IQ-LED 50W LED Floodlight with PIR Sensor - Black

The IQ-LED is a 50W outdoor LED floodlight that puts out 6000 lumens at a neutral 4000K white, with a built-in PIR sensor that switches the light on as movement is detected. The 100 degree beam spreads light wide rather than throwing it in a tight spot, so it washes an area in front of the fitting evenly. American buyers shopping for an LED security floodlight will recognise this as the same fitting, with the motion sensor handling the on-demand switching that outdoor flood applications usually call for.

This floodlight suits driveways, side passages, car parks, yards and the approach to a garage or back door, where the PIR brings it to life only when someone arrives. The wide 100 degree spread gives broad coverage close to the wall rather than a long narrow throw, which makes it well placed above a doorway or on a corner where two approaches meet. As a guide on replacement, 6000 lumens stands in for an old halogen floodlight of roughly 300W, so it covers similar ground at a fraction of the running cost. Mount it at first-floor or eaves height and angle the head down to light the ground people walk across.

Built with a metal body and finished in black, the fitting carries an IP65 rating, so it is weatherproof and rated for exposed outdoor and wet locations. It runs on 220-240V AC mains with the LED array and PIR integrated into one unit, so there is no separate driver or transformer to specify. The light is not dimmable, which is in keeping with a sensor-driven security flood. Rated for 50,000 hours, it can be wall or ceiling mounted. Other wattages and non-sensor versions sit alongside this one in the IQ-LED range.

How bright is it and what halogen wattage does it replace?

The fitting produces 6000 lumens at 4000K neutral white. As a rough equivalent, an old halogen floodlight ran at around 20 lumens per watt, so 6000 lumens stands in for a halogen flood of roughly 300W while drawing only 50W.

How does the PIR sensor work and how much area does it cover?

The built-in PIR detects movement and switches the floodlight on automatically, then off again after a set period of no activity. The 100 degree beam gives a wide, even spread close to the fitting rather than a long throw, so it is best placed to cover an approach, doorway or corner.

Can it be used outdoors in wet weather?

Yes. It carries an IP65 rating, which makes it weatherproof and suitable for exposed outdoor and wet locations such as driveways, yards and unsheltered walls.

How do I keep it clean?

Wipe the face and the sensor lens with a soft damp cloth from time to time, with the power off and the unit cool. Keeping the front and the PIR window free of dirt and cobwebs helps maintain both the light output and reliable motion detection.
