Hi All,
As an ex-sparks who has been out of the game for nearly 20years, I decided to post a question here that hopefully someone may be able toanswer?
I am having a frustrating time in trying to locate asupplier for a soffit mounted security light. Naturally in past years Halogenfloods etc were not designed to run directly under a wood or plasticsoffit/eves. With the advent of low wattage LED floods these days however, heatsoak is not a problem, yet here in the UK I do not seem to find anyone that manufacturesa directional spot or bulkhead light that is designed to be mounted under thesoffit/eves.
Ironically, the only ones that I have seen on the net available in the UK thatcan be mounted in this way is solar powered PIR security lights.
Alternatively, I can install a couple of PAR 38 typefittings fitted with LED lamps, however trying to find a horizontally mountedPIR with any sort of weather rating is nigh impossible on the net.
Anyone got any suggestions on either light fittings or stand-alonePIR’s designed to mount horizontally, can you give me some info on them? (I amafter a single directional spot, and a bi-direction twin fitting).
Frustratingly, they are available in the States, but asalways (if you excuse the pun), the UK seems to be light years behind in choice….
Regards,
HH
