Description
Secure your doorways, garden pathways, and small outdoor alcoves with targeted, energy-efficient illumination with the Switched 10W LED Flood Light with Automatic Motion Sensor (SWD-10016-10). The Flood Light with Motion Sensor provides 800 lumens of ultra-bright, crisp 6500K cool white light the instant motion is detected. Engineered for durability, its rugged housing features an IP65 waterproof rating, protecting it against heavy rain, dust, and harsh seasonal weather changes.
What sets this outdoor security light apart is its highly adaptable PIR sensor. You can easily adjust the motion timeout delay anywhere from 5 seconds up to 15 minutes to perfectly fit your property’s layout. Additionally, dual-mode intelligence lets you toggle between nighttime-only activation to preserve power, or continuous round-the-clock operation for darker daytime passages. Replace inefficient old halogens with modern, low-draw SMD LED technology to gain complete peace of mind without driving up your monthly electricity bills.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: How do I change the detection distance on the motion sensor?
The PIR sensor on both the 10W and 30W models features a sensitivity adjustment dial. You can turn this dial to increase or decrease the range. The 30W model allows you to customize the distance anywhere from 1 metre up to a maximum of 8 metres.
Q2: Can I set the light to stay on all night without using the sensor?
No, these specific models are designed as dedicated automatic motion-sensor lights to maximize energy savings. They trigger automatically when movement is detected. They do not feature a manual override switch for permanent continuous lighting.
Q3: What is the difference between Mode 1 and Mode 2?
-
- Mode 1 (Night-Only): The floodlight activates its motion sensor only after dark. This saves electricity during daylight hours.
- Mode 2 (24-Hour): The sensor triggers the light anytime motion is detected, regardless of whether it is day or night. This is ideal for dark alleys or shaded under-balcony areas.
Q4: Can these floodlights survive heavy rain and storms?
Yes, absolutely. Both models carry an IP65 weatherproof rating. This means they are completely dust-tight and fully sealed against heavy rain, waterspouts, and severe outdoor weather conditions.
Q5: Do these lights come with a pre-installed wall plug?
These security lights are supplied with a fly-lead cable for safety and permanent placement. They are designed to be securely hardwired into your property’s mains electrical system.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide for the Switched 10W LED Flood Light with Automatic Motion Sensor
Before starting, always turn off the main power at your distribution board to avoid electrical shock.
- Choose the Location: Select a mounting position 1.8 to 2.5 metres above the ground for optimal 120-degree sensor coverage.
- Mount the Bracket: Remove the detachable mounting bracket from the floodlight. Use it as a template to mark and drill holes on your wall, then secure the bracket using the provided wall plugs and screws.
- Connect the Wiring: Pass your mains cable through to the light. Connect the wires to the floodlight fly-lead using a waterproof junction box:
-
- Brown Wire: Live (L)
- Blue Wire: Neutral (N)
- Green/Yellow Wire: Earth (E)
-
- Attach the Housing: Fix the floodlight body back onto the mounted wall bracket and tighten the side adjustment bolts.
- Adjust Sensor Settings: Set your preferred time delay (5s to 900s), choose your operational mode (day/night), and point the PIR sensor toward your primary target zone.
- Power On and Test: Switch the main electrical power back on and walk across the detection zone to test the trigger sensitivity.
