weatherproof pir sensor ?

[steveo3002]

im still struggling to find an outside light that can put up with uk weather , can anyone reccomend a water tight pir sensor that they use themselves that will last in uk rain

i search ip65 units and seem to just have ip65 spammed into the description or dont have good reviews

thanks

I looked for IP66 spec ones and found one with a five year warranty - is that the kind of thing?

The ones from Lidl have lasted ok at our cottage.

Exposed. About 30m from the north sea.

The Lidl one was a better design than the original one which filled with water. I'll have a look at it on the weekend and see if it's had any issues.

Not a personal recommendation, just a Google result

Our screwfix cheap pir light has been fine, not under the eaves and quite exposed on our back patio doors.
