You need to know - my new review

I purchased one of these to put in my garage. not on, but in. I placed it on the far wall and it does a wonderful job. I open the door and it picks me up immediately and illuminates the inside of the fairly large garage. I tilt up the lights to prevent being blinded. I liked it so much, I ordered 2 more to go outside, front and back to replace ones that just did not perform well. The devil is in the details .Here is what you need to know.- The light is designed to be mounted vertically. i.e. on the side of the house, not overhead.- The biggest design flaw is that the sensor mounting bracket is really too short and here's why. The light works wonderfully in the garage because the main center light above the sensor is pointed up, but outside, where I want to tilt the light down, it interferes with the sensor alignment. Tilting the sensor down affects how far it will pick up distant moving objects. I even considered flipping it over, but the sensor will not swivel and has this side up printed on it. I have also read that light heat affects the sensor.- The sensor is not made to swivel horizontally. Same with the main center light, only the side lights tilt out, which is a bummer when you mount it on the side of the house. I like flexibility of light and sensor zone placement.Not sure if any light has all the bells and whistles. It is a really nice bright light. Just be aware of what I found out the hard way. Again, I still like the lights after a little modification.

Pros
  • Nice light , does exactly as described..
Cons
  • Heavy-duty packaging leads to high shipping costs
