lenray -- We have a yard light provided by the electric company for a small monthly fee. Recently, the photo cell that makes the light come on at dusk and off at dawn started acting up. Power company said they could no longer get replacement parts, but that they had an LED replacement light. It would cost me about another $1 per month (as the lights cost the company more), but use much less power. The crew chief also told me they provide more light, and a white light - not the yellow we were used to.
"More" light? You betcha!! Wow, I can see parts of this yard that I didn't know existed at night! *lol*
The brand/model that they buy, plus the supplier they're forced to buy from means their LED lights are quite expensive. However, similar lights on Amazon are VERY reasonable in price!! Look for the customer reviews - see which lights the Amazon customers are most happy with and what the price is.
Ours looks much like this model, except ours is (I think) 50W or 58W - seems like it was an oddball wattage, like 58W:
If I had to guess, I'd say there is likely still the same weak point in these new LED lights as in older lights, and that is the photo cell. Not sure it'll matter whether you get a $50 light or a $250 light, when the photo cell goes bad, if you can't find another, then the only way to continue using the light is to wire-bypass the photo cell and use 1. a manual switch, or 2. a different photo cell that you "can" buy. However, the cost of these lights keep getting lower and lower, so replacement shouldn't be an issue, other than actually "replacing" one.

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
