    I'm with Armandii on the light pollution thing. I have a sensor light attached to my place, it was there when we moved in and my neighbour has one too, between the pair of them it's like trying to sleep with lightning lighting up our bedroom, they're on and off all night. They were originally produced as security lights but nobody takes any notice of them. I would like to take it down but other half wants it left.......funny that, he's the one it doesn't bother! :doh:

      That's true, I can remember a few court cases where the intruders actually welcomed the security lights coming on as it gave them something to see when breaking in:dunno::heehee:

        You are quite right about the "Light spillage" When the old 300W was on we knew about it in the bedroom! Sure the neighbours knew about it as well! I like to class mine more of an access light rather then a security light. I can see into the garage at night. Neighbours wont complain because it does the same for their garage !

        I don't think you should need one if it is a direct replacement for an existing unit
