Quick and Easy Solution for Outdoor Security Lighting
This is my second solar-powered spotlight. I use them both as security lights on the side of my house where we don't go much. They turn on automatically when it gets dark and they turn off when they detect light.
This all enclosed system has a a shaft with an attached solar panel and spotlight. You can move around the lights and the panel to whatever position you think might work best. Keep in mind that it turns off when it detects light so don't put it someplace where other lights will keep it off.
The spotlight is designed to be staked into the ground but if you want you may remove the stake and attach the base to a wooden surface. They have included three screws and three drywall anchors.
The system is waterproof and I have been using it for a little more than a month. Winter time is not the best time to be using a solar light for three reasons: 1) there is longer nighttime in which would like the light to be working; 2) there is less daytime to charge the light; 3) the limited daylight is of less quality in the winter because of the angle of the sun in the sky so the batteries have a harder time charging.
While all of that is true, I used my head and countered by setting the light on the low setting. So far, I have had light shining no matter how late I come in. The sun sets before 6PM here and it can be pitch dark by 5PM if the cloud cover is right. Still, this light is glowing strong after midnight.
This would also be great on a camping trip, assuming you set up camp in time to let the solar battery charge up.
The instruction manual is well-written in easy to understand English.
As of the time of this review, this solar spotlight cost $20.99 on Amazon.com. Check here for current pricing: Litom Soleil P2 Solar-Powered Spotlight
Note: I received a free spotlight in order to make an honest review.
