jnealon Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Im looking to replace a few 500W halogens with led floodlights. Anyone used them or recommend a supplier, thanks Quote www.realsecurity.ie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfur mo Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 one's used recently in a garage were sourced from CEF by the sparks, they were detector floods and worked very well, don't know if i would go higher than say 1st with them. beware they are not cheap for the most powerful ones and best to keep away from Ebay for them. as one's another client bought were just plain dangerous, bordering on lethal.

Cubit Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Fitted over 100 recently. Specifically for cctv image capture (if needed) at night. 50 watt jobbies. Get decent ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnealon Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 Any links to a specific model. I looked at some 50W lights in my local suppliers and the earth was not connected in them, would have expected that from cheap ebay tat but not a local bricks and mortar shop Quote www.realsecurity.ie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arfur mo Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Im looking to replace a few 500W halogens with led floodlights. Anyone used them or recommend a supplier, thanks just say as yet i have not seen any that match a 500 watt, i'd rate the biggest ones i've seen which i think were 70's as 300 watt ish! ok at 1st floor but a bit narrow and less effective if up in the eaves of a 2 story. if for a client then best warn them, then remmind they are far cheaper to run and should last a lot longer (as long as the case holds out).

MiniMonkey Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 i got some ebay ones and I can confirm, the cheap substitutes are as they are described CHEAP... I re-wired mine internally put an earth to theĀ casing and transformer, re-sealed then Ā wired on a ring with flex and quickfit power connectors... back to a plugtop on a timer they have worked well for nearly 4 weeks ill take some photos.

bandelekurd Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Im looking to replace a few 500W halogens with led floodlights. Anyone used them or recommend a supplier, thanks Ā Why don't you try for the Cosco, or directly throught eBay, Amazon !! I'd installed each one of these and it really works great,, Info,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfur mo Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Avoid the 'warm white' types, unless you want background lighting. Tends to be a very yellow wash, like the early energy saving bulbs.
