Hi everyone,
I`m looking at more external lighting for the house. We currently have 3
x 300W floodlights for parties, but it`s all or nothing, and it`s a lot of
power to burn just for checking something out in the back garden. I was
in B&Q the other day and spotted some PIR floodlights that use LED`s.
They also had a solar charging unit for this. I quite like the idea of
being able to just put it on the wall and leave it turned on, so I get
some light at night but not the scary amounts I get from the current 900W
of lights :-)

Has anyone used them, or seem them working in the real world? And if so,
opinions please!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Not the same thing but I got an LED spotlight to light up a gargoyle in our
back garden and it was crap. These things have a long, long way to go yet to
being an acceptable source of light. Took it back to B&Q and swapped it for
a "traditional" spotlight - excellent.
