okay i bought these um lights at sam's they were 24 and you get two lights
they're basically um solo lights and they have a battery on the back and the battery is
actually replaceable if you need to replace it here's the um actual box if you could see that
um it's got 1200 loomers solar powered wireless linkable technology waterproof
40 warm white leds no wiring required
motion activated powered by the sun up to eight hours of light rechargeable battery included and
linkable linkable means that um the two lights inside you get they're linked together for an
rf frequency and what happens is when like one light comes on the other one comes on as well
and um here's the back of the box again it's um sam's club they have these for 24
right now they may go cheaper because that's like the standard price and all they have is an on
button in the back i thought maybe there was like a a detection switch or something or
like different um angles that you could adjust it goes at 120 degrees for detection
and it uses a 2000 milliamp lithium battery as its battery source which is replaceable
i'll try to get that on this
um and they say the math it's six at least six feet from the um ground for best coverage
so we'll give it a shot um again here's the here's a picture has the solar on top you mount
them flush and then um they don't give you a very good pattern like in a cover like a door or window
but since there are two of them we're hoping that we could cover two windows with it
and it has a detection region of um 26 feet supposedly
so we'll give them a shot i'm gonna install it tomorrow
or you won't know because i'll just install it and put this this part in the video um
solar lights need to be charged in full sunlight for 8 to 12 hours with the switch on
the on position to allow the batteries to reach maximum capacity so we got to turn them on i'm
going to put them by a light bulb supposing you could charge these things by light bulb
the fixture will stay on 30 seconds when it's triggered by motion
and then revert back to a standby mode of 20 lumens until the motion is detected
so i'm assuming that when it gets detected it goes to the full um 1200 lumens or whatever and then
it goes to a another light mode which is only 20 lumens and i would assume it stays there
um we'll see what happens comes with two lights minimum of six feet from the ground
a detection range of 26 feet the angle was 120 degrees so we'll see i'll let you guys know
okay so here's the light again i was going to show you how bright it is when you first turn it on
um it's pretty bright i'll turn off the light and we'll see what else
yeah it's pretty bright when you first turn it on and then after 30 seconds it goes to a dimmer mode
and you're supposed to charge it well let's see you just went to a dimmer mode
and you're supposed to be able to charge it while it's in this state which is kind of weird
i'm going to just put a light bulb next to it and keep it on because you have to charge
it for eight hours and supposedly um you could charge these with a standard light
okay because it's night out and it's also be raining tomorrow i want to charge these things
up and i read that you can just use regular led bulbs to charge them up it takes longer
because it's not as strong as the sun but i've got three of these bulbs aiming at both lights
and we'll just let them sit like that for at least 12 hours
and then tomorrow i'll install them on the side of the house
okay this is the new light that i just got from sam's it's in its 20 loomer state right now
i guess it stays like that at night and i'm about i don't know like
10 feet away right now and it just detected me and it's lighting up the two windows
kind of nicely i got my camera over there i'm hoping that if i put a couple more across this
side of the house or get some pretty good coverage they kind of link up together so when one goes off
the other one goes off um they come in pairs like that you can't put like three or four
in that kind of um link mode but you can put put two in in that link mode
24 for two of these lights and it does seem to um
light up the ground and everything pretty nicely around it i would say easily
15 feet from it it lights up the path um which is pretty nice it's 1100 lumas see it just went to
its 20 luma mode i assume it stays in that 20 luma mode all night long as long as it's it's dark out
and then when it does pick up detection it goes to its 1100 or whatever i don't know if
it's 1100 for two of these or or 500 each see there it goes so anywhere if i go near this
these windows at least it lights up now here and i installed it seven and a half feet from the ground
it says in the instructions you need to be at least six feet from the ground
i don't know i'm not gonna try to figure out if there's a better um method to do that or not i
will probably put four of these things on the side of the house and um we'll see what happens
