Hello everyone,
I'm looking for a good quality wall light to illuminate the path to my front drive.
I want something that will accept something like a 60W GLS lamp or CFL equivalent, rather than a linear halogen "floodlight" bulb, and one that has a built-in dawn-dusk sensor.
I recently bought an "IQ Options Wharf bulkhead-style" fitting with a plug-in sensor, for about £24 from Screwfix, but frankly the quality is absolute @%&* and I can't seeing it lasting out the 12-month guarantee. All the plastic lugs that hold the terminal block and lampholder in place have already cracked, as have the corners of the glass. The sensor also fills up with water when it rains.
Any suggestions, please? I'm happy to spend up to £50 or so for something that will last.
BTW, I'm aware of Part P of the Building Regs etc. etc.
Cheers,
Chris.
