Installing wired floodlight using existing spotlight wiring.

[Mramin]

I currently have 3 spotlights that are controlled by a switch and I'd like to replace these with wired floodlights. Would it be possible to reuse the existing wiring + switch?

can't see why not. LED floods??? with or without PIRs??

Will 3 floods not be overkill for such a thin garden?

i'd have thought 2 x 20 watt LED.

You could just add one floodlight and see if it enough extra light.

That's what I'd do. And leave 2 of the soffit lights fitted and working as they are

Thanks chaps - What can I use to cover up the spotlight hole one the ones I replace with a floodlight?

A white circular soffit vent maybe .

You could just leave them in and working, just add the flood

Ye that's another option, and I'd actually prefer that but I would still like them all to be controlled by that swtich.

That would be straight forward.
