Let there be light!
This product was delivered on time packaging was more than acceptable the light and the instructions to install it all seem to be an order. I was able to do a DIY install with only minor cussing required to get the mounting bracket to line up to the holes. Once installed and the breaker switch flip back on and the light switch turned on the light worked as advertised! I was then able to download install and connect the app to the light and the whole thing to my Alexa and I can now comfortably control the light manually or let it catch any movement. I used my official retired racing Greyhound to test the ability of the light to sense movement and it sure did surprised the hell out of him but I’m happy good job! I hope it lasts a long time.

Does not live up to its promise
If these lights actually did what they were supposed to, they would be 5-star lights. But they simply don’t do anything they are supposed to. I bought 4 of them to fully light up a very large back yard. I loved the features that said they can all be linked, can be run from an app, easy to program…. For the most part, I just leave them off and use a flashlight because they are so unpredictable. Total waste of money.- I have them linked in the app so whatever one does, all 4 are supposed to do (turn on together, turn off together, etc.). Yet, sometimes 1 is on, sometimes 2 are on, sometimes 3 are on. The app linking does not work.- Sensitivity does not work. Sometimes a bug flying in front of one triggers it. Sometimes me walking in front of it doesn’t.- In the app I have them set to always be on between 930pm and 1015pm, which is when we typically let the dog out for his final potty break for the night. They have never once come on at 930pm.- In the app I have them set so that after being triggered, they are to remain on for 5 minutes. On the random occasions they do trigger, they turn off in about 30 seconds.- Now they pretty much just flash white-red-white-red-white-red like they are an alarm system. I have never put them into that mode. They won’t come out of that mode. When you look at the app they are set to be in that mode. They don’t care, they’re going to do whatever they want to do.I could keep going but you get the point. I don’t know if the issue is the app doesn’t talk to the lights, or the lights don’t listen to the app. Regardless, these are simply not worth the money. Buy something else!

Good and Bad
Pros: Inexpensive, Good amount of brightness, Easy to install, Large range of adjustment of light beams,Cons: Wanted to have light that when turned on armed the motion detection and illuminated the yard for the amount of time that I had previously set on the timer. This unit when turned on flashes 3 times and then is off until motion is detected at which time it illuminates for the programmed time. Thus there is no way to turn the light on remotely to scan the property without going outside to set off the motion detector.Unit does not have grounding wire and instructions says it is not necessary???

Complicated to setup but great to operate
They took some time to setup, a tricky mix of app + a chinese-man-learning-russian-while-writing-a-manual-in-english …. not very helpful at all.I just don’t know how i made it work. App is complex to handle, no confirmation buttons so you never know if what you did works ok or not. They’re ok now and do what i want, i don’t use it fully outside, it’s always covered so i had no issues with the environment (water)

Mobile Phone control is SUPER useful !!
Why don’t all products to this ? Everybody has a mobile phone, and SOOOOOOO much better than climbing up and down a ladder to change settings. Looove the ability to point 2 separate lights in different directions. Also love the use of ‘constant on at dim levels’, which then goes to ‘full bright’ when motion is detected. Quite sensitive, and weather does not set off false triggers. The mobile app is good at identifying the light in order to install and configure. Physical installation was also very simple – however my experience was best to install by screwing into the wood frame directly since it had rubber seal around the housing. Be aware that using a standard round or rectangular outdoor electrical box will not fit the unit since it is an irregular shape – therefore best to simply screw directly to the house. If you do – be sure to set the tension on your electric drill since the unit is plastic.CAVEATS:1) You NEED to have a home WiFi network to take advantage of the convenient setup features.2) The app is a bit confusing since I thought that I could receive remote notification across the Internet if the motion detector was triggered. Bottomline – I don’t think this is possible.SUGGESTIONS:1) A new product that integrates the motion detector with a hi-def snapshot camera would be amazing.2) Improve the mobile app in order to subscribe for remote notification. I kept trying to figure this out but the menu was too confusing. The interface needs to be improved.3) Perhaps an integrated bubble level due to the irregular shape and it is impractical to carry a level up a ladder and try to level the unit while on a ladder.

Great little light
Works perfectly for my needs. There is no battery ot is hardwired so no need to worry about battery life. The size is on the smaller more compact side. It’s looks nice with its dark black color. The light is super bright and seems durable.
