Overview
The Tailcas 30W LED Motion Sensor Floodlight is designed to light up dark corners without draining your wallet. It boasts 36 LEDs, producing an impressive 2700 lumens of brightness, and uses just 30 watts of power. The light covers a wide 120-degree area and includes adjustable motion sensor settings—detecting movement up to 12 metres away. It’s corded, so installation requires wiring, but it comes with a 1.5m cable and mounting accessories included. Built from solid aluminium alloy, the IP66 waterproof rating ensures it’ll withstand Irish rain, frost, and whatever else the weather throws at it.
Our Hands-On Experience
When we tested this floodlight at CrimeStats HQ, the first thing we noticed was how bright it was—seriously bright. Perfect for lighting up driveways, gardens, or that dodgy corner around the side of the house. The motion detection worked well, picking up both people and pets with ease. Installation, though, did take a bit more effort, as it’s a wired setup—so you’ll need to break out the tools. But once it's up, it stays put and does the job reliably. It’s not packed with smart features, but for the price, you can’t really grumble.
Pros
- Extremely bright at 2700 lumens
- Adjustable motion sensor with customisable range and timing
- Solid waterproof aluminium build
- Affordable price point
- Energy efficient 30W LED
Cons
- Requires wired installation
- Only one light included
- No smart home integration
How It Compares
Compared to pricier solar or wireless motion lights, the Tailcas floodlight stands out as the no-nonsense, budget option. You only get one light, and installation requires wiring, but its brightness and durability outperform many in its price range. For those who want an easier, cable-free setup, other options are available—albeit at a slightly higher cost.
Final Verdict
The CrimeStats team gives the Tailcas 30W LED Motion Sensor Floodlight a solid 4/6 rating. It earns our Low-Cost Choice badge for being an ultra-bright, reliable, and affordable security light. Yes, installation involves a bit more elbow grease, but if you’re after value and performance on a budget, this light ticks all the right boxes.
