I was saying in my previous blog post that our neighborhood has been going downhill for a while so we are ramping up our home security. We have been told after recent break-ins that lighting up your home is one of the most affordable things you can do to make it less of a target.
We put a solar motion light on the side of our house where our large gate is, which works great for that spot since we don't have a way to run wiring to that area. It works great for that space, but since our backyard is about 1/3 of an acre and is a pretty large space for one light to cover, we need something that didn't reply on solar power. This light is super bright and I mean BRIGHT. This lights up our entire backyard and has settings to adjust to whatever your needs are. We put it on the moon setting to only have it come on when it sensed motion. It is a 30 watt LED that has a 90% energy conversion, 120-degree wide beam angle to cover a lot of area and is wired with a standard UL plug. All you do is mount the light, adjust the angle and plug it in. It is safe for indoor and outdoor use. The cord is just a little over 3 ft long, we have one of the outdoor orange extension cords that we used to power it. It has 3 controls: LUX ----switch to "SUN", sensor works all 24 hours; to 'MOON' the sensor works only at night. TIME----set the light duration time, from 5 seconds to 8 minutes. (how long the light stays on after motion is detected) SENS----adjust the sensor's sensitivity to movement Detection distance: up to 12m (40 feet), Detection range: 180° twist-able up and down, left and right. We have a walk out basement and installed this right above the door. I think we may end up moving it to a more central spot on our house, but for now it lights up our whole yard. I can see my elderly dogs at night when they are hiding out by the fence and I don't have to worry about turning the light on and off for them anymore. We have 2 of the yellow CFL flood lights right outside our backdoor on the other side of our yard and it barely lights up the steps. To say this light is bright is an understatement. This light is great for lighting up your yard for whatever you need it for and would most definitely scare someone who came into your yard with bad intentions. If I look out my window into my backyard with my yellow lights on I would not be able to see past the steps on the porch and I can look out the window and see my entire yard with this light. I would not suggest pointing the light at your neighbor's windows if they are too close, they may not like you in the morning lol. The first order I placed for this was left at the house across the street by mistake and unfortunately they never gave it to me. UPS came by while doing the "investigation" and informed me. Just one of the many reason I need to make my home more secure in this crappy area. The seller responded promptly and made sure I had a new one sent out quickly, no questions asked. That to me is excellent customer service! You can get yours here! Check out LTE LIGHTING EVEN's other products here on Amazon!
