Which is brighter, the GE or the Philips?

The GE is much brighter at 10,000 lumens versus 4,200 for the Philips. The GE suits large open areas; the Philips suits entryways, side yards and driveways.

Which uses less electricity?

The Philips draws 44 W against 80 W for the GE. At typical nightly run times the Philips costs roughly half as much to operate.

Does the Philips have a motion sensor and the GE not?

The Philips has a 180° PIR motion sensor with four modes. The GE lists a 15 ft motion range plus dusk-to-dawn sensing, so check the exact model before relying on motion activation.

Both use integrated LEDs, so life depends on run hours and heat. The GE backs its fixture with a 5-year limited warranty; the Philips listing does not state warranty terms.

Can I mount either on a pole?

The GE lists both wall and pole mounting. The Philips listing shows wall mounting hardware only.

Is the GE worth it over the Philips?

Only if you need the extra brightness and IP65 rating for a large area. For a smaller space with motion-triggered lighting, the Philips is the more efficient choice.
