30W Security Lights with Motion Sensor, Super Bright 3000 Lumen PIR Flood Light, IP65 Waterproof LED Sensor Floodlight Outdoor, 6500K Cool White, without Power Cable, Perfect for Garage Garden Pathway

This light is fantastic as a security light or driveway light. It is very bright and quite sensitive to movement. Fitting is easy and wiring is simple. Our previous security light was purchased from screwfix for a similar price and is nowhere near as good as this one.

I’d recommend to other buyers as it meets my requirements

used in back garden 30 watt output .but smaller in size than a lot of others very good.

I did wonder whether I should have gone for a pre-wired one when I had trouble finding a suitable lead for this. The lead I had in mind came from an old electric lawnmower, but turned out to be only two-core, despite its round outer insulation. You need quite a fat round three-core flex for this to be able to seal out moisture. I wanted to mount it under the eaves of the garage, and run the wire inside to plug into a socket, thus avoiding the need to hard-wire it, which would require an electrician legally. I found a nice fat kettle/PC cable, of which I have lots, cut the plug off, and wired the cut end to the light’s waterproof connector. This is straightforward, if you remember to thread the fittings in the right order, since the mains plug is moulded and can’t be removed. The screws on the light’s connector are very small, and need tightening carefully with a well-fitting screwdriver. I threaded the assembled round plug end through the corrugated roofing sheet and the plug just reached a mains socket.
The light’s flat strip metal bracket can be removed for fixing, in this case a single screw in the centre hole fixed to the wooden fascia under the gutter. All very easy and quick. Re-mount the light unit to the bracket, adjust angle, plug in the connector, leaving a loop of wire hanging down to prevent water running into the fitting, and switch on. Brilliant light, almost painful to look at. The sensor below the light unit can be rotated and swivelled to suit the desired detection range, and also for easier access to the two controls. One adjusts the operating period from on all the time, steplessly through to night-time operation only. The other varies the on-time between about three seconds all the way up to about nine minutes. The sensor is very responsive, and has a good range. The unit is well-made and should last. Overall, a big improvement on the bulkier power-hungry halogen unit it replaces. Recommended.

We are still waiting for an electrician friend to be available to fit this for us and we will update the review based on actual use once properly installed.

In the meantime our rating is based on trusting the specs and description:-

Wire length = 1.5 Metres

Beam Angle = 120

IP65 which means: 6 = Totally dust tight providing full protection against dust and other particulates, which should include a vacuum seal, tested against continuous airflow. 5 = Protection against low-pressure jets (6.3 mm) of directed water from any angle (limited ingress permitted with no harmful effects).

Decent sensor light for small area of our back garden – noting that we’ve opted for a more powerful intruder deterrent motion sensor covering the driveway.

I used this 30W LED light to replace an old halogen PIR light at the corner of our building. The cable was already in place so it was simple to remove the old light and replace it with this one. What a difference!! My driveway and garden are fully illuminated by a bright white light. The motion sensor works a treat and has a wide field of sensitivity – no dancing around required to activate it. The timer function is easy to set and adjust. Much more economical than the halogen which also tended to leak a bit and blew the bulbs – this is watertight. Perfect!

I’ve put this motion sensor light up above our garage door. Boy is it bright. Lights up the whole drive area when it turns itself on. Picks up motion from anywhere within about 15 feet (further or less of course if you angle it differently). It didn’t come with a power cable but it was easy enough to fit a two core lead to it and run it through to the power socket in the garage itself. So far the light has been out in a variety of weathers (lots of rain, lots of hot sun) and works just as it when first fitted. Great for putting off anyone from approaching the garage in the dark or just illuminating our drive are when we come home at night.

This security light comes in a nicely branded box inside which the light is lightly wrapped in plastic. You also get a decent English only instruction manual. Like most this has a good fixing bracket which provides a lot of versatility for positioning. As it comes without cable, to install the light you will need to connect some 3 core flex to it, so you need to know how to fix it to your mains or outside box, or get an electrician to do the job. You also need to follow the instructions precisely to do the job properly especially to protect against water ingress. As it’s IP65 rated, you’re best placing it somewhere where it’s unlikely to ever get a lot of water cascading onto it (e.g. under a leaking gutter).

Once installed you have some options on what amount of time you want the light on for and whether you want it to come on only at night or anytime 24/7. It may take a bit of tweaking to get the timing right but it’s a simple dial mechanism so easy enough to change it if it’s easily accessible.

It has a brilliant cool white light which certainly lights up any area within 120 degrees of where it’s sited so good enough for basic home gardens and yards. Certainly better light coverage than with similar solar options.

Feels well made and lits up the earth quite well. This particular model comes without a cable and it is a little tricky to install as it a 3 pin connector. The sensor seems to work well also. Overal is a good quality product.
