With many LED floodlights the LED is directly bolted to
the metal casing which acts as a large heat-sink.

The extra cooling is a useful feature, but it should not eclipse the
far more useful feature of bulb replacement costing £3 not £70.


With the cheapo LED floods, there's a separate PSU rattling about within
the case, but there is a trend for the COB-type to have the driver
electronics incorporated onto the same board, e.g.

The iSpot model I mentioned is like that, with mains L&N soldered direct
to the board (and need a very chunky soldering iron to re-make the
connection due to the aluminium backed PCB)

So there'd need to be a standard form factor and mains connector to
allow them to become user-replaceable.


There are. They're called ES & BC.


what we really need is for them to be plug-inable like remote bell chimes
are
