Defiant 120-Degree Solar Motion Activated Outdoor Integrated LED Area Light with Double Lighting (Black)Purchased this on 8/13/20. For the price ($16.97 at the time of my post) and functionality this was exactly what I was looking for. Mounted on the wall of my apartment patio. Gets a lot of sun in the 2nd half of the day to charge batteries for overnight use. Initially it worked pretty well. A little sensitive to motion as in it picked up cars passing on the street about 30 ft away. Don't know if it was the car itself or headlight reflections or what. No worries. It's solar powered, right? It did pick up people, as it should, walking on the sidewalk that my patio faces and the light was bright enough. Thought this would be a keeper. However on 8/23/20 the motion sensing stopped working. The light itself seemed to still work as I could press the button to turn on the light but it only stays on for like 10 seconds which is what it's supposed to do until the next motion is picked up. I cleaned the motion sensing "eye" cover with a damp cloth and still nothing. This no longer serves a purpose without the motion sensing because there is no other way for the light to come on unless you press the 'power' button every time it goes off to turn it back on. Should I now pay someone to stand there all night to do so? Ha!
Did a lot of research on these types of lights. It was between this one and another well-reviewed one. Both are at Home Depot but this one is $4 cheaper. I was very hopeful but this didn't even last two weeks. I could have gotten a faulty product but I can't deal with the hope the next one won't do the same. Also, this kind of keeps me from purchasing the other brand because this really has been my experience with motion-sensing lights over the years regardless of the brand. I would prefer a light I can turn off/on from a switch but on my current apartment patio this is not feasible.
This is just my experience with the Defiant 120-Degree Solar Motion Activated Outdoor Integrated LED Area Light with Double Lighting (Black). Yours may very.
