all gone up to crazy prices, wondering if they were all mispriced: screwfix.com/sea…led

I noticed last night that my 50w floodlight was glowing very slightly in the dark. Didn't do that the night before..hmm.

All of the 10 & 20w units were perfect.

:grin:

Well my freshly earthed 50w unit is glowing dimly in the garden... I'll try reversing the live and neutral connections tomorrow.

IP44? Do yourself a favour and buy a better protected unit - this will just fill with water and fail.

Make sure you use a fully qualified electrician to install these guys!

Luceco for me. The name just sounds better. Lap reminds me of Christmas :wink:

What cable do people use for wiring these up? Can't decide between twin and earth black rubber or just flex any ideas guys ?

Qualified electrician, don't make me laugh.you can do it yourself if you are competent on wiring regs, easy to look up on net, as long as you are a practical person?, Comments please

I've got one of my 10w LEDs wired up with only the two wires as that's what was there previously. The light has been working perfectly prior to changing to the new unit last week.

only got black and red electrical cables going into my old light in the back garden. I believe I need to buy a double insulated light which doesn't require an earth cable? are these available to buy anywhere?

Is the brightness full when first or do they take a while to achieve full brightness?

I put a small amount of grease on the thread of the bolts that are used to connect the light unit with the bracket.

I found that my old flood light bolts tend to rust up very easily.

Question - I already have a flood light with no sensor if I was to get this is it a simple straight forward swap/install ?

Is this just the light,u have to buy the cable for power seperately,and do the wiring urself?

With led the wattage doesn't dictate the brightness u need to look at the Lumens

I got two of the Luceco ones last week to replace rather rusty and poor looking ones and they work perfectly. I don't think the light for 10w is too low, but I am using mine to light up over a back door, like a security light more than a floodlight

loads of reviews about these coming on even in daylight?

I got 5 of the 10w non-PIR versions for £2.99 each last week (seeing the original deal), and bought a PIR sensor for a tenner. Wired them up over the weekend... And now when I go to the back porch, I feel like saying 'Let there be light', and there was light!
5 of them put together makes it pretty bright.

Got the 20w, but wouldn't have seen it, if not for the thread here. Cheers all

got the 20w and very happy with it

Thanks ordered that & the lamp that was on the other day. £8.38 a bargain

Get the 20w

get the 20w for about £2 more this is a little weak imo

Personally think the Luceco model for £5.99 is better looking and better quality, bought two last week for new house move and the so called 20 watt Ebay one for £8 was no where as bright on testing between the two.
But for value this is better.
pennyfarthing88 - don't worry you might have bought the better one.
Wolf 2010- already posted yeh but people just come across something they might want but did not do a search, where here just to help after all

Dammit screwfix' I paid £6 for the Luceco version of this last week thanks to a similar deal posted on here :rage:

I'd have bought this one given the chance.

As for the light 10w is ok to cover a small to medium size area - I used mine to light up the inside of my shed at night and it works a treat.

Heat added - great spot OP.
