Discuss Faulty outside lights with PIR in the Lighting Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

This is what I got in mind;

Not sure about the colour. Damn wrong thread. Whatever.
 
I fitted some LAP barrel lights that a customer supplied, two out of four failed in 12 weeks, I changed them over for some replacements that screwfix gave the customer....All four have now failed after about 6 months. I told the customer £120 + VAT to go change them over again which I think is pointless. I would never supply lap fittings as I would be forever returning to jobs on warranty.

I thought it was frowned upon for you guys to install parts that the customer have bought, for this very reason.

It normally is but the OP would more than likely have got the fittings from screwcarp anyway.
