User Ratings and Reviews
2 Stars Ehh….
I wanted something for my garage out in the back yard, thought this would be great since there is no power out there. The light works fine, for now, but it is bovious that it is not constructed well at all. It is no very bright, but enough so you don’t trip over stuff. It was very easy to install, and yes, they should have given instructions as to what to do with the metal rod. Took me a minute to figure out that it is an optional brace for the solar panel. If it cost any more, I would pay for the shipping to return it. I would NOT buy another one from this company, but DO PROMOTE the use of solar power in any way possible.
5 Stars Solar light
I purchased this light to put in our outhouse at camp in Upper Michigan.
We do not have electricity at camp and I thought this would be worth a try to get some light. Installed it this summer and it has been working fine since then. On the low setting , 5 LED’s, it gives off enough light to take care of business and even read by. The high setting, 10 LED, is better to read by and plently light to light up the outhouse. I was so pleased with how it work I purchased a second on for the storage shed.
3 Stars Decent and convenient
The light isn’t the brightest but it serves its purpose. The package was a little beat up and there was a crack on the light. Since the light works and it was only cosmetic I kept the unit. I have it in my closet since I don’t have any lights there. Having an older house I drilled a hole through the wall so I can attach the solar cell(mounted on my window)to the light inside my closet. The only thing that really bugs me is the angled adapter that plugs into the light. This made it difficult for me and I had to make a larger hole than what I expected to get the power cable through. I figure that if I re-build my room I can install this unit in my shed at a later time.
4 Stars Hit or miss
I can see why there is a dichotomy with the ratings. We purchased two of these for our detached garage. One of the lights gives off a relatively bright light, enough to find one’s way around with ease at night. The other light was not as bright. The light has a hi-lo switch, and even on the ‘hi’ setting, the dud-light gave off only a dim glow. We did not return it for another light because after the hastle of installing this light with the solar panel on the roof, it didn’t seem that important to us. For future purchasers, remember to give it a test run before installing.
1 Star Still in the dark
This was a disappointing purchase. First of all, nowhere either in the ad or on the package does it iindicate how much light it gives off. Second, my 10 x 10 shed is still relatively dark.

This solar motion security flood light is a cost effective and environmentally friendly way to provide safety and security to your home. With 5 LED’s in each light fixture and a passive infra-red motion sensor, you can rest assured that any movement in the yard will be detected and create a 30 second burst of light. You have 15 feet of cable to put the solar panel in the sunniest place possible while mounting the security light in your desired location.
During the day, the sun charges batteries. At night, you can expect enough stored energy for 500 operations of 30 second bursts. Each light fixture can move up, down, left, and right to assure proper positioning. Further, the mounting bracket is hinged so as to allow you to position the lamps nearly anywhere…fence, wall, and corners included. Simply stated, this is one of the best solar flood lights on the market today.
