thoughts on induction floodlights

[dbaplaya]

I was going to change the 300w flood on the drive to a 50w LED with PIR. Looked around and saw this 40W induction which apparently gives double the light of a HID unit but they last 80-100k hours so better than LED I guess.

Anyone used these and would they be suitable for use with a PIR? They apparently take a few seconds to warm up.

Why not ask the seller?

How big is the area you're trying to light? A 10W LED is normally enough for a standard domestic drive, and 30W would be more than enough.

Not had much to do with induction lighting, but I know for sure LED works well, and will give you trouble free service for years to come.

I used to love the GE Genura induction lamps.

There are two opposing views on the frequent switching on induction lamps. The lamps should be able to cope as there are no electrodes, but the control gear can fail if required to switch on and off frequently.
We have induction high bays on our site and they give good output, on a par with MH but less running costs.
