they auto adjust for the time of he year. Here we can have sunligth as late as 9pm in mid summer and darkness as early as 3pm this time of the year.

Edit- be sure to read amazon reviews before buying any model. Some brand/models have reset/crashing problems.
