I'm replacing two motion activated outdoor lights. The old ones were Heath- Zenith halogen with the dual bright feature. That's where they come on at dusk for 4 or 6 hours at maybe 30% intensity to provide accent lighting. At night if there is motion anytime, they come on full.
So, I'm replacing them with LED. First problem is that almost all the LED ones just put out 5000 temp harsh light, even if they put out less than full, it's still harsh and ugly. Next is that these have to go under a soffit and while some of these lights claim to be mountable either on a wall or under a soffit, they really don't point right when mounted under a soffit. They wind up pointing to the ground close to where they are mounted, at best, instead of lighting an area 25 ft out. Next problem is the ones that are allegedly usable under a soffit are meant to be installed on a 90 deg soffit and my soffit follows the roof pitch, which is 22 deg on one roof. The other is less, maybe 15 deg. After searching, the best light I found are these, that Lowes stocks:
So, I'm looking for an adapter that can go as an interposer between the fixture and electrical box so the fixture mounts horizontal, 90 deg instead of 90 - 22 deg, etc. One box is 4" round, other is std rectangular type. I could replace the rectangular one if needed. The interposer needs to have an angle of at least 22 deg. If it's more, like 33 deg I think it would work better, helping make it so the light heads can be positioned facing out, away from the house more.
I haven't really started to look for the interposer widget, but thought I'd ask here is anyone knows of ones that would work. White or paintable white, angle of 22 min, more maybe 33 to even 45 might be better. If there was something you could cut to whatever angle you want that might be good too. Anyone know of a good candidate?
Thanks.
