Sunforce Solar Triple Head Motion Activated Security Light 1500 Lumens

This is a great little light. It is not real small, but not a big bulky light either. My son Matt hung this light for me with no problems. He said that it was really quite simple! (I assisted.) He hung the light on the east side of the house, not all the way to the eaves, but up about 10 feet on my two story house. I didn't want it to be so low that it could be easily taken down. The sensor has no problems sensing movement at this height. When the light is triggered on, it illuminates the whole side of the house with a really bright light. If someone were to walk near it, they would get a big surprise when the sensor picked up movement. We hung the solar panel first on the south facing corner wall of the house, up above the roof of the deck. This area gets sunlight all day long. Then with the cord/wire attached from the solar panel to the light, he tucked some of the cord/wire under the corner siding panel until it was determined the height which the light was to be placed. Then we were able to determine how far along the wall to place the light leaving a few inches of cord/wire left for play. This extra wire he wrapped this around the mounting bracket. After the light and solar panel were hung, I let the light charge for 3 complete days before turning on as the directions stated. The light has been working great for the past week. I would recommend this light for the illumination, capability of the sensor, ease of installation, cost, and sense of security it provides.

2018-05-14: I installed these lights on all sides of my work shop and home. The light is plenty strong enough to provide a pool of light for security purposes. The trip head and flexible adjustments makes it easy to get the light where you want it. Installation was pretty simple.You may want to purchase some black electrical ties (small ones, NOT WHITE because the white ties do not tolerate the sun and will fall apart) or other such devices to secure the wire running between the solar cell and the light fixture. My lights are installed high up on my workshop, about 20 feet high, and the solar cell was placed very close by the light fixture. It is very windy up there, most days in excess of 23 mph. Letting the wire flap around in the wind would result in failure of the wire.The light performs as documented and DO use the TEST switch position to verify operation before you take down that tall ladder!I will update this review after a few months to report on how system is holding up in the full sun exposure and wind. If all is well, I will definitely order more of this product.

light is bright, motion works good. battery life was not good. Installed light in spring batteries are already dead. 3 1/2 stars due to batteries

I like it used it for outside. front and back of the house. motion .adjust. charged by the sun do good .lights very well .

These seemed like the perfect solution to my lighting needs. Easy to install and nice & bright. The first 2 months went well and then one died. Now the second one turns on as soon as it's dark and stays on until batteries are drained. Both units are installed in a protected environment and are exposed to over half a day of sunlight. The location is rarely used during the night. I tried turn off the units for 4 days (with solar panels still exposed to sunlight) thinking the batteries needed a full charge, but this made no difference. The LED turns on when switch to "ON" but when switched to "AUTO" one doesn't activate at all and the other one just turns on when it becomes dark outside. Very Disappointed! Now I've got to go back to the old way and book an electrician to install mains power sensor lights.

I'm very happy with this light. I have only 1 con...in the pictures, I, myself had to walk just about to the trunk of the car before the light turnes on. So I would have preferred a longer distance of motion detection and I have it on high. Other then that, it's great and does what I need it to do. I have a flat roof, so I screwed some 2x4 pieces of wood into an H shape and mounted the solar panel onto it, this way I didnt have to drill into the roof, plus the roof is covered with tar and rocks. I also built a L shaped bracket out of 2x4 wood since I didnt want to drill into the brick wall. so I mounted this under the over hang of the roof which will keep most of the elements off of it.

Super happy with these. We have ours set to stay off unless the motion sensor picks up anything. I'm not sure if there are other options since my better half is the one who takes care of these things but that's the function we wanted and this does the trick. The solar charging works very well. We had one by our garden shed for a couple years and it still works very well. Purchased a couple more to light the dark areas around the sides of the house. And the bonus? no one has to run wiring for them!! Hooray!! I'm old enough to still think this is a function as great as the invention of the wheel.

Purchased 4 of the 1000 lumens and one 1500 lumen. Will be ordering another 1500 lumens for my cabin with half acre in the mountains....they have been subjected to a lot of snow. 4 ft. Last week. What I like about these lamps is they don’t need direct sunlight to charge and have replaceable batteries. I set they for 30 seconds. If your moving around in the area they stay on. With bears in the area its good to be able to see what’s in the area. With no other light near my cabin I’ll know if something makes it into my yard where it will be taken care of accordingly if there is an issue. I suggest buying the 1500 lumen to start with for the few extra dollars.
