Can an electrician "in the know" please advise if it is ok to use the subject bulbs in outside PIR Security lights?
I`ve bought two new lights and part of the installation info says energy saving bulbs should NOT be used in PIR lights and to use GLS E27 bulbs.
No probs with this but I previously installed two other PIR lights elsewhere outside my house and they were supplied with PIR bulbs.
Different manufacturers I suppose so I emailed the retailer B & Q for both lights for a definitive answer and all they can say is they cant contact the supplier`s as they are now out of business.
What i`m really asking, is it safe etc to use these bulbs in these lights?
Any info gratefully appreciated.
Thanks
Mike
