9266 65W Fluorex Flood Light, Brown

Love these lights! Great light output for the power. Previous purchase of this product was a HUGE disappointment with multiple failures (prox 40% failure rate). Bulbs were good and no mechanical problems with the failed fixtures but the ballast circuit died on the problem units.I disassembled one of the new fixtures purchased through Amazon, comparing it with one of the failed units from a previous purchase, and the circuit board has been redesigned with a better quality board and components. The new lights turn on faster and are brighter than the old lights that are still working. Perhaps they fixed their quality control issues. No problems in the three weeks that the new lights have been in service. Looks promising...

I actually used this light for the sump on my salt water tank so this may not be overly helpful to the average user.I have a 29 gallon sump on my saltwater aquarium and wanted a reasonable priced light for the plant growth. This light fits the bill perfectly. It comes in at 6500K and since plant growth is 6400K (so I read) I am a happy camper. The fact that it is compact makes it fit perfect. Since it is meant for outdoors it is pretty well sealed up and that helps protect it from the salt creep. I love the color of this light aw well. It looks much better then the cheap light on my main aquarium.The only downside I found so far is that the photo eye is a fix mount, you can't disable it. The directions actually say to cover it with electrical tape. I taped over the eye and now the light only comes on with the timer but not sure how long that will last though.

Bought on May 30 and it quit working on Sep 20. We have multiple known-good bulbs to test with and the light fixture itself is not working. Disappointing. I see it is now currently unavailable.Edit: after much difficulty I reached customer support for Lights of America. They said they haven’t made this light in 6 years so it is out of warranty. I pointed out there is a 3 yr warranty from date of purchase. The guy consulted someone else and I heard her say “I can’t help it if they bought an old light from someone.” So purchased less than 4 mos ago, stopped working, and no warranty.

I purchased a total of 10 of these lights via Amazon over the last 3 months. 1 was dead on arrival, 2 failed within a week, and the fourth just burned out (after 3 months in operation). I read the reviews on this light, but thought that maybe they were a bad batch or that the users did something wrong. Not true. Trust and believe the fellow raters and find a different light fixture. With what you have to pay in shipping (combined with the light), you can go to Home Depot and buy something better. I contacted the manufacturer who said I would have to ship the light back to them at my expense for them to "look" at the light under warranty. Save yourself the hassles I, and so many other purchasers went through, and resist the temptation to buy a cheap light. The odds are VERY good that you will regret buying this fixture.

thought they would put out more light but did like the dust to dawn feature. Put tin foil behind the bulb to get more light

The housing is plastic and a plastic neck. Not the most sturdy but they work great. Easy to hook up onto an exterior round electrical box. My driveway is lit up completely and its only 65W. Turns on automatically at night. Highly recommended. Two colors to choose from.

The 65-watt 9266 lamp can proudly wear the title "Lights of America". We have 9 of them in our barn, and they have been trouble-free. The light plastic gooseneck is a bit weak and requires a lot of tightening to prevent movement. A more robust pivot point would help prevent fractures from over-tightening.However, Lights of America has been getting cheaper with its lower-wattage lights. The 27-watt version comes with the lens retaining screws simply taped to the inside of the mounting plate. They also stopped supplying the alternate black plug to disable the photocell.Lights of America needs to review their Quality Control. Simply tosssing hardware into a box without an explanation could lead to easily avoidable failures. (Such as the lens falling off and/or leaking!)Their cheapest version (18-watt) is the model you should avoid like the plague. We installed ~30 of these, and over 50% of them failed within 3 months. Truly a piece of junk!Whoever designed/qualified the 18-watt version should be fired for incompetence/negligence. They should recall the 18-watt version and redesign it to make it reliable! Smoke in my barn is a no-no!So, here's my summary:65-watt -- Buy without worries27-watt -- Some assembly required18-watt -- 3-month disposable version *JUNK*

We've used this same fixture for many years and have, for the most part, been very happy with it. A very bright light, easy to mount on the house, and pretty easy to replace the bulb. The only problem we've had with them at all is that the sensor, or circuitry involved with it, fails after a fairly-reasonable time and the only choice is to replace the fixture. We'd rather not have that happen, but we really do like the fixture, so will accept it.
