Review on CLAONER Solar Lights Outdoor, 128 LED/4 Packs Motion Sensor 3 Modes 270° Wide Angle IP65 Waterproof Wireless Security Light For Fence Patio Cold White by Flee Pannell

Great lights for the right location/purpose.

None of these solar-charged lights put out a huge amount of light, so if that's what you're wanting/expecting, you should probably be looking for some other solution. However, if what you need is a basic, hassle-free light source in an outdoor area with no easy access to AC power, these are definitely what you want.For example, I'm in a new house with a long side yard that came with no exterior lights, and no pre-installed AC power sources. It's where the trash/recycling cans are stored, so I occasionally have to trudge out there in the dark (and it is DARK out there at night), so I needed an easy, "automatic" way to light up the area when I have to go out there after sunset. Installing a new power line for a motion-detecting flood light would be a PITA, and not worth the hassle/expense for my limited needs.These things are perfect for an application like this. They're small, but put out a lot of light for their size. They're neat/unobtrusive, and ridiculously easy to install. One little galvanized or stainless screw (not included with the lights) and you're in business. They also come with a two-sided adhesive foam pad if you prefer the "stick-on" approach, or don't want to put a screw in your mounting surface. They've got 3 different functions that are controlled/set with a little push-button on the front of the light. Low, stays "on" in darkness; bright, stays "on" in darkness, and bright "auto," that is, the light is off until it detects motion, then turns on and stays on until 10-15 seconds after it stops detecting motion. Point is, it's perfect under all conditions . will light/go off automatically if you're just walking past, but it you're staying in one place and need it to stay on for more than 10-15 seconds, you just touch the button to activate one of the steady "on" functions, then put it back on "auto" when you're done. Couldn't be happier with this purchase.

Pros
  • Love that it turns on when I approach, but doesn't stay on all night
Cons
  • Detaching from the mounting bracket
