LED Downlight with Photocell.... impossible?

JohnCleary

Hi all,

We have box poles (100mm x 100mm), so looking for an LED downlight that's not more than 100mm wide with a built-in photocell (not bothered about fitting an external one).

It doesn't have to be a downlight, but is preference as it's being mounted 1m high with the intention of lighting a footpath.

I've been Googling all evening.... either i'm not much good at searching so i'm asking for the impossible.

LED colour temp not too important but would choose warm white over cold white.

Any ideas much appreciated!

Oh and will be mounted outdoor so need IP rating... won't be cleaning it with a powerhouse, but needs to be designed for outdoor rain etc.

Uses a replaceable NEMA photocell (supplied)

Edit: I see this is to be fitted 1m above ground level so this won't be much use!

Thanks for the reply but yeah, it essentially needs to be flush mount, something along the lines of: https://www.lights.ie/marik-led-outdoor-light-102292-ie-en.html?sc=suggest&q=Marik+LED+outdoor+light

^^ With a built-in photocell

These are just to be curtesy lights... not to completely flood the path but just to illuminate it slightly.

Amazon has lots of lights with photocells

You can operate then as a basic on/off light and ignore the photocell or if u leave switch on photocell will control the light

Cheers. I'm looking now (on amazon.de) and just not getting anywhere... human error I guess! I'll keep searching.

Thanks.

Personally use a transformer, low voltage time set for a number of hours in the evening and also if beam is broken they come on for 5 minutes.

We have a long driveway 900 feet which is twisting and needs lighting for visitors.

Various lights can be added, spots downlighters and the whole system was much cheaper than I originally had budgeted for.

Timer and PIR ? As against photocell the OP mentioned

Tried the photocell, wasn’t as easy to find and not as “programmable” photocell was an option though which is still attached but not used on transformers
