These solar motion sensor lights are exactly what we needed! Sturdily built; priced right; super bright light for the small size. I have Bought 4 - Love the ability to turn them on and off with the little pin included - we put one on our deck, but didn't want it coming on, etc if we're sitting outside enjoying a summer evening. We put two others above each of the windows on the garage end of the house to help discourage vandals. The last one is going on the front porch for those random times when someone might stop by without us knowing ahead of time, as we never just leave our front porch light turned on. At least they won't be standing in total darkness waiting for us to answer the door!
But If you have never used or installed a solar security light, there are a few things you need to know. First, location is everything. Unless you have it in a position where it gets maximum, direct sunlight you will not get the same performance that is promised in the specs. You will want the photocell array to be facing south, with no obstructions (including eaves, trees in the line of sight, etc.) Even in sub optimum locations, though, or during the shorter winter days, you should get a good five to six hours of this on low brightness after dark, and as long as it is not placed in a high traffic area where there is a lot of foot traffic, pets, etc., it will probably always switch to bright when the proximity detector is triggered.
