4.0 out of 5 stars They work, October 10, 2009

Now ***
I bought 3 of these over a year ago - and they are still working well, even after a Maine winter.
So just bought another 2
The LEDs give something akin to good moon light - so don't expect 1000 watt flood lighting !
For seeing pathways on dark nights, lighting up steps, and perhaps as deer scarcer they work great. They come on as you approach and off about 1 min later.
They are designed to be hang on walls. The wedge shape is perfect for getting light during the day i.e. charging, and then lighting the area beneath them when a warm body passes by (IR activated).
If need be, the batteries can be replaced (the manufacture says ~2 years)

in short - simple, effective, a little costly (look around for a deal)

Post script
Sadly, one cease to function after the 90 days period - I replaced the rechargeable batteries with better quality ones - and its running again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great little light, March 13, 2010

These motion solar dusk to dawn are great little lights! I mounted 2 of them, one centered over each of my garage doors. Its perfect for what I needed - just a dimly lit driveway to find my house key. I didn't rate them 5 stars for 2 reasons. First, the way they attach to the mounting bracket. They lock on one side of the mount and not the other. I had to shim them tight so the wind (and boy do we get winds here) wouldn't blow them off the left side mounting hook. Second, I like them and would buy more but I think they are a little pricey. I also wish they came in colors - like white - instead of the greyish plastic they are moulded in. I know I could probably paint them but it would be a lot of work to cover all the sensors and you would still have the grey color inside the lens.

3.0 out of 5 stars Maxsa Solar Wedge Light, April 10, 2011

Great concept for outdoor lighting but has a design flaw in the mounting bracket. The metal bracket is easily secured to any surface but the light casing has a cheap plastic key that allows you to attach the light to the bracket. What you end up with is a tightly secured mounting bracket with a loosely attached light. If the manufacturer would re-design the mounting system this lighting concept would be a five star super value. The light itself projects a light beam resembling a bright full moon and works very well.
