mgsontour Posted July 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 I need just to light up a small back garden, I've got the LAP ones from Screwfix and one has just packed in after 6 months; might try the one from toolstation ( about same price ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 I have a few of these dotted around the garden, surprising output, just screw them to the wall or fence and your done, so easy. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Upgraded-SEZAC-Security-Lighting-Waterproof/dp/B07M8W5C8D/ref=sr_1_18?keywords=led+light+pir+solar&qid=1563961738&s=gateway&sr=8-18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B725 Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 I got mine from Newey and Eyres electrical and it has a remote control so you can alter it without climbing up to it just press the button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B725 Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 It's a Ledlam 50w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Got one for £20 of Amazon. They are all pretty similar. Easy enough for me to change from the 500w halogen. And at 20w is bright enough to stop me tripping over in the dark. Most of the garden lights up as I walk around it and none cost more than 20 quid. All are 4+ years old and in all weather's.
