https://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/8906292/Trail/searchtext%3EFLOODLIGHT.htm What does it mean "Warm up time to 60% light instant full light" Does it not come on fully at first? Is it good for a driveway?

Good for a driveway, they're saying that unlike the older sodium, mercury vapour (orange and blue/green street lights ) and CFL lights that took time to produce a usable light, these are full intensity from power on. That said, like most lights, if they are turned on and off by a sensor, the life may be shortened if the sensor is switching on a regular (short) basis

Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁
