LED Floodlight Q

[RickH]

I have a number of Halogen outside floodlights, these are die cast bodies … bought as good quality at the time.
They have suffered in salt air environment so need to change them, so will obviously move to LED now.

The existing lights had 20mm female thread so I connected up with 20mm nylon screw in glands connected to flexible pvc conduit, which then routes into house.
Many I see have a pre-wired cable that would not be so easy to use.

Q 1. Anybody know of quality LED fittings that have 20mm threaded entries.

Q 2. Any recommendations on makes of floods to consider.

I would just install Diall led r7s !

Thanx … but that does not meet need of having to change the floods, corroding and no longer waterproof.

Just install PAR38 LEDs in appropriate ES Fittings

Used PAR38 many times, but for spotlights though, it’s wide spread flood, long throw lighting I need.

Q1 fit a 20mm thro box or angle box and adaptor
Q2 anything with a 3/5 warranty eg V-TAC

Not sure what you mean by a ‘20 mm tho box’. Do you have a link for one ?
sort of assuming you might mean one of these …. Ideal need 20mm female threaded ….. otherwise I guess I’d need to solvent weld on sone cable glands.

Through Box 20mm - Marshall-Tufflex

Through box for use with 20mm conduit. PVC-U plain bored boxes are suitable for suspending loads of up to 3kg centrally at 60?C maximum. Fixing centres at 50.8mm and fitted with M4 brass inserts.

Most would mount a squarish box adjacent, I prefer plain sided boxes and drill own holes, though most use 3 x 3 threaded wiska 306 boxes but I think there ugly with all the unused outlets.
There's also a smaller 206 box
Often you can visibly loose them behind the fitting.

Both boxes have 20mm thread built in and usually come with 3 wagos inside for your cable.
Gland your conduit or flexi into one side and use a flex gland for the flex from the fitting

One can (at least, I have in the past!) get PAR38 LEDs with a range of beam angles, from narrow 'spotlight' to wide ('flood lights').

Of course, for a given amount of light output "wider spread" means "less throw" (and vice versa) - so you might possible have a problem with your apparent desire for "wide spread and long throw"
