How to make a 150W floodlight less glaring ?

Is tilting it down worth trying? If you can see the bulb when at the edge of your property then you have it too high. Or mount it really high and point it down - so that you don't look at the source.

Stick a yellow filter on it? The french ISTR found that a solution!

Thanks, that's a very interesting product - as the area of the light source is large it would probably solve the glare issue. Unfortunately my floodlight takes 78mm bulbs rather than 118m ones, so it wouldn't fit.

In answer to other posters, my floodlight is already pointed down as far as it will go (about 45 degrees) - the amount of down-tilt is probably limited because the PIR is directly under the lamp.

I'm assuming the O/P meant the PIR ...

Well I wondered . . .

It has an integral 433MHz transmitter which works with a separate receiver. When the PIR triggers it sends a signal to the receiver which generates a bingbong to infuriate the owner.

How strange, the web page doesn't mention the RF transmitter, the PDF manual does, The RF receiver is rated for 4 x 500W halogens, what's the idea, as soon as one PIR triggers you blind the intruder from all directions?

The section of the website is entitled "wirefree floodlighting", how many AAs does it run on then?

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Andy Burns saying something like:

Sounds like a modern version of Stalag Luft III.
