Default External Security Light with LEDs

What about two smaller ones?

My external Security Light has finally given up the ghost and needs to be
replaced.

Its got a 300 Watt halogen bulb in it, which was dead handy for
illuminating
the back of the house if i needed to be doing something out there and it
was
a bit dark.

I thought i would try to get a replacement that uses LEDs, instead of a
Halogen Bulb. One that approximated the 300 Watt Halogen Bulb light-output
would be ideal.

Does anyone know if there is a fairly decent Security Light now on the
market that would do this, and have a similar lightoutput ? Thanks

The only 300w equivalent that I know of is a Steinel XLED25 but it is
a bit expensive.

I looked at them some time ago but given the likely operating savings
against initial cost I went for their HS500W fitting
http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/STHS500W.html with a 230/300w
halogen lamp.
Steinel kit is well made and reliable given my experience with their
sensors over many years.
