Floodlight lights up very dim

Hi,

I bought two 10w floodlights from Screwfix that will be used indoors to light up a garage. I connected one to the existing loop and it lit up very dimly. I connected the other one and same issue appeared. Just as a bit of troubleshooting I wired one up to a plug and plugged it into a plug in the house. Same issue. Is it likely that the LED lights themselves are faulty?

Thanks.

LED lights are good, but some a better than others.

Do you have a link for the product? Do you have a watt-meter to check the consumption?

Sure....https://www.screwfix.ie/p/lap-outdoor-led-floodlight-black-10w-1000lm/403pg

No, don't have a meter I'm afraid

I just installed a 10w floodlight yesterday (link below) and it has sufficient power to light about 10m of my garden. I'd guess it's as powerful as a ~250w halogen bulb. It would certainly light up my 3m x 4m shed.

If you're not getting a similar effect, best return them.
