This solar PIR light is great, it’s so much bigger and brighter than the one I was already using; it’s just over 8” long and 4” wide and it has 38 super bright LED lights in it. Going out to my garden from my back door I have 2 areas that get very slippy and dangerous in the wet weather and winter, so I wanted a really good light so I could see where I’m going. As I’m not able to put an electric light up, a solar light was the only option. I already had a small one up, but I needed something that lit up a bigger area and this Aukey solar lamp definitely does the job.

​

Not only are Aukey products very well made, they’re also very well thought out. The button for on/off and mode selection is on the front of the light; whereas previous lights I’ve owned have had the button on the rear, which isn’t ideal once it’s mounted. Also, in addition to the light, screws and raw plugs, you also get a cardboard template so you know exactly where to put the screws; such a simple idea, but very few manufacturers do it.

​

There are 3 options for the light; having it on a very low light permanently and then coming on bright when it’s activated, having it off  and then coming on bright when activated or having it on bright all the time. The PIR sensor is really responsive and comes on even when I’m a fair distance from it, Aukey state the light activates for movement up to nearly 32ft away and from personal experience I know it works within a wide area to the side as well. I initially had it on the default dim mode so I could see the hedgehogs, but now they’re hibernating I’ve switching it to off until it senses movement; but even with dark December days it was still changing from dim to bright when I went out to the garden. Another great thing is that it’s not overly sensitive, previous lights have driven me crazy , as the slightest little movement of a bush in the wind would set them off and on a windy night it was like a strobe light show.

 

This solar PIR light is great, it’s really bright, it's waterproof, the PIR reacts very well and it keeps the solar power to work, even on dark days, so I’d happily recommend it, especially as it comes with Aukey’s 2 years guarantee.
