Yeah. That was a weird comment. LEDs aren't even that bright and you're just replacing what you already have.
He's entitled to his comments/concerns/gripes. He does have a legitimate gripe. Mine are screaming drunks, neighbors trying to burn rotten firewood, loud trucks and playing cornhole until 2am.
The LEDs I have now are integrated into the awning tube. They shine up on the under side on the awning and produce a nice glow on the ground. I can control their brightness by rolling them up close to the awning fabric. I won't be able to do that with what I mount on the wall so I'll need to install a dimmer.
Besides, I rarely use them anyway. The awning has to be rolled completely out to expose the LEDs. I'm replacing my awning and I have to decide what to do about the 12V wire that runs through the awning seam to power the existing LEDs. I decided it's time to install different LEDs that are more usable. I'm excited
