Led floodlights

[TAZ]

Good evening everyone. Can anyone recommend good quality PIR led flood lights to replace a couple of old 500w pir halogens The wholesaler i use had some on display on the counter. I will admit they were a quality fitting but came with a quality price ( approx £ 149 + vat I am not looking for top of the range but something reliable & has the usual adjustments etc & give roughly the same kind of light output & colour temp as the old halogens, or if there is something else on the market that you might know would serve the same purpose. Kind regards TAZ

would these fittings be any use for lighting a workshop building, or do they cause shadows etc

They are spot on! I don't think that they create any more shading than fluorescent or any other kind of lighting

that's kind of where I fitted the 100w. try and remember to take a pic tomorrow

We installed about 30 of the 50W slimline models for one of the main supermarkets at the same time we replaced their high bays in the loading dock. We got them from Index of /. Just looked though and cant see them at the moment so maybe they've stopped doing them but give them a call...very helpful guys there.

They did say they were moving to new style COB lighting as had better head dissipation and longevity, so perhaps they are between suppliers.

Guys the above slimline lights - do they work via motion detection? Can anyone recommend a good PIR light that works of motion detection. I have been broken into 3 times int he last 6 months and need something done. I would be grateful for your recommendations.

Red Hot Led do a 30 watt with built in PIR. We use the larger ones with an external pir

Can you link me please mate?

What's the PIR range on a built-in one versus an external one?

What do you think of these:

50w Biard LED Floodlight with PIR Motion Security Sensor

I cannot link in for some reason but a google on that should reveal them.

try here for the floods.

a separate PIR makes sense as if the PIR fails, you don't have to replace the LED flood which is the most expensive part of the installation. if you are to the west/south west of manchester, i'd be happy to give you a quote for the install.

Do you have a number please mate? - send me your details to [email protected]

Don't mind me while I bump some old threads. Just doing the rounds. Ignore the thread if it's not current topic, it'll soon drop off the list, but if the thread interests you, feel free to reply.

I'm hesitant about the lamps with integral PIR. I know it saves money and install time, but when manufacturers are cutting cost (who doesn't), I suspect the quality of the electronics in the PIR is one of the first things to suffer. I've certainly had problems with unbranded ones and well as with Mightylite brand. Typically poor stability of PIR sensitivity over temperature, unimpressive coverage, or very difficult to adjust/nonlinear controls.
I had so much trouble with a couple (of the latter variety) recently that after multiple time consuming re-visits, I had to re-wire them internally and fit an external PIR.
Saying that I have had a good Steinel (££) one recently, which did everything properly.
In terms of brightness, you are probably not far off with the 70 W.
& do minimize the settings, the world is drowning in light pollution.

Looks a bit low to the ground :/ lol

What's wrong with it there?

Never heard of uplighters?

A 500w j type halogen putts out around 11000 lumens,
So a LED equivilent your looking at 150w.
Out there but not cheap.

About six months back I replaced two of my outside floods with LEDs from wholesaleledlights.co.uk and have had no probs. 30W LED 2400 lumens was £34.00 plus a solid 50w 4000 lumen with PIR for £56.67. Been very happy with both .

I've been asked to put power to somebodies shed, and they want a light that is going to light up there garden/kennels. What would be the best/cheapest light for this? Would I be best off putting a separate PIR in at the entrance to his garden? As he wants the light to come on as he comes out the door so he can then see where he is walking to and around his kennels
