ABS Plastic Flood Light

[LED Lighting]

Hi All

Im looking for a ABS Plastic Flood Light in either a SON or MH fitting.

Wattage does not matter.

The housing and mounting must be ABD Plastic as well as the Clips which holds the cover shut!

These are going into a Sea Water Fish Factory and anything metal only lasts 6 months.


If anyone has any other ideas on what we can put in there please let me know.

SON and MH give out very different light, and are generally not suitable for each other's applications. And anywhere between 70W and 1000W ? How can the wattage not matter ?

Ansel Orion range...

Google and have a look, they are good fittings...

Wattage does not matter because it is being retro fitted with LED, all I need is an ABS Plastic Flood Light with an E27 (SON/MH usually) fitting.

I have been googleing on and off for the past 2 weeks and cant find anything suitable - hence why I ask on here

Aha ! Strange way round I must say. Have corrosion proof plastic floods not made it into the LED market yet ?

No they have not because of the heat a Flood Light gives off it needs a heat exchange to dissipate the heat, but open to the air.

Way around it is use an E27 30w Bulb, these are made so well that no heat exchange is required.

The customer has ABS SON Floods but the mounting and case bolts are steel and barely lasts 3 Months before they fall (hanging above the fish tanks!) - not my design at all may I ask!

If anyone else has any ideas on what other lights can be used please let me know

and before anyone brings up the products from Meteor Electrical, these dont last as they have a metal stand!

Tough one. I was gonna say that polycarb floods are ten a penny, but they always come with metal brackets.

I would be researching stainless steel bodies. I know nothing about them, but there must be a product used on docks and fishing vessels suitable for this application.

EDIT: Either that or replace all case screws with stainless, and have some stainless brackets made up to suit the fittings.

This is ideally what I am looking for - someone who has experience in working with flood lights and docks/fishing boats

I know you said NOT Meteor, but these have stainless brackets, powdercoated Diecast body;


LED Lighting dimmable and non-dimmable

Im waiting for them to confirm, if you are right then these are ideal

Have you had a look at the ansel Orion polycarbonate fittings I said earlier?...

They have optional stainless steel brackets...

What about the sealed led fittings you get for ground mounting that come with a good length of flex. Maybe fitted to a stainless bracket? Maybe not bright enough, just thinking out the box.

Was going to say what snowhead said, just get the brackets/ metal bits plastic dipped.

or fabricate own bracket out of stainless.

Im going to give the one from Meteor a go first to see how that preforms.

I know the customer is very keen on plastic compared to Stainless Steel
