Need new LED large Flood light
I am replacing all siding on house and with it all external light fixtures. I have all the spot lights covered, but I had a large 500W Halogen flood mounted at top of gable over garage that was super bright and did a great job lighting up driveway / basketball court. It's a rather large cast aluminum affair with an 8 x 8" clear tempered glass lens. I'd like to find something equally bright but 38 years newer and naturally more energy efficient.
Part of my search frustration is most of them come with a dusk to dawn mode and my neighbors would shoot me(or it) if I did that. Just need a simple light, controlled by a simple wall switch, that can be seen from the space station, for a reasonable price, lol.

Black out the auto light sensor with paint or duct tape so it thinks it's always night then a regular wall switch to turn it on/off as needed.
