Acete 10W PIR LED Floodlight Colour Selectable IP44 - Grey

The Acete is a compact 10W LED floodlight with a built-in PIR motion sensor, drawing on 220-240V AC mains. It puts out up to 1080 lumens across a wide 90 degree beam, washing a broad area of light the moment movement is detected rather than throwing a tight, distant spot. American buyers shopping for a small security flood light will recognise this format straight away. The white tone is colour selectable, switching between 3000K warm white, 4000K neutral white and 6500K daylight, so the same fitting can read soft and welcoming or crisp and functional depending on where it goes.

At this output the Acete works as a responsive task and security light rather than a long-throw area floodlight. The 90 degree beam and PIR pairing make it well suited to a porch, doorway, carport or covered side passage, lighting the immediate approach as someone arrives and then switching off again to save energy. With a 10W draw and an old halogen floodlight running at roughly 20 lumens per watt, this LED replaces a small halogen flood of around 50W while staying far cooler and cheaper to run. Mount it at a height where the sensor can sweep the path or entrance you want covered, keeping the lens angled across the approach for the most reliable triggering.

The body is aluminium alloy in a grey finish, rated IP44 for splash resistance, which makes it right for sheltered and covered outdoor positions such as porches and carports as well as indoor utility areas. It is not intended for fully exposed locations facing direct rain or water jets. The fitting carries integrated LEDs rated to 25,000 hours, so there is no bulb to replace, and it is not dimmable. It can be ceiling or wall mounted and weighs only 264g, keeping installation straightforward. The wider Acete range includes higher-wattage floodlights for larger areas if you need more reach.

How bright is the Acete and what halogen does it replace?

It produces up to 1080 lumens from a 10W draw, with 860 lumens in warm white and 970 in daylight depending on the tone selected. Against an old halogen floodlight at around 20 lumens per watt, that is roughly the equivalent of a 50W halogen flood, while using a fraction of the energy.

How does the PIR sensor work and where should it be mounted?

The built-in PIR detects movement and switches the floodlight on automatically, turning it off again after the path clears. Mount it on a wall or ceiling at a height where the sensor can sweep across the approach you want covered, such as a doorway or driveway entrance, for the most reliable detection.

Can the Acete be used fully outdoors?

No. With its IP44 rating it is splash-resistant and suited to sheltered or covered outdoor spots like porches and carports, as well as indoor utility areas. It should not be fitted in fully exposed positions facing direct rain or water jets.

How do I clean and maintain it?

Switch off the supply, let the fitting cool and wipe the lens and grey aluminium body with a soft, slightly damp cloth, avoiding solvents or abrasive cleaners. Keeping the lens clear helps both light output and reliable PIR detection, and as the LEDs are integrated and rated to 25,000 hours there is no bulb to replace.
