Acete 100W LED Floodlight PIR Colour Selectable - Grey

The Acete is a 100W LED floodlight with a built-in PIR sensor, running on 220-240V AC and putting out a wide 90 degree beam. Colour selectable across three settings, it switches between warm 3000K, neutral 4000K and cool 6500K, with luminous output adjusting to suit at 8500, 10800 and 9700 lumens respectively. American buyers will recognise this format as a motion-activated security floodlight, the type mounted under an eave or above a doorway to wash a broad area with light the moment movement is picked up. The PIR head triggers the fitting automatically, so the floodlight stays off until it is needed.

Sheltered outdoor positions are where this fitting earns its place: a porch, a carport, a covered entrance or a recessed doorway where it stays clear of direct weather. The wide 90 degree spread throws light across a driveway approach or a side passage rather than concentrating into a single spot, giving even coverage over a sizeable approach area. As a comparison point on brightness, an old halogen floodlight runs at roughly 20 lumens per watt, so the 10800 lumen output here stands in for a halogen unit of around 500W while drawing only 100W. The PIR makes it a practical choice for entrances and access points that only need light on demand.

Construction is aluminium alloy in a grey finish, rated IP44 for splash resistance, which suits sheltered and covered outdoor spots but not fully exposed positions, direct water jets or submersion. The fitting is not dimmable, with light level set by the colour temperature you select rather than a dimmer. Mounting is to a wall or ceiling, and the head can be aimed to cover the area you want watched. Rated for 25,000 hours and weighing 908g, it is a compact unit for its output. The Acete range includes further floodlight options in matching grey if you need to cover more than one approach.

How bright is the 100W Acete floodlight?

It produces up to 10800 lumens depending on the colour temperature you choose, with 8500 lumens at 3000K, 10800 at 4000K and 9700 at 6500K. That is a wide, high-output spread suited to driveways and entrance areas. The 90 degree beam angle keeps the light even across a broad approach rather than concentrated in one spot.

What halogen wattage does it replace?

An older halogen floodlight runs at around 20 lumens per watt, so the 10800 lumen output here is equivalent to roughly a 500W halogen unit. The Acete delivers that brightness while drawing only 100W, which is a substantial saving in running costs. Over its 25,000 hour rated life that difference adds up considerably.

Can it be used outdoors in any position?

No. It is rated IP44, which means it is splash-resistant and suited to sheltered or covered outdoor spots such as a porch, carport or recessed doorway. Keep it clear of fully exposed positions, direct water jets and standing water, as the IP44 rating does not cover those conditions.

How do I clean the floodlight?

Switch off the supply and let the fitting cool, then wipe the lens and aluminium alloy housing with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive pads, which can mark the grey finish and the lens. Keeping the lens clear helps maintain the full light output and the responsiveness of the PIR sensor.
