LED Floodlights

[DeadBeat]

Does anyone have any experience with the cheaper LED Floodlights you can find online?

The outside light at home is not much use and id like to replace it, however I have a feeling id be disappointed with the output of the LED floodlights.

something like this

I bought a cheap one from Ebay 18mths ago, still working well, don't think I paid as much as that for it.

A 50watt LED floodlight is a huge amount of light.

What exactly are you wanting to illuminate/how many watts is your existing one?

I have 20W LED PIR floods front and back - they are slightly less bright than a 150W halogen and perfectly adequate for illuminating front & back garden for the CCTV and coming and going. I guess it depends on how much light you want/think you need.

I have bought one from Amazon for £6.62 that looks like the CPC one.

It is the 10 watt version, but it is phenomenally bright. As it was replacing a 150 watt halogen I had my doubts, but it is fine.
Only drawback is it has a short flex. Easily sorted with a waterproof j/box.

I used to be impressed by those cheap 10,30 & 50w flood lights, the boys must have fitted a couple of hundred - but of the last 40 there's been in excess of a 50% failure rate....

Looking for a different brand not Chinese made brand, but still need to be sensibly priced and robust

great might be worth a risk as long as i can send it back, looks like 20 or 30w will do as well. thanks guys

Unfortunately there isn't much out there which isn't Chinese made. Even your iPhone made by American giant Apple, is manufactured in China.

I've just ordered some 240W LED lights from Germany. Can't wait to see how bright they are

I've got a string of bulkhead lights I use for temporary purposes.

And also a bunch of 36V 400W lamps.

If I can find some G6.35 lampholders that don't cost too much and can easily be made to fit the bulkheads (and I can actually be rsed to do it), I'm going to see what 7 or 8 in series looks like.

might build myself a stand to mount a couple on for working in the dark, could be handy
