Product Information
Full details
The Smartwares XQ1223 LED Floodlight is an ideal solution for homeowners looking to improve security and visibility around gardens, driveways, and carports. Delivering a powerful 2400 lumens of cool white light while consuming only 30W of energy, it offers an efficient alternative to traditional 200W incandescent bulbs; however, users should note that the unit features a fixed 6400K color temperature, which provides a crisp, daylight-like glow that may be too clinical for some decorative ambient settings.

FAQs
Is this floodlight motion-activated?
No, the XQ1223 is a standard floodlight designed for continuous use, though it can be paired with an external motion sensor switch.
Can I replace the LED bulb if it burns out?
No, this model features an integrated LED, meaning the light source is built into the fixture and is not intended to be replaced.
What does the IP44 rating mean?
An IP44 rating means the light is protected against solid objects over 1mm and is resistant to water splashes from all directions, making it safe for outdoor use.
Is the light warm or cool in color?
It is a cool white light with a color temperature of 6400K, which is very crisp and bright, similar to daylight.
Can this be installed on a wooden fence?
Yes, provided the fence is stable enough to hold the weight of the unit and you have a weather-sealed electrical box for the wiring.
Troubleshooting
The light fails to turn on after installation.
Verify that the circuit breaker is active and check all wire connections in the junction box to ensure they are secure and correctly matched.
The light flickers intermittently.
Ensure the power supply is stable. If the issue persists, check for loose connections at the terminal block.
