NICOR Lighting 11521 Flood Light, Black

I was having a hard time finding fixtures to flank my two-car garage door. The fixtures I originally tried looked too small and didn't seem to provide enough lighting for my large driveway (at least six cars - three across then tandem - could probably park 8 if the cars were close - it's large). This was my third order of lights. The light fixtures themself aren't that big BUT because they have two outputs of directional lighting they worked! They're like a neater more modern and less offensive version of flood lights and the cylinders worked with the cylinder lighting I used around my exterior doors - so they match but are not identical. They look pretty good flanking my garage door and they provide excellent lighting that I can control (within the fixtures limits). They worked out great!

Got 2 of these for lights in our garage and side yard.They are very nicely finished, but the material is also very thin.One of the cans was dented right out of the box even though they were packed quite well and the outer box wasn't damaged at all. The way that can was packed next to the base just caused the edge of the base to cause the dent.I didn't want to go through the hassle of returning it, so I just situated the dent toward the wall where it's not visible at all.I was replacing existing lights, so mounting and installation took just minutes.These do not come with weatherproof gaskets. The ones installed with my old fixtures were still in good condition, so I re-used those, but if you don't have them, you'll need to order them separately.The cans swivel side-to-side on the mount by just turning them, and each can also adjusts up-and-down using a screw knob with teeth to hold the adjustment in place.Know that there is a thin, rubber-band sized gasket in the teeth that can break if you don't loosen the screw knob enough while adjusting the angle. While adjusting the first can, I loosened the screw just enough to adjust the can and in doing so, I broke the gasket. I was able to lay it back in place while I tightened it down, but keep this in mind because it's very easy to do.Since the size of the bulb base is a standard base, I thought I'd try using standard size LED bulbs instead of buying the recommended par 20 bulbs.For my situation, standard bulbs didn't work. They technically do work, because they screw in and they put out light, but the length of standard bulbs mean that the bulb fills the entire length of the can. The light from it isn't dampened at all and is extremely glaring. My fixtures are mounted just shy of 7ft from the floor. Walking by, the light is blinding even when not looking directly at it.I bought the recommended par 20 bulbs and the difference is amazing. The bulbs sit far enough in the cans that you don't get the glare, while still getting the illumination.Very nice fixtures and only time will tell how they endure Hawaii's heat, sun and weather.

I was looking for a light to replace the single light above our fireplace mantle. I chose this is it looks relatively similar to the older style one that I have I do however really like this one and the ease of assembly was really good.It worked perfectly for what I was looking for in a light fixture. I never used it outside it’s inside so I can’t attest to how well it works outside. During Halloween time we like to put black light bulbs in this fixture and decorate the fireplace to look extra spooky👍🏻

Works for my needs as intended however the quality is not great if you want to adjust often look elsewhere. The rubber in the gears is of poor quality and it already came off while adjusting after loosening.

I had a difficult installation using an extisting Bud box mounted on a steeply sloped ceiling. This was the only compact fixure that was aesthetically pleasing and fitting the application where larger lamps would otherwise be an eyesore. I was very glad it was available and essy to store.

Bought two sets to replace light fixtures that where almost identical, but these are much better. The fixtures are easy to install came with everything you need. The adjustment of the light position is very stable. They are rated for exterior but we installed them inside the home.

As an electrician I’ve put in many different lights. It’s all about what light goes where. I wanted this part of my house lit up bright at night sometimes and not so much other times. None of the big box stores sell anything this nice , outdoor rated ,120 volt, where you can dim the lamp. I had to buy a fixture that would allow dimmable lamps . They don’t sell one this simple and small. It is UL listed ,outdoor rated . It fits perfectly over a round bell box yet still allows conduit fitting to hit the hubs on the box. It will also fit a 3-0 ring or standard outdoor lamp connection point. Comes with an adapter ring of good quality. The adjustment wheels are fitted with gaskets to keep moisture out. Once properly set the gaskets stay in place ,good quality. Completely! Adjustable to suit the need . At this height 15’ ish 2, par 20 ,7 watt at 3000k are in the picture. I may try floods instead of spot but the spread is pretty darn good at 15’ high. One more item off my to do list . Hard to get a bullet style fixture for under 50 . Dimmeable? Forget about it ,get this one.

This light fixture is just what I needed - very pleased. It is well constructed, and easy to install. Accurate listing: what you see is what you get.

Good quality piece. Easy to install and adjust especially with the thumb screws.
