This security flood light has 9 LEDs that are powered via an integrated glass protected solar panel and rechargeable batteries. The solar panel comes complete with a 20-foot cord for remotely locating it in direct sunlight. A 180 degree motion detector ensures security for your garage exterior, deck, driveway, back yard or walkway. A dial controls light duration, while a second dial controls motion sensor sensitivity. The battery capacity allows the light to stay on for fifty 30 second cycles on a full charge. The light head and motion sensor have vertical and horizontal adjustment.

one small bug...

Ok, first let me say that i have these on a lightly wooded 3.5 acre lot.. only in the back so call it 2 acres. I have the perimeter lined with 10 of these units and just ordered 10 more. The range of the motion sensor..is about 30-40 feet. I think the amount of light is good for a solar light. Mounting was easy, I do agree that there is not a lot of flexiblity but I didnt need any just hung them up. But here is one minor thing.. there does not seem to be any photo cell.. in other words.. these lights dont seem to know when its dark outside.. so they come on during the day when they see motion.. isnt this a waste of the batteries? I guess that adding a photo cell to fix this would add cost and be another thing that could break and lower reliablity.. so i still gave this light 5 stars..

Inexpensive yet reliable

For the price this is an adequate light. Be aware that it's illumination is typical of this type of bulb. Yet, it is reliable. The solar panel is not secure in it's holder but, this is of rather small consequence to it's over all functioning.

not very flexible

this works as advertised, but it is not very flexible= the head does not tip down very far, and you can't mount it upside down. To work around it, I mounted it face down which worked. Note that with the batteries included if you keep it set to stay on for a long time, it will kill the batteries quickly. One really nice thing is that the included rechargeable AA batteries are easily replaced/ upgraded to more powerful ones.
Side note- the head is rather large to accommodate a reflector, but since LEDs are a very directional light source, I don't know how much extra output the reflector does other than make it bigger....
