Floodlight

I'm looking to have a floodlight installed at the back of my house to light up the garden. It would have to be fixed to a tile hung wall - can they be fixed to tiles or only onto a brick wall? I don't want to get an electrician in who ends up breaking the tiles so thought I would ask for opinions first!

It would have to be fixed to the brick wall, tiles wouldn't be strong enough.A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.0

Just a quick thought...do you have houses behind you if so maybe consider mounting the flood light at an angle that doesn't shine into their bedroom.THE SHABBY SHABBY FOUNDER0

And even if it does not shine into bedrooms, if it is on a photosensor, adjust it so that when it comes on, it stays on for at least 3 or 4 minutes. People are wired to stay asleep on a change of light, but to wake on a double change of light - the latter is indicative of an intruderHi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

Is a tall sturdy post concreted in an option to mount it on?0

Eaves might be a better option. Less problem shining into bedrooms opposite with the extra height too.greatgimpo wrote: »Is a tall sturdy post concreted in an option to mount it on?Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.
