Light that comes on is a signal; light that stays on is scenery · review
Philips states 3,000 lumens from 21 watts at 5000 K, with a wide beam angle, an aluminum body and four lighting modes selectable on the PIR sensor.
The conclusion The best published efficiency here, with the right color, two adjustable heads and 21 m (69 ft) detection. IP54 only: mount it under an eave.
Three thousand lumens from twenty-one watts is the best published efficiency in this hub, and it is not the reason to buy this light.
Lumens describe how much light is produced. Beam angle decides where it lands. A narrow beam at 3,000 lm produces a bright stripe down a path and darkness either side of it — which is worse for seeing an approach than half the output spread properly.
For a yard, a double drive or the space between a house and a garage, wide is the correct choice.
Softer than the 6500 K lights here, closer to daylight and considerably better at rendering color. That matters if a camera is watching the same area: a color image made under harsh blue-white light is far less useful for describing somebody than one made under neutral light.
Philips names them: test, security, dusk-to-dawn and manual override — on continuously at 80% for six hours at most. The on-time after a trigger is adjustable from 1 to 10 minutes. The listing describes no mode that idles at low output and jumps to full on detection, so do not count on ambient light.
An IP54 rating and detection from 0 to 21 m (69 ft) across 180°. IP54 covers splashing water, not jets: an eave is still a good idea. The listing also contradicts itself in places — it calls this 21 W floodlight a “solar lamp” needing “no wiring” — so check how it is powered before buying.
A wide area, and anybody with a camera pointed at the same place.

Because lumens describe total light and beam angle decides where it goes. A narrow 3,000 lm beam produces a bright stripe and dark edges; a wide one covers a yard evenly at lower intensity. For seeing what is happening across an area, wide wins every time.
Softer, and closer to daylight rather than to a parking lot. It renders colors better, which matters if the light is also feeding a camera — a color image under 5000 K light is far more useful than one under harsh blue-white.
Test, security, dusk-to-dawn and manual override, per Philips; manual override keeps the light on at 80% for up to six hours. The on-time after a trigger is adjustable from 1 to 10 minutes. The listing describes no mode that idles at low output and jumps to full when triggered.

The best published efficiency here, with the right color, two adjustable heads and 21 m (69 ft) detection. IP54 only: mount it under an eave.
Details checked on September 2, 2026.
A wide area — a yard or a double drive — where beam angle matters more than raw output.

20 W · 10 m (33 ft) detection, adjustable sensitivity · Everlight SMD LEDs · tool-free spring terminals
Brennenstuhl states 2,300 lumens, a 10 meter (32.8 ft) detection range with adjustable sensitivity, named Everlight SMD emitters, and spring terminals that need no tools to wire.
Best for: Anybody wiring the light themselves — the tool-free terminals genuinely change the job.

20 W · 2,200 lm · 6500 K · IP66 · adjustable SENS, TIME and LUX
A 20 W motion floodlight at 2,200 lumens and 6500 K, rated IP66, with three separate adjustments: sensitivity, on-time and the ambient light level below which it will trigger.
Best for: A first security light where the three adjustment dials matter more than the brand.
20 W · 2,000 lm · 6500 K · 72 LEDs · die-cast aluminum body · adjustable PIR modes
A 20 W floodlight with 72 LED emitters at 2,000 lumens and 6500 K, in a die-cast aluminum housing with an adjustable PIR sensor.
Best for: A position where heat is a concern — die-cast aluminum is what makes a floodlight last.
