As AC Hacker coined the phrase "I'm on a Jihad" to reduce my electrical consumption.

The existing Flood lights are 175 watt metal Halide. They will be replaced with 25 watt LEDs. These are some Chinese LEDs that look pretty nice How ever the bracket that was supplied would in all likelihood not tolerate the Canadian winter wind. I'd made a more substantial aluminum bracket.

Time is of the essence here as winter is going to be freezing the ground and my installation will require a little digging and a little bit of concrete to anchor the metal post.

Being close to Christmas my Mrs. is in decoration mode and outside embellishment of lights is in the works. It usually involves a number of extension cords so the LED flood light mount will also sport a receptacle that will reduce the number of cords. The flood light circuit is also monitored with a timer so this will be really handy.
