I just installed this on my sofit, but thinking of taking it down. My concern is the design where the light plugs in to the base plate. No mechanism for any water drainage there. So if water somehow gets there it can cause a short-circuit. Possible fire hazard. Should be Ok for wall installation as the water will go down, and hopefully drain.
There shouldn't be a moisture coming down your soffit unless there's a leak somewhere. My soffit is dry. Why don't you seal the perimeter of the base with RTV or caulk and put the same around the area of the plug.
The house wiring should have a black wire, a white wire and a ground that's either green or bare copper. Match the wires in the flood light to the color of the wires in the house.
@@beans7199 It will work without a ground wire but it's potentially dangerous. Hook up the ground wire on the fixture to either a cold water pipe or direct it to ground (earth).
Did you remember to restore power to the circuit after installation? If so, try centering the adjustment switches and try it, at night. Then try it with the sensitive adjustment to the most sensitive position. My light is so sensitive I have to set it to the least sensitive position. Also try it at each illumination setting, there's only two. If nothing works after your trials it sounds like the unit is defective and should be returned.
It's still working very well. Even on the low setting it throws a bright light. It's sensitive, the wind seems to turn it on. Overall I like it. Thanks for watching!
after one year one of the lights went out,, I bought two back then and still have one left.. not going to buy another Koda. It is a nice light, but still junk.
MY KOda Light worked great for about a year then one of the three lights went out. I should just go by a light that is not junk. They have no help on their sight to fix it.
This is awesome. I just bought same one at Costco. You video is very useful info to me.
I'm glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
I bought one from Costco other day for my mobile home , mine says 6500lm brightness , looking good👍
It throws plenty of daylight around!
Thank you for the video! Also you cracked me up when said, “why are we whispering”
Thanks for watching!
Thaks ser for your explanation 🎉

it says in directions to fil any gaps with silicone
Hello what color wires go where?
The house wiring should have a black wire, a white wire and a ground that's either green or bare copper. Match the wires in the flood light to the color of the wires in the house.
@@davidgpohello what if there is no ground wire?

I installed 3 looks good, but says up all night. Something is wrong, I tried adjusting sensor and timing.
Return it. Mine is super sensitive too but it turns off for a good while.
Hi David, I installed mine but it’s not sensing the activity? Any idea how I can fix this? Thank you

It worked!!! Thank you so so much for your help!!
@@ChristinaDelViento That's great news!
Hey David, how is the floodlight working for you? I bought them from Costco yesterday, but I haven’t installed them yet.
It's still working very well. Even on the low setting it throws a bright light. It's sensitive, the wind seems to turn it on. Overall I like it. Thanks for watching!
Thanks, David.

Unfortunately all the flood lights on the market are crap!
