I’ve been asked to price up a job which includes fitting a 100watt led flood on top of a 6m pole.
Thinking of using a lamp post with a floodlight bracket on top. Not used one of the flood brackets before. Looks like a floodlight will attach to it at the bottom of the fitting rather than at the rear as is standard when they are attached to walls. Any recommendations as to decent fittings that will work like this. Or maybe I’m not misunderstanding how these floodlight brackets work and I can fix a floodlight to the ‘side’ of it?
It’s to be controlled via pir. Any decent 100w floods with built in pir that will work at 6m height? I suspect not. However if I use a standalone pir it could get a bit messy trying to mount it on the pole/lamp post.
Any suggestions? Cheers
