Solar Motion Detector Light

A solar motion detector light is a great solution to feel safer at night. Most modesl have a variety of settings to choose from.

 Some are sensitive enough to detect motion from 25 feet away. That can be a good thing, but also result in the light going on when there is some wind, and vegetation is moving about a bit.

Benefits of a solar motion detector light versus a regular electrical motion sensor outdoor lighting.

Pros:

Mobility
The great thing with the solar powered motion lights is that they are very mobile. You can move them anywhere you want them to be in your yard. The only thing to make sure, of course is that they are in the sun dusing the day so they can be charged.

Cost Effective
A solar powered light is not dependent on your utility company and is therfore free to operate.

Cons:

The need for sun
The battery will need some 6 hours of sunlight per day. Days with rain or clouds can leave the battery drained, and the solar powered motion light will not light up when expected to. The need for sun can also limit the locations where the lights can be placed. Some models come with a remote charger, meaning the charger can be placed in the sun and cgharge properly even though the light itself is located where there never is direct sun. Plan carefully!

Price
The price for a solar motion detector light is higher than for electrical lights. The price may be offset with the convenience of not having to run cords, and being able to move the light around easily. there is also no operating cost. 

Do some thinking about what you will need from your solar powered light. Will you need flexible settings in order to not have many "false alarms" from leaves or branches moving in the wind?

Where will the lights go? Will there be enough sun there? Are there animals visiting your yard at night who will repeatedly set off your lights?

There is most definitely a perfect solar motion detection light out there that will fit your needs.
