Have inherited some older LAP spots. Replaced the bulbs and they seem okay however no settings to adjust sensitivity and basically flash all night when they get attacked by moths....

Would prefer LED and adjustable sensitivity.

Do you know ant pulse over-ride? I found that quite tricky to get on led lights.

I've been impressed with this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mpow-Wireless-Weatherproof-Security-Intelligent/dp/B016MIBSAO

It's not adjustable, but hardly any false alarms, very bright, and still working fine after 6 months.

Just make sure it's in the setting that means it's "on" only when the PIR is triggered otherwise the solar panel can't recharge the battery fast enough in the winter.

got one of these as well, which false alarms more... though tempted to get another for 6 quid!

I've got a couple of [url= https://www.ledhut.co.uk/led-garden-outdoor-lights/flood-lights/80-watt-slimline-led-flood-light-280-watt-replacement-3000k-black-casing.html ]these[/url] in the garage, very happy with them. They do different wattages.

LED hut are always doing discount codes so probably best to wait until the bank holiday although googling usually throws up a 20% off code.
