Outdoor LED PIR Lights

[murphyabu]

Morning all,

I'm working my way through the house updating rooms and lighting and I need to tackle the exterior lighting at the rear.

At present there are two light fittings fixed about 1.5m apart each with a 50w GU10 bulb, these are operated by a switch in the kitchen. The light they produce is abysmal so they desperately need updating.

As the back of the house backs onto open land (easy access route for a burglar) while I update the lamps I would like to incorporate a PIR as a deterrent to would be thieves.

As well as the new lights acting as a deterrent I would like the new fittings to allow a manual override from the same switch so I can keep the garden illuminated if having a BBQ etc,

Can anyone recommend some fittings which would achieve the above?

Should I be looking at a floodlight with a built in PiR which the second floodlight connects to as a slave, or

A PiR with override capability installed which then feeds a supply to the new floodlights

Thanks

If using LED on PIR, you would require a low load sensor, as some sensors are not capable of switching LED low loads.
Most PIR motion sensors are capable of overriding,

Can you recommend any good/reputable suppliers?

Thanks
