Best Inexpensive Lightheads

I have a non-warning, non-emergency project that needs some reasonably high output lights. I’m currently using SOS Led3 minis but want something brighter.

I was leaning towards the Feniex Fusion as they run about $50/head. The lights may get some occasional rain but exposure but they’ll be stationary so wind won’t be pushing water in.

Is there anything at a better price point I should be considering?

What type of project? Look into superbrightleds.com. I've bought everything from bulbs to heads to parts from them and no disappointments yet.

The feniex t3 is probably the cheapest quality light you will find that will steady burn. $29 each plus our standard site discount takes almost $3 off of them.

I dug into the manual and this model has a steady burn mode:

They call it a "18 watt" light...so they obviously have no idea what the hell they're talking about.

6leds x 3w per led =18w.
HOWEVER...when it comes to LEDs lumens mean more than watts. Given the project being referred to here I'd say those would work just fine.

Would I put those on my POV or dept truck, prolly not. I'd have to test them out real life first.

It's bullcrap. First off, even if the LED is actually 3 watt (which most are not), they aren't run at full power. Second, the wattage of a light isn't calculated by adding up the combined wattage of each LED. It uses 3 watt LEDs, so it's a 3 watt light. It's a marketing ploy to just starting adding up random figures.
