I want to add some floods to the front of my house. Who are the current US based suppliers. I really don’t want to buy from RayWu for this because I would like to buy one and get it working before I buy probably a total of 6. Also what wattages do people use. I see wired watts has 10W ones. How bright are those and how wide to the cover. I have a standard ranch style house. I’m on my phone so I don’t have a good front pic of my house. I can get one off my laptop later and post it. Woulda single 10W cover an 8’ wide garage door? Thanks for your input.

I see no one has answered your questions, so I'll pass on what I know.
Sizes run from 10W, 20W, 50W and some 100W. Power sources can be DC power supplied by you, or you can get them that are "self powered" (Line Voltage to each with a control source running along side.)
I prefer the self powered because of the low numbers of DC units that would run off of a standard power supply.
There are quite a few reviews online about brightness of each, including some side by side comparisons. Before we changed "the look", we used 5 ea 20W units across the front of our house. The house is 38 feet wide and the use of 5 gave us the ability to put different colors up in different sections. There was a demo up here that showed a single 100W unit lighting up a home. It looked great, but single source doesn't leave much room for adding sequencing.
I do have the suggestion that you go for substantial units that can be dimmed down as to not overwhelm your pixels (if you are using them).

I haven’t seen these. Where do you get them and are they 120VAC powered and DMX controlled? I would use an ESPixel stick for control. I do have pixels in some places around where these floods would go but I also have LED light strings so either way these need to accent those and not overwhelm them.I prefer the self powered because of the low numbers of DC units that would run off of a standard power
