Mains outdoor lighting

This gives the brightest light, and is used for security lighting, or where bright light is needed outside. However, because mains cable is needed to power the lights, it must be well protected. If the light is wall mounted and the cable comes straight out of the wall this is no problem. If the cable is to be buried underground, armoured cable must be used, as a spade could easily go through ordinary mains cable.

Security lights with PIRs, etc. can be found at securitylighting
