Fairly cheap led floodlight with a sensor. Yes it's only 10 watt, but that's ok for small back gardens and not to long driveways. It's a screwfix clearance line, so stock probably limited. There are also clearance deals on some different led floodlights with higher wattage, but this seemed best value with the sensor.
Small problem its not IP65 = Protected from total dust ingress & Protected from low pressure water jets from any direction.
its only IP54 = which only protects against limited dust ingress.& Water splashing against the enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effect ie light rain maybe :disappointed:
It would need to be fitted under a over hang :neutral_face:

I haven't used these but to give people an idea of the comparisons, I have replaced a 500w halogen flood with two 10w LED floods. Not quite as bright, but to be honest, that's a good thing, and having two mean I get better coverage of the garden.

Yes that's not a bad deal at all centaurandrew, but it is quite bulky, this one seems quite slimline, plus you can reserve and pick up from your local screwfix, if it's in stock, plus with Amazon, if you're not a prime member, you've got to spend 20 pounds for free delivery, but it's still a good deal.

I've got 2 of these 10W units, one is inside the garage as you walk in and there's no issues with light from it, this was to stop you having to touch the light switch with wet finger after unlocking it. The other is down the garden around the seating area which the cctv picks up now it's lit. I have a 20W outside the garage no issues.
TIP - the sensor come with a foam ring round it for protection, leave it on to narrow the detection zone.
I picked up the 30w for side of the house to light the drive working on the results from above, I got it for £39 on a £20 off offer a few weeks ago.

be wary of the LED lights on amazon, most if not all are not earthed and the said earth wire hangs loose.
