If you want an all weather lamp that will last for years this is only an IP44 you should go for and IP5X. (X standing for any number 1- 7). If you are not familiar with IP code just search IP code ratings.

It depends on where you are positioning it,if it exposed to wind and rain this will probably fail after a few months.
I would buy a Steinel sensor and connect it to the flood light without a sensor. A bit more expensive but you get a guarantee
I've tried the cheaper options from ebay and the have all failed over the winter .

Actually Mr Mac, if you wanted weather/waterproof you would want an IPX5 or above
The first number is dust rating, second number is water
That's another excellent find. Don't usually get good deals in Maplin! None in stock anywhere near me though

Sorry I got the digits the wrong way around YES IPX5 or above (second digit).
Anyway my point is if you want a lamp to last you need a high IP rating, so anyone reading this will hopefully now know what to look for and have the choice of "do I buy as it is cheap or do I look for a high(er) IP rating" your call now you know there is a standard. Most people would not have know what the IP44 means, in my eyes not good for a heavy winter.

how good are led floodlights compared to the traditional bulb type?

The 30W led has 2100 Lumens which I believe is equivalent to a 120W Halogen light
The 10W LED has 700 lumens which would be good enough for an alleyway or pointing straight down at a patio or something similar.

I've got through a few pir lights, most of them only IP44 rated, but I never had one fail due to water ingress, probably because the lights were pointed downwards so all the points where they might leak, like the seal around the glass and the adjustment screws were located at the bottom so if they were to leak any rain in, the water could run straight back out.
I did have one once that I bought from either screwfix or B&Q (can't remember which), where the aluminium of the case rapidly disintegrated and the front fell off.

They have run out of 30W floodlights (with and without PIR) so I have expired this deal.
They still have plenty of 10W floodlights for £10, but these aren't great.

Looks like they have some of the non-PIR 30W version back in stock
