Finally mounted all 5 of my LED lights. Each fixture has a 7 watt 2700k led for low lighting and an extra kick for CRI. Also they have 47 watts of bright 5600k light.
All added up, 270 watts are consumed lighting up this 100' * 60' area of my yard. There is some light spilling in the rest of the yard, but LEDs allow you to direct most of the light where you want. You can see the very sharp cut off at the edge of the yard in the first two pics.

The cut off isn't so drastic on the other side, but there is minimal spillage.

I had to back way up to get all 5 in the shot here. Also gives a good idea of the target area.

It's all low voltage wiring so no safety or legal issues. The drivers are mounted in my shed. I'm going to hook up some 24 volt relays so I can turn the lights on individually from inside the house.<br><br>All added up, there is about 22,000 lumens running at 270 watts including the drivers, not bad.
PLAY BALL!!!
