[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 990070, member: 176704"] 2cv My existing lights are not floodlights - just decorative "lantern" types (don't need that much range) with low-energy halogen bulbs, but I take your point about using LED types. FWIW, last time one of the integral PIR sensors failed, I fitted an external sensor and wired that into the light because, normally, when the internal sensor fails then you then have to replace the whole fitting because you can't get a spare sensor. This has happened to me several times and also to another of my neighbours (and I then fitted an external sensor to his light). The external sensors are then quick and easy to replace - yesterday it took about 15 mins when that sensor "exploded" (See below) [ATTACH]99094[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
