I've got the same one, they take es bulbs and if you do put a cfl or led in there there isnt much more space than a regular halogen bulb. if you can live within those restrictions, which I could its great. I use corn cob style led in mine and its got loads of light. It also has a reflector behind the bulb.
It's also got a point where you can connect an external light connected in parallel with the built in light, which I use to power a bulk head light nearby.
hope this helps....

Great find penny

Got one of these and it's still going strong. Doesn't look amazing but it works well.

Are these easy to fit?

Need a strong wall to put it on its a bit heavy !! :smirk:

Also they have Interior Varnish Gloss at half price £4.99 for 750ml if anyone needs any, heat added

Another good find, well done.

Isn't IP44 an anti-splash rating for bathroom applications?

Dunno' just copied and pasted the info from Screwfix website - ours is outside in all weathers no issues yet

Great light unless you have an uphill drive, then even with half the |PIR taped off you still get detections from cars going past or people on the pavement. Still in use though :wink:

Not in the one I purchased today.

good find Pf, heat added :smiley: busy day, sorry missed it :confused:

No worries still plenty in stock my friend so you've not missed it yet :laughing:

Can anyone confirm if this light fitting is capable of switching other lighting.

thanks

Dumb question..
Can this be wired to run from a 3 pin mains plug, or does it need to be connected to the lighting circuit?

Anyone know if you can turn the PIR off on this and leave on all the time sometimes should you wish? Also, can you link several together on one light system?

Thanks, did not see this light reduction on their website or brochure before. Looks like plenty of stock as it say order and collect the next day . For those on their mailing list look for the voucher sent last week for a free power bank.

IP44 (ingress Protection 44) means that the device should not have any gaps greater than 1mm and water splashing against the enclosure from any direction will have no harmful effect. However, if you buy an IP65 rated device and do not reseal your entry points with IP65 rated fittings you might end up with something worse than IP44. Screwfix should really make this clearer.

Thank you ordered one

​it was from ebay.. sorry i cant find the link... especially when there a squillion items that look identical... and quality will vary..

​as ling as the height and width of the bulb isnt more than a standard halogen then you should be fine

​yes you can, I have . no hacks required as the relay supports hundreds of watts.

​no overide but you can power the bulb independantly as well to override the internnal switched pir

Thanks for the link.
It's to be plugged into the side of my garage which has mains plug sockets, but no lighting circuit.
So the plug will be inside.

Ah, I see. In that case it would be perfectly legal to fit a flex, drill a hole through the wall to a plug and use the socket. If the light is not permanently connected (not wired in to the power or light circuit) then it will not be notifiable work. It still must be protected by a 30mA RCD (you could fit a RCD plug or socket if the DB does not have one covering that circuit - if the garage is a long way from the DB I'd fit another RCD anyway). Use some exterior flex (you should be able to find someone to sell you a few meters rather than buy a whole reel) and include a drip loop on the outside). .
