I need to replace my flood light fixtures.

I have the standard fixture pictured below. The lights light up my driveway, patio, and backyard.

My question is, would you go back with the same fixture and flood lights or is there a better option? I see there are LED options now (the whole fixture and light, not just the light bulb). Just wondering if there's a better option before I replace.

Just leave the fixture and replace the bulbs with LED

My experience with fixtures containing built in LEDs is that they will inevitably fail. Keep your fixture that utilizes screw in bulbs. Easier to replace am LED bulb than a LED fixture...my 2 cents

I ordered some Halo brand LED fixtures off Amazon about 6 years ago to replace mine in the back yard area by our pool and have been really happy with them. They have 3 lights that really help spread the light around the corners of the house and have adjustable color warmth. So instead of blue white or bright white I have them on a warm white color that looks great and (knocks on wood) they have worked perfectly for 6 years.

If you have neighbors consider the light pollution.

Tell me about it. I have them all pointed down and they’re warm and we only use them when we let the dog out or are out there.

Neighbor behind us has a high mounted one with the bluest light that’s always on at night and shines up our master bath through the decorative window in the peak of the ceiling

We have a jerk neighbor that practically lives on top of us (in the country, no less) with excessively bright white lights without cover. When confronted neighbor claims they ain't that bright!!!
