Steinel LED-Spotlight XLED Home 2 S Silver, 13.7 W Floodlight, Adjustable LED Panel and 180° Motion Sensor, 10 m Reach, 1550 lm

I purchased this light to match some other Steinel exterior light fittings. Whilst not cheap, they are all very high quality fittings. We have just had our house rendered so the smart grey finish of these lights really contrast well against the light finish of the render. I particularly like the fact there are no external cables or fixings visible. The cable enters the rear of the lamp fitting and is all hidden. It’s actually really easy to fit as well as the rear fitting it’s screwed to the wall and the cable terminated into a terminal block. Once the electrics have been dealt with it’s a simple matter of wiring the 2 wires on the fitting to the other side of the terminal block and then locating it onto the rear fitting before securing with a small screw. The PIR is extremely sensitive and has a very wide field of view, this can be reduced by using a portion of the grey self adhesive mask that can be applied to make the sensor more narrow. There are 2 small adjusters on the bottom of the PIR, one for the light sensor and the other for the duration of how long the light stays on for. I would recommend this fitting, and keep an eye on the Amazon warehouse - I saved a considerable amount by purchasing a ‘returned’ unit that was still as good as new (albeit the box was a tad scruffy!)

I bought one of these and had an electrician put it up on the front of my garage as part of a rewire in October 2017. I think he may have given it a knock when installing it, as some time later I noticed a crack on the side of the housing. A couple of years later the front fell off the lens in the wind, revealing the LED's. I glued it back on. A year or so later it fell off again and I glued it back again.Eventually, in December 2021 I was walking past the light and it came on as normal then after a few seconds blew with a flash and a loud crackle that my wife heard from inside the house. Obviously it tripped the circuit. I was not surprised to find that it was full of water, and was surprised it had lasted so long after the front cover had been glued back on.I like the look of the light and the way it works so ordered another one to replace it right away. It only took me about 5 minutes to fit the new one as the backplate design it still the same and I used the old one that was already attached to the garage wall, so it is just a few wires to connect to the terminal block and one screw to attach the light to the back plate. The new one has a warmer light than the old one and looks brighter to both myself and my wife, although the wattage is the same.The motion detection on these is great and you don't get any "false alarms", as they only come on when something like a person, cat etc comes into range.Despite what some people have said, I have found that the lights can be moved by the wind. Not a problem for me as it is mounted quite low and I can just reach up and readjust the angle, but both the light itself and the PIR sensor on my old one moved several times in the wind over the 4 years I had it. There is a strong feeling click action on the adjustment for the light itself but strong wind DOES move it. The PIR moves around more easily. This might be a point worth considering if you are going to mount it high up.It remains to be seen if the front falls off this one or that only happened to the old one due to some damage when the electrician installed it. I am hopeful that the product itself is good, hence why I bought a second one.I have the higher wattage version of this light installed on the back of my garage pointing at my garden, it was installed in October 2017 and is still going strong with no issues, and that one has never moved in the wind at all.

Not that bright, depends where you need it. Took ages to link wireless. Cheaper, brighter lights on the market.

Installed 2 years ago and has been completely trouble free. Well designed and made and looks great on the outside wall. Modular design makes it easy to install, and the is highly adjustable for both the light and the PIR direction separately, which is exactly what I needed. PIR is sensitive from a decent distance. I find the light output is fairly mediocre and the warm white colour temperature is a bit dated for a floodlight, but these specs are all disclosed in the description. Unfortunately Steinel don’t do a 4000k version of this model, although they do a higher lumens output version.

I will provide another update after some months of use

somewhat disappointed with the light output of this quite expensive light., but appears to be well made.

*** UPDATED ***Originally wrote a very negative review after it failed, but also contacted the Steinel customer service team who immediately sent me a replacement under warranty without debate. So maybe not perfect but can't fault their support. Revised review below.===>Looks good and generally works very well, but design could be improved if installed in a windy location. The plug-in connector makes installation a breeze compared to other lamps, good (independent) adjustment for the sensor and beam angles and a decent amount of light. But... the vertical tilt adjustment on the lamp relies on internal plastic notches on the hinge to keep it at the desired angle, with no way to clamp it in position. So in a decent wind it may get blown flat (lamp pointing vertically down) whereupon the lamp housing can fill up with rainwater, blowing the (non-serviceable) thin-wire fuse.Happy overall after Steinel replaced the failed unit and the new one has a few design changes including a slightly stiffer hinge, but may still try to figure out a way to lock it in position.
