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.

What about two smaller ones?

CPC were punting their range the other day:

The 50W is on special offer if you use this link:

I've had one mounted outside for 6 months now.
£10.00 and excellent value.

I used two Lloydtron 30W ones from CPC in order to get the coverage I
wanted, and I've used a fair few of the 10W ones, and they've all been
absolutely fine.

One point is that the beam of light is extremely wide, so you can mount
these lights close to the target area.

With the best will in the world, I don't see an AA powered LED matching
a 300W halogen ...

Always amazed how many 300 - 500 watt floodlights are poorly situated and
aimed. People try to illuminate the air with them! (This group excepted of
course)

He said it's what it's got - not what it needs.
How many people need a 300 Watt halogen to light their drive ?

I've used these

with these

www.screwfix.com/p/180-standalone-pir/36316

to switch them.

More than bright enough.
