The $26 light ended up approx. 14’ up and attached to the middle of a 26’x40’ room. Not much spill in to the corners yet a nice tint and overall compliment to the pretty much useless 4’ fluorescent tubes that will burn around it until they die. I’m happy with the purchase so far as it’s nice to have your main work area spotlighted (well) in a comfortable glow.
(Edit) Parts arrived and these were the costs:
$70 for the SK618-601X; $20 for the SK618-RC remote and $7.50 for the photocell (plus tax).
It also looks as if I didn’t need the dusk to dawn control (received bad advice):

(basic specs. for the control; the remote link is broken; would like to hear from someone else who has one of these)
Just ordered (4) more when the last of my garage fluorescents died after accidentally leaving the lights on. The 100 watt versions seem to be the best value so I didn’t go with any of the higher lumen versions. Ceilings are only 10 feet high so it will be interesting to see how they cover; especially the light covering my work bench. Hoping to cover a 24’x32’ area w/two lights plus the bench light while saving the last light for a portable (area) work light utilizing the trunion mount paired with some other attachment device.
Just chiming in to say I’m still following along to see how those $26 Amazon lights fair. Do they seem to handle the heat okay? Are they properly grounded inside? The “100 watt” version - how much is this? Equivalent to an old 500 watt halogen floodlight (the thin long tube ones)?
-Garry
I have only run them for short periods of time in not very hot climates and have not taken them apart/probably won’t. The 500 watt halogen is probably a good approximation yet probably with less side spill and looking far less intense up close (I chose the 3000K versus whatever a halogen is). The 18,000 lumen that I have from Morris puts that category of halogens to shame yet it’s hard (imo) to beat a 500 watt halogen (period) up close or in a pretty wide pattern.
I remember picking those lights up for $6 in their hayday so $26 for this on a lark with no research to rely on is a lot of money. I’m just hoping that they pay off versus the $100+ that we’re (seemingly) paying for 100 watt (non-corncob) 3000K lights now. Keep in mind that I’m still willing (at this time) to pay approx. $200 for a properly heats sinked 150 watt light sporting a dimmer with nobody else jumping in here concerning either version in any Kelvin rating.
…or perhaps playing guinea pig/gambling a bit more on two of the sensor versions would be more prudent… 
:Amazon.com
What about a version with a dusk to dawn sensor? I don’t see one (i.e. this same thin 100w model). Also - how cold is the cool white and how warm is the warm white? I’m wondering which one to go with - guessing the cool white.
-Garry
I would message them on Amazon and report back with their answer. I have no idea what the cool version looks like and have only reported (not very descriptively) on the warmer ones. Very hard for me to describe light when it’s flooded over a large area yet I have always preferred anything but cool to actually work around for any extended amount of time. Security ‘in your face’ lighting? Cool is best imo.

…I’ve got a question in to them presently to see if (5) of these lights with the motion detectors are the same light as what I have been purchasing above. If so, one would receive (1) extra light, the motion detectors installed and pay (slightly) less. I also inquired as to the differences between the two motion detectors that they offer.
I hope that these answers from the seller (use the order of the links above for reference) are of help to someone else taking the gamble here:
Question 1: The first light (ASIN:B078HGRBH6) is cold white.
The motion sensor is similar, they are up to 50ft / 15meter. But the second light have stronger waterproof than the first light, the second light (ASIN:B078H6WPPK) is IP67 waterproof.
Question 2: Yes, it is the same version with the four lights you ordered, just with no motion sensor.
The difference between these two lights is mainly the difference in appearance.The second lamp has better heat dissipation than the first one, and uses lamp beads
with better heat dissipation.The second lamp is lighter and thinner than the first lamp.
In terms of motion sensors, the difference between the two is small.
Hope my answers will be helpful for you.

When I asked the seller about a version with a dusk to Dawn sensor I was given this answer:
“Yes, it is motion sensor light. If can be truned off by itself.”
So, apparently they didn’t understand and probably don’t sell one.
-Garry
I am waiting for them to respond to my request for a swap of the (4) lights just purchased for (5) of the same lights with motion sensors for less money. I will send them a link to this post and let’s see what they say…(the last package came out of Jersey).
I picked up one of these for my larger light yet have no idea what the quality is. For the price I can afford to add them as an accessory to the motion censored lights (hopefully) and probably end up with a light not readily available and relatively inexpensive (around $30 less the cord and plug).
…it sure would be nice if somebody reported back on one of these. 
It’s funny to me how a $20 flashlight putting out a fraction of this output garners hundreds of interested(?) buyers…yet several times that ‘wow’ factor (with motion sensor and the evidently coveted ‘warm’ tint) leaves most at …‘meh’. 
My take on this hobby has always been: full blown addicts ‘Jonesing’ for more…for less…just give it to me! :disappointed:
Kept the four lights due to my lack of faith in the postal system and the factors surrounding any possible aftermath. Was able to analyze the spill and tint in a more defined space and like it. It won’t light up everything in any immediate surroundings yet the focused portion of the light is pleasing and the form/function has value (imo).
The thread on my floodlight got even fewer views and I took beam shots and FLIR pictures. It’s kind of understandable. I use mine as a worklight, but not very often. It’s too big to use as a yard light, however I might feel different if I had enough human and wildlife intruders, and it’s near enough zilch for both.
Link to your thread leaftye?

Thanks!
