As the panel is integrated I would not recommend these in a north facing area, as it might not work as you would wish in the winter months, however it will work better than most non security light in that position.
Hi James, Thank you for your message. The panel is built into the light so it is importnat that the light is located in a south facing position.if the light is not in a south facing position you can consider a security light that has an extendable panel to place it in a south facing position
Hi, this is not adjustable, the only way to try to reduce the range is to angle the light downwards so it does not detect as much movement.
