50W IP65 CCT Adjustable Floodlight - Black

A floodlight built around a 50W LED array, set behind a frosted front panel that spreads the output rather than leaving the diodes bare to look at. The housing is black, and a stirrup bracket is bolted through both sides so the head tilts up or down and locks where you leave it. CCT adjustable is the part worth understanding before you buy: the colour temperature is selected on the fitting instead of being fixed when it was made, so one unit covers both a warmer and a cooler light. The manufacturer does not state the individual settings, and no lumen output is given.

IP65 is the code that decides where a fitting like this belongs. The first digit, six, means dust cannot get in at all; the second, five, means water from a jet in any direction will not get in either. That covers the wall above a driveway, a yard or a side passage, the gable end of a garage, a workshop or a stable block, and a commercial unit where a whole area needs lighting rather than a path marking. A cable gland sits at the rear, so this is wired into a fixed circuit rather than plugged in, which is work for a qualified electrician.

There is no sensor lens in the face, so the light comes on with whatever switch, timer or photocell feeds the circuit, and movement detection has to come from a separate device if you want it. Nothing is printed about dimming, so we would treat it as a switched fitting until the manufacturer says otherwise. Each listing is one floodlight and the minimum order is a single unit, so you can buy one for a side wall without taking a carton. If 50W is more than the space needs, a 10W version in the same black finish sits alongside it in our floodlight range.

What does CCT adjustable mean on this floodlight?

The colour temperature is chosen on the fitting rather than fixed in the factory, so the same unit can give a warmer or a cooler light. The manufacturer does not list the individual settings.

Can I put it on a dimmer?

Nothing about dimming is printed for this floodlight, so treat it as a switched fitting and keep it on a plain switched circuit until the manufacturer confirms otherwise.

How bright is 50W on an LED floodlight?

No lumen figure is given for this unit, so the wattage is the only guide. Compare it against other fittings by wattage, and expect it to light an area rather than pick out a single doorway.

Does it come with a plug and lead?

There is a cable gland at the rear for wiring into a fixed supply, so mounting it is an electrician's job rather than a plug and socket one.

Can I aim the light once it is mounted?

The stirrup bracket bolts through both sides of the housing and lets you tilt the head up or down, then holds that angle once the side bolts are tightened.

Will it cope with rain, dust and a hose?

IP65 means no dust ingress at all and protection from water jetted from any direction, which covers driving rain and washing down the wall it sits on.
