How bright is it, and can I dim it?

It puts out up to 2000 lumens across two heads. The lumen select dial lets you run it anywhere from 10% to 100%, so you can use it as soft accent light or full security brightness.

What color temperature does it use?

It has a 5CCT switch with settings from 2700K soft white to 6500K daylight. You pick the tone at installation, so it can match warm porch bulbs or read as crisp white security light.

How far does the motion sensor reach?

The microwave sensor is rated to detect movement from up to 50 feet away. Microwave sensing is more penetrating than passive infrared, so aim the heads and sensor carefully to avoid triggers from beyond your yard.

Does it come on during the day?

No. The dusk-to-dawn function keeps it inactive in daylight and lets motion turn it on at night. You can also leave it in always-on dusk-to-dawn mode if you prefer steady overnight light.

Is it hardwired or plug-in?

It is a hardwired fixture that mounts to a standard outdoor electrical box. There is no plug and no battery, so it needs a live circuit and will not run during a power outage.

Is it a good replacement for an old flood light?

Yes, if your existing fixture is hardwired to a wall or eave box. It adds selectable color, dimming and a longer sensor reach than most older dual-head floods, but check that your box and mounting height suit the sensor's coverage.
