hey guys I just got a new solar light by Sweet Home Light. I'm out here it's
actually threatening to rain but I'm gonna take it to look at the light in
the box and get it installed and then come out later maybe either later today
or tomorrow and see how bright it is now the company says that this is one of the
brightest LED solar lights on the market and it's said to put out 950 lumens
that's super-bright I do have several solar lights outside in various
locations I think they're in in general solar lights are terrific because I well
not only do they save money on electricity but I just don't have the
wiring available to plug something in so it has as I said it has 86 LEDs and
that's a lot this should be bright okay pretty straightforward there these
sensors in the middle it's got the solar panel on top and on the back
there is a switch let me get the instruction manual so I can see okay so
the switch on the back goes between off one two and three there's a highlight
mode a dim light sensor mode and just faint sensor mode so this light is
obviously it's wireless it's solar and supposed to be maintenance-free the
other solar lights that I've had pretty much maintenance-free it's waterproof
with an IP65 rating so um Constanta withstand heat rain and
extreme weather conditions
so what I'm going to do is install it along my fence I have a problem here
with deer and muscle feral cats all kinds of creatures coming in eating
flowers and disrupting my little pond so I like it I like the motion sensor
lights and also just for walking out at night it's really dark here at night
okay so it has a 270 degree lighting angle and then a a 120 degree sensing
angle and it's said to sense motion up to 33 feet and it has a nice big solar
panel on top which is necessary for 950 lumens
that's pretty bright so it comes with this little baggie of hardware with the
screws and the what are those things called pot wall anchors
but I have with us some other whites have just used a nail also so I'll see
what what works best with this so I put this on the fence and I ended up using
two nails instead of the screws that it came with initially I put the screws in
only took a second but then I realized they couldn't reach the back with the
controls and then I remembered that's why I had used nails on my other solar
lights because if you use the screws that they come with you can't access the
back to change between the different settings which I guess would work if you
always wanted to leave it on one setting
but at least I want to demonstrate the different settings and want to have the
flexibility to change it so I took the screws out and put nails in so I can
slip it on and off I suppose you could install it loose enough see and kind of
lift it up in the back but that didn't work for me so anyway it's up there
so here's the light after dark it's lights up the the gate and the driveway
really well now the position the location that have the light the sensors
pointing down so if I wanted more sensitivity with motion detection I
would place it higher and that would be more effective in that case so now the
light is off and she turn on as I approach
it's a nice bright light I'm not sure how well the camera picks it up but it
illuminates a large area and it has been overcast for a couple of days so I went
ahead and decided to go ahead and film this
that screeching is sounds like a dog
okay God show another ankle
so see how that works out I planted sunflowers and there's some gladiolas
and so on along the fence that should be coming up soon and we'll see where it
keeps the deer away with a motion detection or maybe they will just thank me
for providing more light for them so they can enjoy the sunflowers anyway in
any case thanks for watching
