Antem 20W LED Floodlight PIR Sensor - Black

The Antem LED is a compact 20W floodlight with a built-in PIR motion sensor, drawing 1600 lumens of neutral 4000K white light across a wide 100 degree beam. Running on a standard 220-240V AC mains supply, it switches on automatically when movement is detected and runs as an integrated LED unit with no separate bulb to replace. American buyers will recognise the form as an LED security flood light, the kind mounted to throw a broad sheet of light over an entrance or short approach.

Its sheltered IP44 rating makes it a sensible fit for covered outdoor spots such as a porch, a carport or a recessed doorway, as well as utility areas like a garage or storeroom wall. The PIR keeps it suited to occasional, movement-triggered duty rather than constant ambient lighting, so think of it lighting a path to a door, a bin store or a set of steps. The 100 degree beam spreads the 1600 lumens over a fairly broad foreground throw rather than a tight spot, which is what you want for marking an approach as someone walks up to it. Keep it under cover and clear of direct rain or jets, since the IP44 sealing is rated for splashes only.

Built from aluminium alloy for heat dissipation, the housing carries a black finish that sits quietly against most exterior walls. It can be wall, ceiling or surface mounted, and the integrated PIR head sits within the body so there is no extra sensor to wire in. The light is not dimmable, which suits a sensor fitting that is either on or off, and it is rated for around 15,000 hours of use at a steady 80 lm/W. The Antem range also includes a non-sensor version of this floodlight for areas already on a switch.

How bright is it and what does the 20W replace?

It produces 1600 lumens of 4000K neutral white light from a 20W LED. An old halogen floodlight ran at roughly 20 lumens per watt, so this output is close to what an 80W halogen flood would have given, for a fraction of the power draw.

How does the PIR sensor work and where does it suit?

The built-in PIR detects movement and switches the floodlight on automatically, then off again after the set period. It is well suited to entrances, paths, carports and garage walls where you want light only when someone approaches rather than running all night.

Can it be used outdoors?

It carries an IP44 rating, which means it resists splashes and suits sheltered or covered outdoor positions such as a porch or carport. It should not be fitted where it would face fully exposed rain, direct water jets or any submersion.

How should I clean it?

Switch off at the mains and let the unit cool, then wipe the housing and lens with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid solvents or abrasive pads, and take care around the PIR window so the sensor stays clear and responsive.
