Recommendation for floodlights

[zap]

scenario: 6 Amp circuit breaker tripping on external lights.
The fault was isolated but noticed several other anomalies.
There are four floodlights, possibly IP44 rated all pointing up (to light the front of the property) and all collecting rain like funnels. Only one of the lights had a rubber garter attempting to prevent ingress of water.
The property is on a cliff-top, south facing, and suffers 100 mph + storm weather. Personally I think IP66 fittings would be more appropriate but I'm happy to be corrected.
Bearing in mind that these lights will need to point upwards can anyone recommend suitable lights? The existing lights are 150 watt each (es27 filament) but if the price is right maybe the equivalent LEDs would be more reliable or cost effective.

Apparently the staff turn the fittings down in bad weather conditions as they regularly trip out the breaker .

I have to go out now but I'll be back within an hour to respond to any feedback.
Thanks in advance for any help submitted.

Thanks MDJ I had a look at the link and they're too expensive (from £450).

Yep agree, just showing you a link for what may be suitible fella thats all, something like the lights shown would handle the weather your reffering to.

They look excellent! However, not wishing to be laughed at, I'll target much cheaper ones. Thanks again for responding.

Oh cheap cheap? IP65 PIR Classic LED Floodlight 10W 20W 30W Security Flood Light Garden Outdoor | eBay

That's much more like it although I'm not sure if IP65 is sufficient protection. The weather we've experienced recently warrants IP66, I think. What do you think?

 

[zap]

I need to go back with a range of prices, like £50 upwards. So a low starting point would be advantageous.

 

[MDJ]

Probably, However the costs start to escalate, that last link I showed you is a good light though, I have one over my front door and it is over a year old and still looks brand new, and we have had a hell of a lot of wind and rain in the last 12 months, If cost is a factor and you want to go LED you may have to lesson your expectations.

 

[zap]

Yeah, thank again. I think, "from £50", each + labour is probably a foot in the door.

Interesting point in the leaflet for the IP 66 fitting is that cost of item could be offset against tax a very good bargaining point
Then you add in reduced operating costs,maintenance etc starts to look a better proposal to go for this one also if your buying 4 the might give a better price

If the weather is THAT bad (also thinking about salt erosion), you could always fit lesser rated LED floods and put them in acrylic fronted bricked houses?
