The best LED floodlights with motion sensor, compared.
Top pick: NATPOW 100 W twin, 10,000 lm Best value: MEIKEE 25 W, 2,100 lm – Score 84 at about £17.99, from 4.2 and 11,130 reviews, the largest sample here, for a stated 2,100 lumens. Updated 22 October 2026.
An LED floodlight with motion sensor is a mains outdoor head with a passive infrared detector and a short flying lead for a junction box. In the UK you fit one on a drive, a garage wall, a side passage or a garden door. The useful checks are lumens, colour temperature, a darkness setting, the printed IP code and lead length. These are hard-wired 230 V or 240 V fittings, not 13 A plugs. A porch does not need a very high output, and a yard looks dim under a modest head. Cool white near 6500 K is the usual panel. Warmer heads near 3000 K to 4000 K are a separate choice. You want an on-time and a distance control, unless the distance is already set. Prefer IP65 or IP66 over the word waterproof, and note when the sensor is a lower code than the body. A lead that cannot reach a proper enclosure will not fit. Read the checks in the [LED floodlight buying guide](/hub/electronic-surveillance/led-floodlight-with-motion-sensor/sub/led-floodlight-with-motion-sensor-buying-guide).

Question 1 of 2
Where are you fitting it?
The NATPOW TS-F42100 is a two-pack listed at £38.79, with a 100 W title, a claim of 10,000 lumens and 200 LEDs, daylight white, and a 1.5 m cable. Each head is described with a 2–10 m range, a delay from 10 seconds to 7 minutes, and day or night modes, and the listing prints IP66. amazon.co.uk shows 4.9 from 18 reviews. That star line is the highest in the set and the sample is the smallest, which is why the score is 78 rather than a win. Dimensions, material and voltage are not stated; the listed weight is 2 kg. One review reports three cores, including earth, which is more detail than the two-core listings, but it is one review and not a wiring diagram. The efficiency field says A+, which does not line up with the class E and F labels on several other rows, so do not treat the letter as a like-for-like grade. Use this pack only if you actually want two high claimed outputs and you can live with 18 ratings.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have two mounting points and a large yard, and you accept 18 reviews behind a 10,000 lm claim.
Less suitable: You are lighting a porch, or you want a review sample in the hundreds or thousands.
Specifications
Common questions
How many heads are in the box?
Two. The listing is a 2-pack and number of items is 2.
How long is the cable?
The bullets state 1.5 m.
Is 4.9 a large sample?
No. The listing has 18 ratings. That is not the same as a 4.2 from thousands of reviews.
The Steinel FL 1400 S, model 088101, is listed at £55.49 and claims 1,375 lumens from 14.7 W at 4000 K, with a 220° PIR stated to 10 m. In this table it is the top pick because the listing shows 4.5 from 128 reviews and the housing includes sensor cover plates, a head that swivels 80° horizontally and 150° vertically, and CE, RoHS and UKCA on the spec line. It is not the brightest row: several heads under £20 claim 2,100 to 4,500 lumens. The Amazon table says the unit is not water resistant, and there is no IP cell, so you should not read UKCA as a weather grade. Corner mounting is described as watching two walls, but the corner bracket is an accessory and is not in the box. At 885 g it is heavier than the thin 20 W heads, and the review sample is 128 rather than thousands. If you need a huge lumen claim, this is the wrong row even though it leads the scores here.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a 4000 K Steinel housing with aim and sensor covers, and 1,375 lumens is enough for the wall.
Less suitable: You need a printed IP66 code, a 4,000 lm claim, or the corner bracket in the box.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this the brightest head in the set?
No. The listing claims 1,375 lm at 14.7 W. Several cheaper rows claim 2,100–4,500 lm.
What weather rating is printed?
The Amazon table says not water resistant. The spec line lists CE, RoHS, and UKCA. There is no IP cell in the UK table.
Can it cover two walls?
The bullets say the PIR can watch two sides with corner mounting. The corner bracket is named as an accessory, not in the box.
The vighep 30 W remote head is listed at £19.98 with a claimed 2,400 lumens at 6500 K, a stated range of up to 10 m, and a 1 m rubber cable. You change time, sensitivity and mode from the wireless remote: the time steps are 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 2 minutes, 5 minutes and 10 minutes, and the modes are all-day sensing, night sensing below 20 lux, or always-on. amazon.co.uk shows 4.4 from 492 reviews. The body is listed as ADC12, about 19 × 16 × 4.8 cm and 480 g, with die-cast aluminium and tempered glass in the bullets and an IP66 print. One UK review says the remote arrived without batteries, so the first night may be a shop trip rather than a walk-test. The score of 82 includes a deduction for short-life reports and a PIR that one reviewer found full of water after a few months. Hardwired 230 V is in the bullets; an earth note is not stated.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want to change time and dusk level from the ground on a 2,400 lm, 6500 K head.
Less suitable: You will not keep a remote, or you need a sensor with a clean record against water in the PIR.
Specifications
Common questions
Does it come with a remote?
Yes. The included-components line lists a wireless remote and a 1 m rubber cable. One UK review says no batteries were in the box.
Can it stay on without motion?
The listing has an Always-On mode as well as all-day sensing and a night mode below 20 lux.
Is the IP66 claim unchallenged?
The listing prints IP66. One UK review found the PIR full of water after a few months.
The vighep two-pack is listed at £28.49 for two 30 W heads claiming 3,000 lumens at 6500 K, with all-day or night-only sensing and a time range of 8 seconds to 12 minutes. The stated detection is up to 5 m at 120°, which is a shorter reach than the 10–12 m lines on several single heads, so two lamps do not automatically cover a long drive. amazon.co.uk shows 4.4 from 127 reviews. The bullets include a 1 m cable, and several UK reviews call that short for a junction set back in the wall. They also name die-cast aluminium, tempered glass and a silicone ring, print IP66, and state 230 V. The pack weight is 860 g. The score of 80 carries a deduction for early failures in the file. An earth note and the dimensions are not stated. Buy the pair if you have two nearby boxes and a 5 m field is enough.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have two close mounting points and a 5 m detection field is enough.
Less suitable: One head must watch 10 m of drive, or the junction box needs more than 1 m of lead.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this a single head?
No. Number of items is 2. The title is a 2-pack.
How long is the cable?
The bullets state 1 m. Several UK reviews call that short.
Can it run in daylight?
Yes. The listing has all-day sensing or night-only.
The Lepro 50 W head, model 340006-DW-EU, is listed at £19.98 with a claimed 4,200 lumens at 5000 K. On the wall it is a 21.8 × 5 × 18.4 cm aluminium and glass body of 700 g, with TIME, SENS and LUX dials, a stated range of up to 8 m, and a delay from 3 seconds to 8 minutes. amazon.co.uk shows 4.3 from 4,382 reviews. The listing prints IP65 on the floodlight and IP54 on the detector, and it says not to mount the head on the ground because that affects the sensor. Reviews describe a flying lead of about 1 m and no UK plug, so you join it in a box rather than plugging it into a socket. Repeated complaints in the saved file are lamps that stick on, flicker, or let water in, which is why the score sits at 81 rather than tracking the star line alone. One UK review also says the unpacked label was not the IP65 the bullets print, so treat the code as a listing claim you should check on the carton.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want three analogue dials and a 4,200 lm claim on a wall, and the junction box is within about a metre.
Less suitable: You need a ground-mounted head, a UK plug, or a sensor printed to the same IP code as the body.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the listing give an IP rating?
The bullets print IP65 on the floodlight and IP54 on the detector. One UK review says the unpacked label was not IP65.
Can you mount it on the ground?
No. The listing says ground mounting will affect the sensor. It is a wall-mounted outdoor head.
Is there a UK plug?
No. Reviews describe a pre-installed flying lead, about 1 m, for a junction box.
The CLY FLB030 is a 30 W head listed at £17.99 with a claimed 2,820 lumens at 6500 K, a 1 m two-core 1 mm² lead, and a recommended mounting height of 3.5–5 m. You can choose 24-hour sensing or night only, and the time steps are 5, 45, 120 and 600 seconds. The bullets say the 0–12 m distance is already set and you do not adjust it, so a pavement trigger is an aiming problem rather than a dial you can turn down. amazon.co.uk shows 4.3 from 2,719 reviews. The listing prints IP66 on the outdoor head and IP65 on the sensor, and it says there is no earth wire. That is a claim about this head's lead, not permission to alter the supply cable. The body is about 460 g, described as plastic-clad aluminium, on a 240 V listing, with efficiency label E. If you wanted a SENS pot, this row does not give you one.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a brighter-than-porch 2,820 lm claim, a large review sample, and you can aim the whole head.
Less suitable: You need to shorten the detection distance on a dial, or the circuit must see an earth from the head.
Specifications
Common questions
Is there an earth wire?
The listing says no earth wire. The lead is described as two-core 1 mm². That is not a statement about your supply cable.
Can you set the detection distance?
The bullets say the 0–12 m distance is already set and you do not operate it.
What IP codes are printed?
IP66 on the outdoor head and IP65 on the sensor head.
The MEIKEE FLB025 is a 25 W head listed at £17.99 with a claimed 2,100 lumens at 6000 K, a stated range of up to 12 m, and push-button time steps of 10, 45, 120 and 600 seconds. amazon.co.uk shows 4.2 from 11,130 reviews, the largest sample in this set, which is why it is the best value row at the same shelf price as the CLY. The listing prints IP66 on the body and IP65 on the sensor, and it says the nano shell is insulated and there is no earth wire. That sentence is about this head, not about the cable already in your wall. Reviews describe a lead of about 1 m and no plug. The included-components line lists instructions in German, so the walk-test may be clearer from the buttons than from the booklet. The front is described as a nano patch rather than glass, and the table material cell says Nano. At 599 g and a stated 84 lm/W it is a porch-scale head, not a 4,200-lumen yard lamp.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a widely reviewed 2,100 lm head around £18 for a porch or side path.
Less suitable: You need an earth core in the head, English instructions, or a 4,000 lm claim.
Specifications
Common questions
Does it need an earth?
The listing says the nano shell is insulated and there is no earth wire. That is a claim about this head, not about your circuit.
What IP codes are printed?
IP66 on the floodlight and IP65 on the infrared sensor.
What language are the instructions?
The included-components line says instructions in German.
The Steinel XLED Home 2 S, model 33088, is listed at £99.99 with a claimed 1,550 lumens at 13.7 W and 3000 K warm white, and a 180° PIR in the title. amazon.co.uk shows 4.2 from 3,858 reviews. Reviews say the lamp and the PIR aim independently, so you can keep the beam off a neighbour's window while the sensor still watches the drive, and the box includes screws, plugs, three spacers, sealed plugs and a cover. The table says water resistant; one UK review names IP44, and there is no IP66 cell. One review says there is no SENS dial, and a later unit is described as having no always-on mode. The score of 82 includes deductions for water in the sensor and for aim that moves in the wind. The dimension cells disagree: the table says 7.6 × 7.1 × 6.3 cm and the title says 19.4 × 18 × 16.1 cm, at 570 g in plastic. It is the dearest head here and still far below the 4,200-lumen claims, so you are paying for warm colour and separate aim, not for raw output.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want 3000 K and you need the beam and the sensor to point different ways.
Less suitable: You need 4,000 lm, a printed IP66, or a SENS pot the listing confirms.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this brighter than the cheap 50 W rows?
No. The listing claims 1,550 lm at 13.7 W and 3000 K. Several heads under £20 claim 2,100–4,500 lm.
What weather rating is printed?
The table says water resistant. One UK review names IP44. There is no IP66 cell.
Can you aim the lamp away from a neighbour?
Reviews say the lamp and the PIR aim independently, so the beam can miss a window while the sensor still watches the drive.
The Hoysicy 50 W, model Hoy-DC11-50W01, is listed at £14.99 with a claimed 4,200 lumens at 6500 K, a 180° PIR, a stated range of 2–8 m, and a delay from 7 seconds to 7 minutes. The bullets state a 50 cm pre-wired cable and a mounting height of 3–5 m, on 230 V AC, with an operating range of −20 °C to 50 °C. amazon.co.uk shows 4.2 from 30 reviews, a small sample that pulls the score to 74. The listing prints IP66 and describes aluminium and tempered glass at 510 g, with efficiency label F. Modes and an earth note are not stated. A 50 cm tail will not cross a cavity wall to a box on the inside, so the price only works if the joint is already within that reach. Thirty ratings are not the same evidence as the four-figure samples on the MEIKEE, the CLY or the Jsdoin.
Pros
Cons
Best for: The junction box is within 50 cm of the bracket and you want a 4,200 lm claim at a low price.
Less suitable: The cable must pass a cavity wall, or you want more than 30 ratings behind the stars.
Specifications
Common questions
How long is the lead?
The bullets state a 50 cm pre-wired cable.
What height does the listing recommend?
3–5 m above the ground.
How large is the review sample?
4.2 from 30 ratings on the saved page.
The GRIFEMA GD402-2 is a 20 W head listed at £9.99 with a claimed 2,200 lumens at 6500 K, SENS, TIME and LUX dials, a stated 2–12 m and 180° field, and a delay of 7 to 300 seconds. The body is small, 12 × 6.8 × 9.3 cm and 270 g, in metal and glass, and the included-components line says a 30 cm cable. UK reviews measure about 20–28 cm and say it will not pass a cavity wall. amazon.co.uk shows 4.0 from 1,005 reviews. There is no UK plug; reviews describe exposed tails for a junction box. The listing prints IP66. Reviews also include units that stick on, sensors that only trigger when touched, and a LUX dial that needed mid-travel before the lamp would light. The score of 73 reflects that short lead and the stuck-on theme. The manufacturer is given as Ibergrif Griferias S.L, with country of origin España. It is a low shelf price for a porch only if the box sits immediately behind the bracket.
Pros
Cons
Best for: The junction box is directly behind a small porch bracket and £9.99 matters more than lead length.
Less suitable: The tails must reach through a wall, or you need a sensor that reviews describe as reliable off the dial.
Specifications
Common questions
How long is the cable?
The included-components line says 30 cm. UK reviews measure about 20–28 cm and say it will not pass a cavity wall.
Is there a UK plug?
No. Reviews describe exposed tails for a junction box.
Do the sensor dials always work?
The listing prints SENS, TIME, and LUX. Reviews include stuck-on units, sensors that only trigger when touched, and LUX settings that needed mid-travel before the lamp would light.
The Jsdoin ADLQ80792 is the lowest-priced 50 W row here at £13.28, with a claimed 4,500 lumens at 6500 K and a stated efficiency of 90 lm/W. The title and bullets claim a 2 m cable, while UK reviews in the file measure under 1.4 m or say the lead still would not reach. The title and bullets say IP66 on the body and IP65 on the sensor, but the technical table's Specification Met line is IP65, so the weather grade is not one agreed cell. amazon.co.uk shows 3.9 from 2,319 reviews, and several of the first 50 UK reviews report failures at 3 to 18 months. Controls are described as time, distance and day/night, with a recommended height of 3–5 m and a weight of 590 g. Voltage and a metre detection figure are not stated. The score of 72 is the deduction for that cable clash and the early-failure theme.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a cheap 4,500 lm claim and you will measure the lead before you commit the joint.
Less suitable: You need a lead that reviews agree is 2 m, or a 4.2-plus average on a large sample.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the cable 2 m?
The title and bullets claim 2 m. UK reviews in the file say under 1.4 m or that the 2 m lead still would not reach.
Is it IP66 or IP65?
The title and bullets say IP66 on the body and IP65 on the sensor. The technical table Specification Met line is IP65.
How long do reviews say it lasts?
Several UK reviews in the first 50 report failures at 3–18 months. The listing average is 3.9 from 2,319 ratings.
Scores are out of 100, from amazon.co.uk pages saved around 19 October 2026. They use the star average and review count, then the stated lumens, controls, printed weather line and lead, then price against that evidence. Points come off for repeated defect themes, a very small sample, or a listing that contradicts itself. This is not a lab test and not a UK market ranking.

You are choosing a mains LED floodlight with a motion sensor for a drive, a garage, a side passage or a garden door. The eleven amazon.co.uk listings on this page were saved on 19 October 2026. The score uses review evidence, stated lumens, controls, the printed weather line and the lead, then price. It is not a lab test. A short lead or a tiny review file can outweigh a high lumen claim.
An LED floodlight with a motion sensor is a mains head with a passive infrared detector and a short lead for a junction box. You use it on a drive, a garage, a side passage or a garden door. The useful split is lumens, colour temperature, whether the sensor can stay off in daylight, the printed IP code, and how long the flying lead is. Watts are a weak way to choose. Cool white around 6500 K is the common panel.
A 100 W title with a 10,000-lumen claim is not a measured driveway. A 14.7 W housing at 1,375 lumens can still be the higher score. Match lumens and colour temperature to the wall, then read the review file.
Leads in this set run from about 30 cm to a claimed 2 m. Reviews on the shortest rows measure less than the listing and say the tails will not pass a cavity wall. A title that says 2 m is not settled if the reviews say under 1.4 m.
A listing that says there is no earth wire is describing that head. It is not a change to the supply cable, and it is not permission to invent the joint. If you cannot identify the conductors, call a competent person.
The first check is lumens and Kelvin for the place, not the wattage on the title. Cool-white panels in this set claim roughly 2,100 to 4,500 lumens. The Steinel FL 1400 S claims 1,375 lumens at 14.7 W and 4000 K. The Steinel XLED Home 2 S claims 1,550 lumens at 13.7 W and 3000 K. The NATPOW two-pack claims 10,000 lumens on 18 reviews, which is a listing claim, not a measured yard. A porch does not need that twin. A yard looks dim under 1,375 lumens.
You want a darkness threshold, an on-time and a distance control, unless the listing says the distance is already set. The CLY bullets say the 0–12 m distance is preset. The vighep 30 W remote changes time, sensitivity and mode from the ground, including night below 20 lux and always-on. The Lepro and the GRIFEMA print TIME, SENS and LUX. Prefer a code over the word waterproof. The Lepro prints IP65 on the body and IP54 on the sensor. The MEIKEE and the CLY print IP66 and IP65.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You are replacing a dead halogen on an existing junction box and you want a cool-white head under £20. The MEIKEE FLB025 is about £17.99, with 4.2 from 11,130 reviews and a claimed 2,100 lumens. The listing says there is no earth wire.
You are lighting a longer approach and you need the beam off a neighbour's windows. The Steinel XLED Home 2 S is about £99.99, 3000 K, and reviews say the lamp and the PIR aim separately. It claims 1,550 lumens, not a 4,000-lumen yard.
You will pay about £55 for a Steinel housing and a warmer colour, and you are not expecting 4,000 lumens. The FL 1400 S claims 1,375 lumens at 4000 K. The Amazon table says it is not water resistant.
The top pick is the Steinel FL 1400 S at about £55.49. It has the highest score in this set, 86, from 4.5 and 128 reviews, with a 4000 K housing, a 220° PIR stated to 10 m, and sensor cover plates in the box. It claims 1,375 lumens, so it is not the brightest row, and the Amazon table says it is not water resistant. Best value is the MEIKEE FLB025 at about £17.99, score 84, from 4.2 and 11,130 reviews, the largest sample here, with a claimed 2,100 lumens. The listing says there is no earth wire, and the instructions are listed as German. None of this is a lab test.
MEIKEE 25 W, 2,100 lm
Score 84 at about £17.99, from 4.2 and 11,130 reviews, the largest sample here, for a stated 2,100 lumens.
