Very cheap for a 50w, I have installed a 30w version of these and it let water in till it filled up with water and shorted out the LED chip. Had to put in a new chip and then sealed it up with bathroom sealant and it has worked since. Would recommend using a tube of sealant during install between the glass front and the area that reflects out the light to avoid water getting in. Also a lot of these (not sure about the pro elec ones) don't come with an earth so technically they would need a small earth bolt and connection made to meet uk standards.

Applying sealant is very good advice; the same thing happened to me. The Motion Sensor became water logged and stopped working.

Any chance you can provide a few pictures or a step by step guide on how to do this? How does one take it apart to apply the sealant? Does one need to put sealant around the area where the cable exists the case or is there a grommet there that provides adequate protection against the elements? Does one need to seal the PIR around the edges to prevent water ingress? Sorry for all the question but I am sure it will help others. Thanks in advance
Sadly many of these Led Floodlights are like this one only rated at IP44 which you could use in a outside building or covered area. In most gardens you would need at least a rating of IP65.
Careful. I have 3 of these, paid around the same. The 50w ones have a bit of a design flaw. The plastic mount for the PIR is the same length on all sizes of lamp, but the 50w has such a big lens, the PIR at best is pointing down 30 degrees. As such, these needed to be mounted very high indeed, minimum 5m I'd say. The first one I mounted at a height of 2.5m, and the PIR had a range of only 4m, as PIR was looking down too much, even when as high as it would go.

Bought one of these last winter. It's fantastic with a very white light. I'd buy another if I had anywhere to put it.
