Out of interest, is a 10 watt LED truly a 100 watt halogen equivalent?

Highly unlikely... I've put up a 10 W single chip LED light it's
output is around that of a 60 W GLS ina bulkhead fitting. Ample light
to move a round safely etc over an area similar size to the OP.


An estate near to me has lights that are probably 500 watts and are all
pointing straight ahead. Not sure what they are supposed to be illuminating
- other than the houses on the other side of the road.
