IQ-LED 20W PIR LED Floodlight IP65 - Black

The IQ-LED is a compact 20W LED floodlight with a built-in PIR sensor, drawing 2300 lumens at a neutral 4000K white from a 220-240V AC supply. The 100 degree beam spreads light across a wide area rather than throwing a tight spot, which suits doorways, drives and side returns where you want the whole approach lit the moment someone arrives. For US buyers this sits in the security-flood category, the PIR-activated outdoor flood you mount above an entrance or over a garage. At 115 lm/W it puts out a usable, even wash without running a heavy load.

The PIR head makes this a security and access fitting rather than a constant-on work light, so it is best placed where movement should trigger light: front and back doors, garden gates, the gap beside a garage, or a short driveway. With its 100 degree spread the floodlight covers a broad foreground close to the wall rather than reaching far down the garden, so mount it to overlook the area you actually want to detect and illuminate. As a rough halogen comparison, the 2300 lumen output is in the region of an old 120W halogen floodlight, at a fraction of the running cost. Aim the head slightly downward so the sensor reads people approaching rather than passing traffic.

Built from metal with a black finish, the housing carries an IP65 rating, so it is weatherproof and rated for fully exposed outdoor and wet locations, not just sheltered porches. It runs direct from mains voltage with the LED and PIR integrated, and it is not dimmable, which is in keeping with a motion-triggered security role. Mounting is to a wall or ceiling using the fixed bracket, and at 356g it is light enough for a single fixing point. The IQ-LED range includes plain non-sensor floodlights in matching black if you need constant-on units alongside this PIR version.

How bright is it and how many lumens does it give?

It produces 2300 lumens from 20W at an efficiency of 115 lm/W, in a neutral 4000K white. That is plenty for lighting a doorway, side passage or short driveway, spread over a wide 100 degree beam.

What halogen wattage does this replace?

At 2300 lumens it is roughly equivalent to an old 120W halogen floodlight, since older halogen units gave around 20 lumens per watt. You get a similar level of light for a small fraction of the energy use, with a 50,000 hour rated lifespan.

Can it be used fully outdoors in the rain?

Yes. The IP65 rating means it is weatherproof and rated for exposed outdoor and wet locations, so it can be mounted on an open wall or under no cover and still handle rain and water jets.

How do I keep it working at its best?

Wipe the front lens and the PIR sensor window with a soft damp cloth now and then, with the power off, to clear dust, cobwebs and grime. A clean sensor face keeps detection accurate, and a clean lens keeps the output bright.
