Re: [MBZ] OT: Solar powered motion sensor lighting
I have the little ones. Not super bright, but even a modest amount of light is enough when you're in the dark.

I need something more compact, in one housing w/o wires or a separate solar collector..

Re: [MBZ] OT: Solar powered motion sensor lighting
The newest use "COBB" LED lights, which are very bright. I have a version of the solar powered motion sensor lights on two houses. The ones I choose have a separate solar pack which is mounted remotely from the light. That arrangement gives much more in choices for location of the solar e portion. Wire runs from the solar pack to the light. Been in continuous use for over a year. No issues. Solar pack feeds the battery pack, which feeds the lights, which are mounted to give illumination for the security cameras, which are also motion activated, On Mon, Nov 26, 2018 at 9:00 PM Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > We have massive sun exposure in front - house faces due South - and on the > east wall where I need the lights.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Solar powered motion sensor lighting
We have massive sun exposure in front - house faces due South - and on the east wall where I need the lights. I had hoped someone had purchased one of these newer lights recently that claims to be REALLY bright.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Solar powered motion sensor lighting
Be sure you place the panel in a location that gets sun all hours of the day. Around my home the idiots toss the lights up where they want light, not where sun will be. Magic misunderstanding of how the things work, so they must function because the sun is out, even if the thing is placed in shade all day long. Guy up the street covered his roof with solar panels. Must be able to generate 3kW if they were not shaded by massive trees but for high noon. Solar water heater is equally occluded. clay monroe redgh...@comcast.net > On Nov 26, 2018, at 12:37 PM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes > wrote: > > I've seen compelling TV ads for these.

Even in the cold they seem to be able to maintain their charge. They have been out for a couple of years so far and are still working. The ones that we have use a separate charging panel with a cord that connects to the light panel. That permits one to put the charger where the sun will shine on it and the light unit in a darker spot under the eaves etc. The only issue I have had is with the plastic mount for the charging panel breaking off. Quite fixable as it is not the charging panel itself that breaks but still a bit of an annoyance.
