Tronic 50W LED Flood Light, Cool Daylight 6500K, Aluminium Body

Our review

This Tronic flood light is a 50W LED unit putting out cool daylight at 6500K, the bright white tone most people associate with security lighting rather than the warmer look of domestic bulbs. Its efficiency is quoted at over 110 lumens per watt, so it produces a useful amount of light for the power it draws, and the housing is die-cast aluminium, which matters in coastal or dusty environments where plastic bodies can yellow or crack. It suits driveways, gates, compounds and signage, and anyone lighting a wide outdoor area from a single mounting point. Before buying, check the mounting position and whether your cable and switch can handle a fixture of this class, and confirm the beam angle suits the space, since a narrow beam concentrates light while a wide one spreads it. Compared with similar flood lights, the aluminium body and efficiency figure are the main points in its favour; compare those against alternatives rather than wattage alone. Available on Sokonia.
