[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3811441, member: 35036"] Question one: personally, I have found LED retrofits to be superior in every purpose I have used them for. More efficient, longer lasting, oftentimes brighter. Personally, if it were me, I would do away with the photocell, install a switch, and find an LED bulb to replace your current situation. You should be able to find the bulb needed via writing on the bulb or fixture. Less energy consumption, less parts to break, manual control over the light, which reduces light pollution. Question two: I don’t have said lighting requirements, or land But I did operate, maintain, and set up flood lights in the Marines, I also designed power grids and lighting plans for bases, both in country and overseas in less than friendly sandboxes. I typically used these Magnum floodlight units: [ATTACH type="full" alt="9C65EAF4-8247-481B-9587-6A90020E49EF.jpeg"]284417[/ATTACH] Theyre pretty similar to what you find in the oil and gas business and construction applications.
