Cooper Lighting GT100MH 100W Metal Halide Industrial Grade Security Dusk to Dawn Area Light
Review by Dudicleness : Great light - if it gets to you unbroken

First order; the light arrived with a broken mounting bracket (the bracket on the cast housing that mounts to the bracket that goes on the wall). It was shipped in the box the light comes in (like what you'd pick-up off the shelf at a store) - nothing else to protect it. Returned it and received the replacement relatively quickly - easy enough via Amazon's return procedures. Well done.

Replacement order; light arrived - this time the housing was cracked around the base of the plug that receives the photo-senser (again, part of the cast housing). Ugggggg. Again, it was shipped only in the box the light comes in - nothing else. UPS both times. So, rather than return it a second time, I put some silicone around the crack (before I mounted the photo-senser) and it worked. Plenty of light for around my pole barn (about 200' from the back of my house).

The quality of the light is very good - it is just the packaging is entirely insufficient for shipping. I think it is a "shipping thing" and not the light itself. Be prepeared for a decent probability that your light will arrrive damaged - unless you get lucky ... I was "0" for "2". But, in the end, it works.

Review by F. Gump : Excellent Product

Pros:
I wanted to replace a similar Mercury Vapor (175 watt) unit about 10 years old with a Metal Halide (100 watt) unit due to the latter's energy efficiency. I again chose the Cooper unit because mounting it is a snap. A metal bracket is screwed to the mounting surface, the lamp fixture is dropped over a heavy metal pin in the bracket, the wiring is connected, the lamp fixture is swung back against the bracket, and a metal pin is dropped through the fixture into the mounting bracket. Done! This was important to me since the fixture is located 35 feet in the air. Overall, this unit is truly "industrial grade."
Cons:
"Out-of-the box" assembly involved unsnapping a couple latches to remove the plastic globe, installing the lamp, reinstalling the globe, and installing the photo-electric cell. The latter presented a problem in that I was unable to twist and lock it in position after numerous attempts. A call and email with a photo of my problem to Cooper's Customer Service representative resulted in the following response from them: "You should receive a new fixture in the next 3-5 business days. Thank you." Problem solved in less than three hours.
Overall:
Product: 5 stars, notwithstanding the photo-electric cell problem.
Cooper's Customer Service: 5 stars.
As usual, Amazon's service was exemplary.

Review by Tazaraptor : Great Light

I've had this light installed for a little over a month now & it has preformed flawlessly!
I was sup-prized at the amount of light output, lights my large lawn & driveway up very well.

This seems to be a very well built light. The mounting system works great, allowing you to
mount a small hinge like bracket then hang the heavy light on it, hinged on a pin, while you
do the wiring hookup, then just swing closed & place second pin in to secure. Very easy!

My light initially shipped with the wrong bulb for some reason but Cooper Lighting provided great
Customer service & shipped the correct bulb to me very fast without any hassle.

Could not ask for more, nice heavy duty, bright, outdoor light with great customer support!

Review by E J Clark : Cooper Security Lighting for Home use a Great Buy!

This product is well worth the money if you are looking for a well built & constructed security yard light. It's also very easy to install. The 100 Watt Metal Halide bulb lights up my yard, my neighbors yards and my alley. The light puts off a bright cool white light that is very pleasing to the eye. Even though it is expensive and you could get a cheaper light I would still recommend this over others because of the metal construction which would hold up for years to come. I previously own a Lights of America 65W Fluorex yard light which is equal to a 500 watt bulb because a Fluorex bulb is a very white light, but this yard light beats Lights of America in brightness and in construction. When I purchased the Lights of America yard light I bought two of them just in case one failed. Well after about five years to six years the first failed to work and the plastic begin to break down, so I put up the second and after another eight or nine years the second failed and the plastic began to break down also. I believe that because they were made of plastic they did not hold up as well, but they did serve their purpose very well. The Cooper Area Light is a heavy metal well constructed industrial grade light that I believe will not break down like the Lights of America did and in the long run will end up costing less. Also the Cooper Security light is a very attractive light which will add to the appearance of any home.
