Great So FarVerified Purchase
We only installed the light 3 days ago so it is still in the charging phase so we have it switched off. I did test it after 1 day of charging it and was extremely impressed with the brightness and light spread that it produced. Does the job perfectly and makes for no more fumbling for the keyhole after dark. By Ben Humphrey on Nov 4,2015

I'd give it 5 but....Verified Purchase
This is the second we've bought of this item. The first worked well for its 2 years or so and delivered good light at our front door. I'd give this one 5 but one of the LED's in the outer circle is dead. Already chucked the packaging so wont be returning.
Good service. Prompt delivery. By Trevor Binnington on Nov 4,2015

Porch light defect Verified Purchase
On delivery the box packet was damaged. A corner was crushed in.
I examined the light and solar panel and it appears no damage. How ever the light switches on for 30 seconds and then off for 3 seconds and then back on for another 30 seconds and then repeats the sequence for about 2 hours. I have tried a different position for the light in the porch, and the same sequence occurs. I phoned your help line and I am pleased that a replacement is on the way. May be the damage to the box has upset the microchip in the light.

Very pleased but slight room for improvementVerified Purchase
I installed the light in our porch with the panel on the south facing wall outside it and it works like a dream. I was concerned that people walking past on the street after dark might trigger it but that's not a problem.
If I had any negatives, and it's only a small one, the plastic clasp that secures the light to the ceiling is very fragile. The screw holes are so close to the edge of the clip that it's very easy to cause the plastic to split when tightening the screws. Perhaps making this clip more robust, or even better out of metal, would fix the problem and this product would fully deserve a 5 star rating. By Tony C on Aug 14,2015

Solar PIR Shed/Porch Light
Early days yet but installation was easy and the light seems to do the job. Will be easier to judge how it performs in autumn/winter when the need for a shed light is greater and daylight hours are shorter. Pleased so far and, by the way, the Solar Centre were good to deal with. Kept me informed and quick destach. By Andrew S on Aug 3,2015

V good but could be improved slightly Verified Purchase
This is a very bright light and very good value for a solar motion light. My only small criticism is the clasp on the back of the light is hard to fit and we managed to snap it as it is plastic. It would be better being made of metal (superglue fixed it) By Sally Hall on Aug 2,2015

Received my Solar Pir Porch light installed it and was amazed at how bright it was. Thou I did have to send all the way to the UK for it, it's well worth the money as I have looked here in Toronto Canada for a solar light ,with no luck. Thanks very much for making such a great product. P.S With coming and going early in the morning and a lot of time not returning it after dark its great to have over my dark door to be able to is the key hole ,also to no when I get there the security of it coming on to welcome home.

Although I have only had this light installed it appears to provide the porch light I was looking for. So far it has performed well in the murky November days giving me just the light I need for welcoming visitors. Good powerful down light which doesn't give a "search light" output, Excellent delivery and service. By Phil on Nov 6,2014

Only been up for less than a week but the service was very good with very quick delivery. Easy to install with good instructions and parts included (screws and even a few raw plugs). Easily bright enough to light the front door and enough time to find the keys and open up. Looking forward to seeing how it does over winter but so far great, would recommend it.

360 degVerified Purchase
perhaps the 360 deg is right but I find that it is allprojected around the light rather than outwards and onwards.
It's great once you are actually under the light to find your door keys. But sometimes one needs a little projecton down the steps/path. By Val on Sep 25,2014

Solar light for shedVerified Purchase
I bought this movement sensor light to go in my new shed, and am very happy with it,it comes on as soon as I enter and gives a very good light, and goes off very soon after leaving, all by solar power. It has a very long cable so it can be fitted quite away from the solar panel. 3 screws fix the panel to the outside of the shed, and 2 fix a small back plate which the light hooks onto, all very easy, all in all a great buy.

SOLAR PIR PORCH LIGHTVerified Purchase
I submitted a review earlier today expressing my satisfaction with the service and delivery but missed out on two things.It's fitted and working but the back panel was loose with no small self tapping screws supplied to fix it to the holes already drilled in the body of the light.There is no reference in the instructions about these and without them the whole light holder would fall out.
The lights are superb but the it has to be either fitted to horizontal surface or directly onto a vertical wall which mean it shines directly at you with a blinding light when walking towards it.I had to make up an extension bracket to fit it over the garage door so it shines down to illuminate the external door locks.Also the lamp unit doesn't seem at first glance to be very weatherproof and the information sheet doesn't mention if it is for internal or external mounting.I'd like some answers please.

I would like to say how pleased I am with my purchase. I placed my order with you on Friday 16th March at about 3pm and the item was delivered at 11am the next morning. Installation was very easy ( about 30 mins ) and the light output is much better than I expected. I was so pleased that I have now ordered another product from you the Evo 15 security light. I would rate the porch light and your customer service as 5 stars. By Norman Henderson on Mar 20,2012

I bought this after previously getting the EVO56 solar powered security light, and for use lighting inside my garage which doesn't have power. The light is a decent brightness to allow you to see what your doing, but no where near the power of the EVO56 security light. I'd say something akin to around a 30w incandescent bulb. The PIR sensor is great as the light automatically turns on as you enter the garage. The light itself was out of charge when I installed as I kept turning it on to establish the bes positioning so it lost the "out of the box" charge. However within 3-4 overcast days with a few hours of sun there was enough charge for it to start lighting up again for the short periods (2-3 mins) I normally spend in the garage.Had the light around a month now and would recommend for anyone looking for a solution where you don't have power.

Was a bit skeptical when I placed an order. It's for our allotment shed where we can't get electricity supply. It was so bright when I first switched it on and the motion sensor switch on itself works perfectly. Install it in the winter and charging have no problem. Easy to install eco friendly what an excellent product! By Ginger Cat on Jan 18,2011

I was a bit sceptical about this light having experienced some naff solar things before but so far i'm quite impressed no its not as bright as a mains light. If like me you dont have a mains supply near your porch etc this is a resonable compromise. The pir comes on at about 4 meters away and stays on for about 30 seconds. By A UK Guy on Dec 30,2010

The sort of product that makes you sit up and take solar seriously. Gone are the days fumbling around the shed with my lighter this light detects me as I open the door and switches on automatically. Its a sintch to put up very bright and reliable so far. Had I gone the mains power route I would have had to fork out the best part of By Rich on Sep 7,2010
