COOPER LIGHTING L135IPC "REGENT" DUSK TO DAWN OUTDOOR LANTERN Review

COOPER LIGHTING L135IPC 'REGENT' DUSK TO DAWN OUTDOOR LANTERNIf this light did not include a photocell I would give it five stars. It is well constructed and looks fine.

The problem with this light is that its photocell does not allow the use of compact florescent light bulbs.Outdated circuitry cause compact florescent bulbs to flicker and burn out in less than 24 hours.The instructions do not warn the unsuspecting buyer of this problem. I installed this light on my garage and burned out two compact florescent bulbs before I realized that the lamp is incompatible with energy efficient bulbs.This is a major design flaw in a lamp designed to run approximately 10 hours/day and certainly the manufacturer should warn buyers of this deficiency.

The operating cost of this lamp is about $36/year using a 100w incandescent bulb vs. $9/year using a compact florescent bulb (assuming $.10/kwh and 10 hours/day).The extra $27/year needed to operate this fixture with incandescent bulbs is almost the price of purchasing a new fixture every year.

I will be replacing this lamp with one that includes both a motion sensor and a dawn to dusk setting.Using the dawn to dusk setting disables the motion sensor. These lamps use more modern circuitry and work with energy efficient bulbs.
