Sure. You'll need housings to existing floodlights that accept a BR30 or PAR38 bulb first. I have like four pre-exsiting Red Dot floodlights in bronze that came installed on my house, so I was already good. The Ring Floodlight and Red Dot have bulb housings that share an industry standard 3/4" thread that will screw into each other.
With the Ring floodlight cam you'll need to Uncrimp and unscrew the puck shaped transformer attached to the inside of the floodlight. Now there are three wires coming off the cam: Black, White and Red. Two wires coming off the bulb housings each: Black and white. And the three wires coming from the wall: Black, white, green.
Connect the black cam wire to the hot (black) wire coming from the wall.
Connect all of the white (neutrals) wires together.
Connect the red lead cam wire to the remaining black wires coming off bulb housings.
Green wire to ground at the housing.

And that's it! Everything else works the same. You'll just now have the option to turn on the cam lights and change the color if you want. But they will go back to white when triggered by the motion sensor if woken from a powered-off state.
