Which is brighter, the Philips or the Feit?

The Philips. It outputs 4200 lumens versus 2000 for the Feit, so it covers a larger area or throws light farther.

Which uses less electricity?

The Feit at 28W versus the Philips at 44W. The Feit is also Energy Star certified; the Philips listing does not state certification.

Do both have motion sensors?

Yes. Both use 180° motion detection. The Philips adds four modes including dusk to dawn; the Feit is controlled by a wall switch.

The Feit is rated for 50,000 hours. The Philips listing gives no rated life, so the Feit is the safer claim on longevity.

Are both safe for wet outdoor locations?

The Feit is wet location rated and cETLus listed. The Philips is described as waterproof with an aluminum body, but no UL or ETL listing is stated.

Is the Philips worth the extra if it costs more?

Only if you need the extra brightness. For a small patio or entry, the 2000-lumen Feit is enough and uses less power.

Philips 44W 4200 lm LED Security Light Outdoor w/PIR Motion Sensor, 5000K Daylight Flood Light, Waterproof, Dusk to Dawn, 2 Heads, 4 Modes vs Feit Electric LED Dual-Head Security Flood Light with Motion Sensor

Buy the Philips 44W if you need maximum brightness over a driveway, yard or large dark area: it puts out 4200 lumens, more than double the Feit's 2000. Buy the Feit Electric dual-head if a standard 28W, Energy Star fixture at 2000 lumens is enough and you want a simpler, lower-power install. No prices were given for either light, so compare current store prices on this page before deciding.
