An outdoor light with diffusing and translucent light panels movably attached to a mounting base electronically coupled to a lighting controller. Each movable panel is positioned adjacent to a light source that is electronically connected to the lighting controller. Each panel is also attached to a heat sink which is adjacent to and in thermal engagement with the light source. In one embodiment, the heat sink is centered on the light panel. The heat sink may be hollowed or wrapped around the light panel for multidirectional light distribution. In other embodiments, the outdoor light includes various sensors and remote-control features electronically coupled to the lighting controller.
