Essential Info

Adding safety measures to your home doesn't have to involve expensive installations and a hefty increase in your electric bill. Keep your home safe using the sun's free solar energy by setting up the Solar-Powered Motion Sensor Outdoor Light . This motion-sensing light is triggered when you enter its 23-foot range, so it can light your way without staying on all night. The Solar-Powered Motion Sensor Outdoor Light is powered by the pre-installed rechargeable battery, so you won't need to replace batteries constantly, and it will even work during power outages.

    Installs in Minutes
    There's no electricity needed to power the Solar-Powered Motion Sensor Outdoor Light. With no wires to run, you can install this solar light in minutes. A 14-foot cable between the solar panel and the light lets you place the security light where you need it while allowing the solar panel to be installed facing the sun. This solar light will even work in cloudy weather, up to two weeks without any sunlight!

    Light Turns on at Dusk Automatically
    A built-in photocell lets the Solar-Powered Motion Sensor Outdoor Light know when it's dark, so it won't waste battery and bulb life by burning during daylight hours. You can adjust the light sensitivity if you desire. Additional features include adjustable motion sensitivity and adjustable length of light time.

    A solar-powered motion-sensing outdoor light is also available in grey. Extra batteries are sold separately.

    Hands on Research
    Installed in Southern California…I originally tested this light to replace a floodlight on the outside of a garage facing a dark alleyway, and soon learned that the light was not as intense as a true floodlight. The light’s intensity would compare to that of a large flashlight. After realizing the light would not work for my intended purposes, I installed the light just above a gate to my yard which adds a touch of security with the motion sensor feature. Installation was very simple (less than 10 minutes) and the 14-foot cable between the light and the solar panel gave me a lot of flexibility. It took only a few hours to charge, and the light worked the next night after a gray, overcast day. This light is ideal for sheds, barns or any outdoor structure that does not have access to electricity. Alternatively, if you would like to add a secondary light to your outdoor security lighting system, I would have no problem recommending this light.

    I ordered 3, 1 of 3 was damaged in package, have not returned package, as I was out ill from work and package was at work. The two that were not damaged are working fine, and were easy to install.
    MICHELLE -- silver springs, NV   8/18/2011
    I have had one of these before and it lasted several years before the battery finally gave out. After many years the plastic surrounding the motion detector shattered when I touched it while taking it down. I'm very glad to have found this product again. I bought 2 and HIGHLY recommend them to anyone. They work great, put off enough light to find your way and I think the newer ones are actually brighter than the older one was.
    TOM -- mount pleasant, SC   8/18/2011
    Product operates as advertised...Easy to install also!
    THOMAS A. -- bozeman, MT   6/9/2011
    Products were made with light, cheap plastic materials. I would have expected higher quality.
    DIANA -- sun city, AZ   5/13/2011
    The light was easy to install and provides a bright light when activated. It "sees" us even when we approach it from an angle so it should discourage thieves from trying to break in. We are so pleased we may order another one for another side of the house.
    RICHARD -- pahoa, HI   5/1/2011
    The adjusting devices on this unit are very poorly engineer. In broad daylight, they are extremely difficult to read. In addition, you have keep to keep readjusting the motion sensor as the knobs are on the bottom of the sensor. That said, once we did get it adjusted, it works as advertised. We will see how well it performs in a tropical setting out in the open where our rainfall is 120"/yr. It is mounted on our 2" light pole at the street.
    SHAWNEE -- la quinta, CA   3/15/2011
    great light and brighter than i was lead to believe. perfect for dark side yards.
    JOHN -- waianae, HI   3/12/2011
    Did not want to annoy neighbors with bright, wide-angle glare. Got two. These are great since sensor beam is narrow and can be for specific target such as front door. Especially like solar charger since wires to lamps are high. Am considering getting two more.
    TYLER -- frederica, DE   12/25/2010
    installing was easy follow the directions on charge up bright enought to light up a shed 12X18' cuts off at selected times
    LEANDRA -- yucca valley, CA   10/1/2010
    Works better than I thought...Great Product..Will buy again.....
    CHET -- palo alto, CA   8/29/2010
    Easy to install an d works well.
    WAYNE -- everett, WA   8/20/2010
    It appears to be a good product. But it would be a much better product with LED lights and a much smaller battery pack needed.
    BERTHA -- fremont, MI   7/17/2010
    I,m useing this light at my camp site for my security light as there is no electricity.It's great!
    DONALD J -- phoenix, AZ   3/5/2010
    The battery life leaves something to be desired. I'll be getting a LED setup next time.
    T -- phoenix, AZ   2/27/2010
    So far so good. I just installed it 2 weeks ago.
    MICHAEL -- saint paul, MN   2/26/2010
    Nice and bright. Used by the sea in an area where there is no electricity in Mexico. Long term survival in salt water air is unknown.
    WILLIAM -- port charlotte, FL   1/24/2010
    the light works fine. it took about a week to charge the batteries. i hope they continue to hold a charge. the return service was very good.
    TYRON -- vale, OR   11/25/2009
