Default Rant about LED floodlights

Already I have had to replace four due to filling with rain water and

You have to replace the whole thing when it's gone dim or starts
flashing, it's not possible to replace either the LED driver PSU or the
led light array.


I now use self amalgamating tape at where the cable enters the cable
gland so that particular issue has stopped.


But no solution yet to having to replace the whole fitting when they
start flashing or go dim.


Chances are - like so many such things - the cost of providing spares
would exceed that of a complete replacement.

If they are filling with rain water, you need to look at how you've
installed them.
