  Is it water/waether proof so it could be installed outdoors ?

  
  
  A " security lamp " would not be of much use if it couldn't be fitted outside.

  Have one when they were £5 at Lidl and its a total waste of money, just no good outside no matter how much its weatherproofed it blows blubs all the time

  120W isn't very much for a halogen security light. The ones I have are 500W.

  IP44 rated according to the OP. So to answer the above question they are splash proof rated basically/officially - "water splashing against the enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effect". Think you'll be fine for rain!

  Do these have a dusk sensor so only come on in evenings?

  Yup, they should be fine in any weather conditions, they have a 3 year guarantee anyway so if they fail you can return them.
  Just remember to get the correct electric cable for outdoor use, TRS (tough rubber sheath) cable will be fine.

  Security lighting above 150W is frequently regarded as having potential for creating light pollution and statutory nuisance.
  Local authorities have a duty to take reasonably practicable steps to investigate complaints of statutory nuisance, and most LAs would act on a report of light pollution nuisance, with many having online reporting systems in place to facillitate easy receipt of light pollution complaints.
  A diplomatic approach is offered by Rotheram MBC, although the first line of text on the webpage is the link to the "make a complaint" page:
  http://www.rotherham.gov.uk/info/564/lighting-street_lights/658/light_pollution_and_nuisance/1
  Obviously no issues if lighting / glare does not fall on others' or public property.

  Is the bulb exactly horizontal? Is it only triggered occasionally or is it flashing on and off with monotonous regularity?
