You need a switch of some sort. If running from the light circuit then just a light switch will do. If spurring off the ring main then you need a switch Fused connection unit.

If you don't have a switch how are you going to turn it off when you need the change the bulb?

I hope that this security light isn't a 1/2 kilo watt jobbie, you may find that bulbs don't last long after the neighbours get pissed off with the glare an throw stones at it.
