Recommend Outdoor Lights?

Boggy Turf · 2017-02-20 22:30:15

I bought outdoor halogen lights in B&Q for my new build about 5 years ago. They are both rusty and waterlogged already so I need new ones. What material or make would you recommend? Nothing too bright - 1 for back door and for front of shed.

Hi, I and I imagine most others would recommend complete fitting replacement with LED alternative supplied by an electrical wholesaler.

I have not enough exposure to recommend a specific brand but wholesaler should.
As you appreciate, the Irish elements are very extreme on most outside items, especially if the lights are not used frequently (heat dries out ingress of moisture and critters).
