I am wondering if these are suitable for a twin security light for outside use

anyone used them. You can get led bulbs too but almost £60

  • Nice product, I have to say.
    They can be suitable in two cases: their IP rating is above 65 - the website does not state that, so I would check with them via email or phone. Or, the housing/fitting has to have that IP rating, that is waterproof.
    I would still consider LED lights, because this product might not last long enough. If the price of the LED is 4 times, but lasts four times longer than it is worth choosing that, since it also means lower consumption most of the time.
