was it a camera in it? it had a screen of some sort displayed next to it so thought they went together, would be good if i can be linked to your tv.

l the look of it, but just dont really trust much from CEF, my least favorite wholesalers.

Like Andy I normally just ask for a "decent" halogen (in CEF as it happens, our local branch is good!), trouble is I can't remember the brand either.

The SF one you've link to looks OK.

My preference is always for seperate PIR and Luminaire - probably utter carp but I think you get better quality that way, and you don't have to compromise on the position of the light/PIR - there I've justified my prejudice, happy days!

separates would be ok with me

Is IP44 really suitable to live exposed outdoors? Can you get them with higher ratings?

IP44 will be OK

IP44 will be OK

So long as you don't pressure wash it (or subject it to East winds on wet days in Wensleydale).

Patchy , I think Smiths do a better quality flood , also Steinel , them what makes the testers. Some of the cheapo China things last for ever but its a matter of luck TBH.

i like the scrolling LEDs on them, and seem to be well built, but a bit more expensive than your average bog standard ones, come with a long guarantee if memory serves correctly.

Smiths/timeguard for me have a three year guarantee and generally only get the odd duff one which is very rare. I will not install steinal as they are three times the price and I don't think you can warrant that cost for an outside light.

Good man Badger!

I'm going to get myself one of them!

Scoob on it's way too

Timeguard are def better quality than most of the PIR halogens out there.

But for top quality i would def go for Steinel, top rated fitting will last for years, but you will pay a premuim for it.
