Recommendations for reliable LED floodlights

[Geoff1946]

I'm looking for recommendations for reliable LED floodlights to use as feature lighting, that is illuminating walls. I think around 50 watts will be suitable. 

Access for maintenance is difficult and expensive so reliability is the over-riding requirement, much more important than initial cost.

Additionally this is a near coastal location with a salty atmosphere. (Powder coated alloy fittings last no time at all).

look for 5 year warranty on the drivers. Can't quite remember who it was, but I think KSR are now offering fittings suitable for salty atmospehre?

Collingwood do "marine" type LED lights - it doesn't jump out on their website but the data sheets show this:

Thanks for those. Added to my list for consideration.

After a fair bit of internet trawling and asking around, I think we are going for these:

They are recommended by the electrician who is going to fit them and I like the idea of stainless steel fittings on a polycarbonate casing.

Fitzgerald are generally good gear (or used to be).

Fitzgerald were the only light fitting I would use on any project. Between us we won two Lighting Industry awards. I got on very well with Peter Fitzgerald, his son Tim and the Sales  director Tony Stuchberry. Alas due to personal circumstances and health issue we lost touch. I wasn't aware they had teamed up with powerlite. If the new regime has the same quality products and customer service then you won't go far wrong

Thought Fitzgerald went bankrupt?

Thought Fitzgerald went bankrupt?

still alive and well, in deepest Cornwall (Bodmin to be precise).

Thanks for the positive feedback. I was dreading the opposite coming out after we made the choice.

I know we should buy British but personally would avoid anything made by a certain firm in Staffs. On the subject of LED floods, I have fitted several NVR (from neweys) of various wattages on and around the Port where I work with very little in the way of failures.

I was just looking at these this morning. fitted 2 of them approx 5 years ago. still going strong. Some rust on the brackets thats all.

They are NVC not NVR as previously stated. We get all our gear from Neweys/ Rexel. 

Tam@#ite you get the picture. Just my experience with them.

Apart from Fitzgerald, I've always found Crompton LED lamps to be good, Kosnic LED gear trays, and KSR LED battens are good now they've sorted out the hest spec - they originally rated things for 30degC, so a load of lights I fitted in a school overheated one summer.
