This is my quick review of the 20 W LAP Slimline LED PIR Floodlight in black. I bought this from Screwfix for £22.99.
I have this 20w over my front door which is good enough and I bought the 30w for my back garden and it works a treat. Both very good for their locations.
I bought the 40w version and it really works!
I have just installed that lap floodlight . I wonder if I can solder a 100 watt led ?? (I've seen ppl on you tube do this with a old halogen bulb . ??? Any suggestions
Just received mine in the mail and seems to be built very well and is very bright but the power wire is not very long .. I’m probably gonna have to take the light apart and install a much longer and heavier gauge wire .
I brought one yesterday I’m just wondering how bright it is
Why does it come on with no motion and then stay on? Same time every night. When it works properly, i.e. next doors cat, it goes off within 20 seconds as set.
I had one of these 20w Lap lamps without the PIR. It was only used rarely, maybe once a week and fir no more than a few minutes at a time and burned out in a little over a year. Tempted to buy a halogen as at least you can change the bulb.
Hi, how much Kelvin your LED's have? 5000K?
what should be the settings for the pir mine comes on and stays on for while
How to keep it switched on without going off?
Bought a few of these for a customer they started flashing and then staying on permanently ! i have took them back and looking for replacements, hope you don't have the same issues,
Same as me i bought today 20W floodlight and it stay on permanently! I don't know what to do
what cable you used for extension, i couldn't find 6mm round cable
Excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Who's bright idea was it
How to fix watchman to oil tank
What size flex did you use ? It says in instructions that 6mm is needed but the spec wouldn't suggest you do. I can't even find 6mm cable
The instructions state NOT LESS than 6mm. I have just wired up a length of 6mm and it was very straightfowrad - 8mm would work too.
hi does this floodlight allow for manual override of the pir sensor/adjust how long the light stays on for?
Yes they do.
Nice
Bright.
It’s funny reading the comments about these not lasting. I got 4 solar powered pir led security lights off eBay for about £30 thinking they’d be crap & they’re still working 100% nearly 2 years on.
Can I ask a question to anyone please!!??..can the ends of these cables LAP/Lucceco and plug them into a regular wall socket? will the supplied cable allow me to do this? Rather than a junction box etc I just want to plug and play? Any help would be great!!!
Aye they will work fine on a 240v plug, thats how i tested mines before installing, although 9 months after install the COB's burnt out on it tonight, not pleased. LAP LED srewfix crap.
@@79RockShox yes thank you I thought they would ,another viewer said it couldn’t as the cable is not suitable for indoor sockets, I know I need to put a smaller 3amp/5amp fuse but thank you
Pir on mine has filled up with water after a year..
Crap . That's the second one went on the blink after 6 months light use .Dont touch it.
Glad I watched this video , Wasnt impressed with the brightness of the light , Also didnt realise you couldnt replace the bulb once it goes . Not very environmentally friendly having to throw the whole unit away just because of a light bulb .....
Mine didn't last much over a year.@@darrenkelly3166
@@darrenkelly3166 Just under 2 years for my LAP. Switched to Luceco - that lasted 8 months! LED floodlights look great but don't last as long as the old halogen floodlights
Good thing you put it under the eaves cos LAP outdoor lights aren't waterproof in the slightest!
@Walter White "Good luck"
Nice...,
I tried wiring this up with 2 core and nothing happened. I found some 3 core and wired it up and now it keeps tripping the mcb. Have I knackered it?
Doesn't the MCB protect against overload? 20W / 240V = 0.83A. How much load have you already got on the circuit?
@@bitTorrenter Got it sorted bro. It was faulty. I took it back to screwfix and swapped it and it fired up straight away.
Thanks anyway.
The comments here scare me. If something has an earth terminal, bloody use it. Its not for decoration, it's a safety feature.
@@bitTorrenter 0.087A. Not 0.87A. 10x less current than you said.
Tip, never record lights in the wet, the light refracts through the surface of the water and only a fraction comes back to the observer, it doesn't record well at all.
true, that's why my LEDs on a car appear less powerful in the rain
Dear God, the comments here are bloody terrifying. Shit diyers and have a go electricians units here. You don't know what you don't know, so leave this stuff to the professionals. Even wiring something to a plug top can be dangerous. It's not a get out for getting a spark in. It's still 230v coming out of it at a current that can kill you or your family members 100x over.
