Jorft Solar Security Lights, 56 LED Solar Wall Lamp Human/Light Sensor Waterproof Super Bright Lights for Garden, Fence, Door, Yard or Entrance Use

We wanted a light in an outbuilding that meant we didn't have to keep switching on the main lights (several bulbs and strip lights) to halp save electricity and make life easier.This works really well.The light / sensor is just above the door to illuminate the inside, but the solar array is outside connected by a decent length cable to the side of the building.So, walking in the light just comes on and it goes off a minute or so (45 seconds?) after we've left - easy and, as long as it lasts us a few years, it'll work out much cheaper than having to keep putting on all of the lights when we really only need light at the entrance end of the building - we keep an extra fridge / freezer and our bikes there, so rarley need to have light further into the building.

This is one of those occasions where I looked for a product, didn't find it and put up with things for ages until I refined my search and 'Voila!' found just what I want.The front door is on a north facing wall. Where I live they helpfully turn off street lighting at night (so why have it at all!!?) to save money. This means that the front door is in relative darkness. There is a light on a nearby wall but it is masked with a massive climbing hydrangea and there's no power on the wall near the door to set up a better placed light. It looked like the hydrangea had to go or be severely cut back which would have been a really big job and a shame because at twelve foot high and close on twenty foot wide it looks spectacular when in flower.I spotted this which allows me to fit the light inside the porch and the solar panel outside. It took about an hour to fix but most of that time was spent looking for suitable screws - it does come with its own fixing kit but I was attaching to the PVC porch and not to a wall so I wanted something which had more bite.As I said earlier it is on the north facing side of the house, it is February and the weather the last few days has been decidedly grey. I put it up around noon and it was charged and doing its thing by six pm. So it is easy to fit and very bright. Can't comment on motion detection because it's mounted inside a porch a foot or so above head height so it doesn't need to be that sensitive in order to work for me, it comes on when I open the door to go out and when I come back and that's all I need.It seemed to have a bit of a charge when it arrived because the light flashed when I took the bits out of the box and connected them up. It didn't light up immediately when I assembled it, the plug which connects the cable from the power supply to the lamp needed to be pushed home and twisted to make a good contact - and that wasn't really a problem just part of the assembly process. There's also a minor pimple in the surface of the otherwise smooth solar panel, obviously I don't know yet if this will affect durability.Overall I am very pleased with this product and would buy it again

I don't know how long this light's solar panel will stand up to a UK winter or how long the battery will also last but regardless of that, its great value for money. Easily installed and the light is very bright indeed. Perhaps not the arc of motion detection of some competitors but still good enough and sensitive to motion.So far, no false alarms but you might want to site it away from any sudden heat sources e.g. the outlet flue of a boiler or similar which could / might set it off.

I was dubious about this. But it’s brilliant. No it wont work in a shed in daylight. The light sensor is on the solar panel so if light outside it doesn’t turn on. I never bought it for that.It lights up the back area for the partner going out for a cig. Sensor is sensitive which is good.We haven’t been out all night to drain it, the winter months will see how it goes but so far even on the gloomy days here in scotland seems to charge well.14 mar 2022Well after nearly 1.5 years LED’s have started to fail on the panel. Yep it’s been exposed to the elements but I didn’t and wouldn’t expect failure. Over the last 2 weeks 4 more leds have went off.Such a shame as one of the better products I have bought!

I bought this to light the path at the side of the house and I thought solar powered would be enviromentally friendly and would save me electric. It worked fine for 9 months then conked out, so wrong on both counts and too late to return. Water had ingressed via the power connector so not waterproof as stated. I don't know if that was the fault but at end of the day, it no longer works so a waste of money.In practice I found that cars passing along the distant road would set it off as well as any cat or other animal that may wonder past which is a bit off putting late at night for myself and neighbours.If you are looking for an outside light go for a mains powered one that you can switch on and off yourself.

Note this light will not come on unless the solar collector is in darkness. How stupid! So its completely useless in a building with no windows. Also the collector must be connected, so you can't take the light from it's bracket and use it like a torch.Pity as nice white light output and PIR detection worked fine - they easily met my expectations for the price.There are no controls to vary light sensitivity or timing.Straightforward to fit. The tiny mounting brackets are fine for the lightweight units. But they are unsuitable for uneven surfaces like brickwork - you'll need an interim mounting piece.A generous 5m lead is included (hardwired to the solar collector). But there is a hole where the cable enters (which I filled with some sealant).
