Thought I might mention that this is probably the best security light in solar available a bit pricey but well worth it. I've had mine three years with excellent results so far. The panel needs to be up on the roof preferably directly at high noontime sun and there is plenty of wire to do this, I used small cable tacks to secure to roof. In the Northwest you may get less light and for shorter periods of time but when it is faced directly toward sun, especially during summer with high noontime sun, it will work for over 15 days on one charge. I have three of them for a rental house and now will purchase three more for my new house. The best light to use for intruders especially if you can mount under an eave and shine directly into an unsuspected passerby's face, they will leave mmediately. The motion sensor works up to 75' that was the measure to my driveway from corner of house and it would come on when someone approached my house. Be sure to charge as per the directions the first time to get the full benefit from the battery.

Not worth it, cheap system failed only after a few months, what happens is the cheap battery goes bad and you have to keep replacing it, was hoping to maybe upgrade the battery can't seem to find any in this dimensions 5.25inch in Lenght 2 inches in width and 3 inches high.

Don't buy will be useless in a few months.

There are lots of solar powered lights, but most of those have puny LEDs which provide very little light. This one has a real light bulb and provides a good amount of light. It's not a 150-watt bulb, but it really lights up my driveway. It has a hefty battery as well, so it takes longer to charge, but if you want a more power out, you need to provide more power in. I have only two complaints - one is that the light is fairly tightly focused - I would have preferred it spread out over a bigger area (but then it would have appeared dimmer). The other is that it doesn't stay on long enough once motion stops or you walk out of the sensor's area. But those are both minor items. I love mine, and have given out two others as gifts.

The solar panel that came with this light needs three days of bright, noon-time sun to charge! Another solar light I use -- one I bought elsewhere -- will charge from the light of a lightbulb! So, as it's winter, wet and foggy, it may be months before this light is charged enough to use it! I do wish the product description and included this vital detail -- I wouldn't have bought it.

This worked great until the battery died after 1 year. I gave up searching for a replacement online. I would have called Heath/Zenith about a replacement but they only answer phones during business hours. Instead, I bought replaced it with Motion-Activated 14 LED Security Floodlight for a lot less money. It uses LED lights for much lower power consumption and has easy-to-replace AA batteries. That's what I recommend buying if you're thinking about this one.

We are very pleased with the Heath Zenith Floodlight. Living in northern California, we have fall/winter sun and had no difficulty in charging our light. Yes, we did let it sit in the sun for the required 72 hours. Works perfectly - we are very pleased. Would recommend to others.

Have had the light for about 6 weeks and it has not consistently worked at all. After the first (light) rain shower there appeared to be moisture in the solar panel. After installing per the instructions and charging the battery in the OFF position for 5 days, the TEST position has never worked, and with the switch in the 5-MINUTE position the light will only come on for about 30 seconds, switches off, then will not activate again. Disappointed in the quality of this product.

Junk,Worked ONCE...Now I have to take it back,waste of my precious time,total junk...Couldnt give it less than 1 star,but it dosent even deserve that..JUNK>><

Since this is solar powered the light will only give you about 30 mins of strong light. The beam works great for my driveway as it projects an eight foot beam. I bought two. Be sure to wrap the box with a couple of plastic shopping bags as it is not weather proof.

This light does exactly what it says it will do. You have to follow the directions and not turn it on for 3 days of sunlight. After the 3 days, i turned it on and adjusted the sensor, it has been working perfectly ever since. It is not the brightest light, but serves my purpose effectively. I have it shining down my driveway and it lights up nicely. Bottom line is if you don't need a really bright light, then this one works great.
