Description
This floodlight does two jobs at once: it lets you choose the colour of the light, and it switches itself on when someone approaches. The colour temperature is adjustable, so you can set it warmer or cooler to suit where it is going rather than living with one fixed shade for the life of the fitting. The PIR sensor sits on its own pivoting head beneath the lamp body, so it can be aimed independently of the beam. It draws 10W, carries an IP65 rating, and the housing, bracket and sensor are all finished in black.
A floodlight of this size is for the working corners of a property rather than for washing light across a whole garden: a back door, a side passage, the run between a garage and the house, a bin store, a parking space or a workshop entrance. The stirrup bracket has slotted fixing holes and a screw at each side, so once the bracket is on the wall the head tilts to the angle you want and locks there. Mount it high enough that the sensor looks out across the approach rather than straight down at the ground, and it will catch people as they arrive rather than once they are already underneath.
Once it is wired in there is no switch to think about: the sensor does the switching, and the colour temperature is chosen on the unit when you install it. The manufacturer does not publish a lumen output, a beam angle or a detection range for this model, so if you are working to a figure, ask before you order. It is sold as a single floodlight with a minimum order of one, and we also list the matching 10W IP65 CCT adjustable floodlight in black without the PIR sensor.

Frequently Asked
What does CCT adjustable actually mean here?
You set the colour of the light on the fitting itself rather than buying a fixed warm or cool version. The manufacturer does not list which settings are offered, so make the choice when you install it.
Can this floodlight be dimmed?
The manufacturer does not state whether it will work on a dimmer, so we cannot list it as dimmable. A sensor floodlight is normally left at full output and controlled by the PIR.
Does it only come on when it detects movement?
Yes, the PIR switches the light on when it picks up movement in front of it. The manufacturer does not publish how long the light then stays on, or whether that time can be altered.
Does it take a separate bulb?
No, the LEDs are built into the head, so there is nothing to change and no cap to match against an old fitting. When the LEDs reach the end of their life, the whole unit is replaced.
How is it fixed to the wall?
It mounts on the black stirrup bracket, which has slotted holes for the fixings and a screw on each side, so the head can be tilted to the angle you want and locked there.
Is it suitable for use outside?
It carries an IP65 rating, which covers dust ingress and low pressure water jets from any direction, so an exposed outdoor wall is within what that rating allows.
