50W IP65 CCT Adjustable PIR Sensor Floodlight - Black

This is a 50W LED floodlight with a passive infrared sensor built into the underside, so the light works on movement rather than on a switch someone has to remember. The body is black, flat fronted and shallow, with a fold out bracket that lets you angle the head down once the fixing is in. It carries an IP65 rating, which means dust tight and protected against water jets from any direction, so it can sit on an outside wall through a British winter. The white light is CCT adjustable, so the colour of the light is chosen on the fitting rather than fixed at manufacture.

Floodlights of this output suit a driveway, a side passage, a back yard or the approach to a garage or workshop, where you want a wide wash of light across a whole area rather than a pool on one spot. The sensor earns its keep anywhere hands are full: coming home with shopping, taking bins out after dark, or unloading a van. On a commercial site it works over a loading area, a compound gate or a small car park. Mount it high enough that the sensor looks across the space you want covered rather than straight down at the wall below it.

Wiring is a mains connection, so this is a job for an electrician or a competent installer working to the current regulations. Setting the colour warmer keeps the light gentler close to a house, while the cooler end reads crisper across a drive or a yard. The manufacturer does not state a lumen figure, a beam angle or any dimming information. It is sold as a single floodlight and the minimum order is one. If 50W is more than the space needs, we also list a 10W CCT adjustable floodlight in black.

Does it stay lit all the time, or only when something moves?

The sensor triggers the light on movement within its detection area and switches it off again once movement stops, rather than burning all night.

Can I change the colour of the light after it is fitted?

Yes. The colour temperature is adjustable on the fitting itself, so you can set warmer or cooler white without swapping the unit for another model.

Will it cope with rain, wind and frost on an outside wall?

It is rated IP65, meaning dust tight and protected against water jets from any direction, which covers an exposed exterior wall or gable.

How high should it be mounted for the sensor to work well?

Fit it high enough to look across the area you want covered, angled slightly down, so people crossing the space pass through the detection field.

Can I put it on a dimmer?

The manufacturer does not state any dimming information for this floodlight, so treat it as a switched fitting and do not wire it to a dimmer.
