Light that comes on is a signal; light that stays on is scenery · review
A fully adjustable spot: Steinel states 1,550 lumens from 13.7 watts, a 180 degree sensor reaching 10 meters (33 ft), and an LED panel that swivels freely in any direction.
The conclusion A spot, not a floodlight, and priced as a specialist product. Right when there is one thing to light.
This is the smallest, dimmest and most expensive light in the hub, and none of those are the point.
A floodlight lights an area. This lights a thing — a doorway, a gate, a parking space, the path between a garage and a back door. The panel swivels freely through 180 degrees, so the beam goes exactly where you decide rather than approximately where the bracket allows.
That changes how the output should be read. Fifteen hundred and fifty lumens concentrated on a doorway is brighter on that doorway than three thousand spread across a yard, and it leaves the rest of the garden dark, which is often what you want.
180 degrees to 10 meters (33 ft). Steinel states a sensor that tilts 180° vertically and swivels 90° horizontally, independently of the panel: that is what sets it apart from the XLED ONE S, whose two parts only tilt vertically. Put the beam on the doorway and turn the sensor towards the approach to it.
It costs four to six times the unbranded lights here and produces less light. What it offers is precision, a published sensor specification, and a finish that looks correct on a rendered wall. On a backyard that is not worth paying for; on the front of a house it may be.
One specific thing that needs lighting, on a wall people see.
Listed but with no offer on the American Amazon store — the reference exists there and nobody is currently selling it.
Prices and availability are what Keepa reported on the date this page was updated; both move.
Weighed against the median of its own range on this site — not against the security market at large.

For an aimed spot, yes. Output only has to be judged against the area it covers — 1,550 lm concentrated on a doorway is brighter on that doorway than 3,000 lm spread across a yard. Match the light to the job rather than comparing the numbers directly.
Because a floodlight lights everything and a spot lights the thing that matters. A gate, a doorway, a parking space, a trash enclosure — where the useful information is one specific place, an aimed spot puts all the light there and does not annoy the neighbors with the rest.
On specification alone, no — it is the dimmest and most expensive light here. What you are buying is precise aiming, 3000 K warm light and the know-how of a company that specializes in motion sensing, plus a finish that suits a house. Whether that is worth four to six times the price of the unbranded lights depends on whether it is going on the front of a house.

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.

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.
21 W · 3,000 lm · 5000 K · wide beam · aluminum · 4 lighting modes
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.
Best for: A wide area — a yard or a double drive — where beam angle matters more than raw output.
