I was wondering if anyone can recommed a Par 38 Led for outdoor security?
 
Jake, can you give us some idea of what kind of distance you want to illuminate? Most of the PAR38 stuff would be satisfactory for close in work, but I would not use anything off the shelf if you need some distance.

One of those (expensive) LED floods would probably work better for distance. I would try to make one myself before throwing a lot of money at one of those high power flood type. A couple of transformers, a good thick piece of aluminum, and some P4's or better in a stripped out old floodlight would work as good as some of the premanufactered stuff IMO.

Looking at about 40 feet would be the furthest point. Most applications would be under 20 feet. Was trying to decide if Led was worth it.
