Look nice with a few neat features.
INSTALLATION
The installation was pretty easy, and the package came with two install brackets. However, the electrical lamp box on my outer wall was installed at a 45 degree angle, meaning that the screw holes did not line up properly with the groves on the included bracket. This prevented me from properly orienting the lamp, and instead i had to install it askew. There should have been a better solution to this issue.
LIGHTING
The lamp is wonderfully bright, and allows for changing the color temperature of the light. This is a great feature to give your outdoors just the lighting they need. Additionally, the two heads are extremely maneuverable, and you can position the lights in almost any direction.
APP & SETUP
The bluetooth setup was quite easy, and the lamp paired almost instantly with my phone. You must be near the lamp to complete the setup. If you stray too far away, it won't connect.
The app is quite nice, but limited in functionality. It allows for setting timers, color temp, and brightness for any number of connected HALO Home lamps. It also allows scheduling, which is excellent for multiple separate lights.
However, there are a number of noticeable missing items here:
No motion detection
No light detection (sunset/sunrise)
No dimming setting: only one fixed brightness
These missing knobs definitely limit what you can do with this lamp.
SUMMARY
If you're looking to connect lights, and adjust the brightness & color temperature, then these HALO Home lamps can't be beat. Aside from those specific tweaks, they are short on a number of basic external lighting features, such as motion or light detection. App is easy to use.

I like this white smart Bluetooth outdoor Led Flood light by Halo. I got this for my back door so it would light up my backyard at night. I think having a bright light is a deterrent to someone coming into my yard at night. This light is very bright but can be dimmed so you can set it at a level that you want. You can turn it anyway you want to light the area that’s most important to you. You can also adjust the color from cool to warm tones.

HALO Home FTS Bronze Smart Bluetooth Outdoor Integrated LED Flood Light with Tunable Color Temperature (3000K-5000K), Dimmable
This is a quality all metal construction flood light that is Blue Tooth enabled. Comes with a great set of instructions. It comes with everything to mount to an eve box or a wall box. The mounting covers are color matched to the fixture. The electrical hookups are extremely easy through the push connectors that are already on the fixture side wiring. All electrical components on the fixture are accessible and labeled. The Halo Home application is a nice plus with ability to set the color temp of the light plus set schedules for the light to come on and turn off. The fixture is accessed by BlueTooth and not WiFi which would have been a real plus.
Pros:
All metal contraction
All parts needed to mount
Ability to mount to a wall box or eve box
Color matched mounting covers
Ease of hook up
Great instructions
BlueTooth enabled
Cons:
It is not WiFi enabled

The Halo Home LED floodlight FTS20CW by Eaton (OMSID 305444335) is a nifty fixture that you can easily control by Bluetooth. Simply download the free app from your App Store and once power is applied to the fixture you can turn it on and off and control brilliance with your phone. While you must be within about 100' for Bluetooth to work, a WiFi bridge (sold separately) allows you to control it from anywhere. Once it is synced to your device it cannot be controlled by another device until you remove it from yours. The fixture is well made and all the parts necessary to install it on a flush mounted box are included. I mounted mine on a 4"-round, surface-mount, weatherproof box that I got at The Home Depot (OMSID 204208042). Following the complete installation instructions, it mated perfectly with the fixture's included adapter plate and gasket. I am impressed with the quality and fit and finish of the die-cast aluminum components. Once installed the heads are easily directed where you want them. It comes with a 5-year limited warranty.

Very nice full of choices for all the people who want to change color of light and who want to play with the light with their phone, or just want a switch or motion sensor to operate. Fixture is very easy to install just but up the mourning box and wire it up and then you just need to download the app and you can control all, on & off, dimming, color of light, even group more than one fixture, Schedule when light is to be on like 8 to 12 etc.. This is a state of the art fixture for all the folks who like all who like all on the phone control
Easy installation & setup, adjustable bright LED lights, excellent that it features Bluetooth control & WiFi control with separate adapter.

Just Awful
Installation is pretty straightforward but the Bluetooth is TERRIBLE. Tried to mount 2 of these on the back corners of my house and they are IMPOSSIBLE to use or even sync with the weak BT signal - range is maybe a foot. They're AWFUL

Decent product, limited range
I love the lights themselves and the control features. The only drawback to me is you basically have to be within 10-15 feet of them when controlling them with the app, connected via Bluetooth. That makes it rather impractical in my book. They would be a million times better and a 5 star product if they worked on your WiFi network instead and could be controlled from anywhere. The schedule feature is nice. The brightness and color temp features are very nice as well. Overall, it's a quality product, just limited control.

Great light for the price. I used it to replace an old Halogen light that kept burning out.
I am very pleased with this one. My family likes being able to adjust the color and brightness with an app.

Advertised as compatible with Google Assistant. As usual YouTube videos show that a bridge is needed. I purchased a bridge and still can't get light to work with Google Assistant. Disappointing product

i purchased 2 they were easy to mount and bluetooth was the easiest to get going compared to kasa kevo and ring. but it’s bluetooth only no wifi and the dimming has low use for me anyway as i typically have them up full with a ring motion sensor controlling the on off.

This light is bright and lights well but, if you apply the blue tooth function you are the only person who can control the light. (This means no one else can turn the light on or off) The blue tooth distance is very limited.
