Once activated and the light is on, will it stay on if there is little movement, eg, people sitting down around a table as you would want from a normal light?

No, this is motion only. You can choose a low light mode, but this will activate to brightness when there is movement, so would not recommend it.

Question:

Hi. Does this come with a way to shut off the motion detector? We've had one before and every time a cat walked near it in the garden, it shone brighter. Annoying if your bedroom is above it. Could you tell me how sensitive the motion detector is? Thanks.
By Stephanie on Mar 28,2021

Answer:

Please see the different modes below: 

 

Mode 2: Light is set to remain at low brightness until motion is detected which activates high brightness for up to 25 seconds
Mode 3: Light will only activate when motion is detected for up to 25 seconds [This is the best mode for winter]

Press 1: Light ON - Press and hold for three seconds
Press 2: Switch to Mode 2
Press 3: Switch to Mode 3
Press 4: Light OFF - Press and hold for three seconds

 

There is no way of shut off the sensor.

Question:

could you please let me know the dimensions and how it is fixed to the wall thanks
By Fran Taylor on Jan 7,2021

Answer:

Please carefully consider where you wish to install your light before making alterations to your property. It’s particularly important that the solar panel receives as much sunlight as possible. Ensure that it is not obstructed by buildings, fences, trees, sheds, etc, or the shadows that these create.If the solar panel is installed in a poor location, it may not perform to the best of its ability.The Kingsbridge can be mounted onto a flat, vertical surface,such as a wall. Once you have decided on your light base location, place and mark the two holes you need in the mountingbracket. Place the light aside, drill your two marks and mount using the supplied screws and screw plugs. 

 

Dimensions are: 27cm x 16.5cm x 15cm
