Ya, all my lights turn off at 11pm ish,

even the low voltage area lighting.

I notice around here a lot of the gas stations that use them have been experiencing failures. I've been to quite a few stations where the lights were strobing like an 80s dance floor. My experience has been like Eddie's. Dim, dimmer and dark.

I don't think I said what brand they are using. I have no idea what brand. I was just making an observation about those outdoor LEDs in general. I've seen those strobing LEDs multiple times in gas station canopies.

I've seen the LED bulbs blinking before they die, but not the lights with the LED's built into them. In my case, they just got dimmer, and dimmer. Then for about a week, they just barely had a glow to them before they died for good. When the sensors went out, it was instant. They worked the night before, but not the next night.

Good news. The Co-Op maintenance crew was out this week. Annual check on the "signal extender" they had to install at my place.

Fellow said - yard light goes out - give the Co-Op a call. They will be right out and install a new bulb.

Eddie,

I have used this company for many LED lights.

The one and only time I had a problem was when I bought 3 LED fixtures and one of them died. They sent me 3 replacement fixtures.

One specification to look at when purchasing LED lights is the lumens per watt ratio. Lower lumens per watt fixture have died a pre mature death.
Higher quality fixtures generally having at least 100 lumens of output for ever 1 watt input. This usually indicates the quality of the LED driver components internal to the fixture. Now the lumens per watt ratio in some fixtures is as high as 150 lumens per watt.
Better quality control in the LED's and the LED driver (similiar to a ballast).

If you have an Electric Co-op. I'd call them and see what they use or recommend.

I have a security light on a pole in my driveway that was installed by Co-Serv Electric, my Co-op. It's been there for 25 years and I've never seen them touch it.

Problem with coop provided lighting….they have it here also, but charge something like 5 or 10 bucks a month for it. So what they install for free, can end up costing something like 60-120 bucks a year…forever.
