by Maxxima

Product Description

Maxxima introduces the SDL-60 heavy duty LED Occupancy Sensor Light. This light is an addition to the MLS series of Occupancy Sensor Lights with new and enhanced functionality. The SDL-60 is built with heavy duty materials and is weather resistant. This is perfect for use in your home in traditional applications like your bathroom, hallway, basement or garage, or outside in a sheltered environment such as by the front door of your home, or under the overhang of your garage. (not made for direct contact with rain). With the SDL-60's 18 LEDs this light will give you a much brighter viewing experience than our other occupancy sensor models. This light is mainly geared towards those customers who require more light that the traditional night light or occupancy sensor light. This light can really help guide your way in the dark, or be a perfect solution during any power outage. Best of all using the SDL-60 will help you save energy and save batteries with the 18 long lasting white LEDs inside. The SDL-60 can be used in many different ways. The light comes with a base stand. The stand is magnetic, and also has 4 screw holes for easy wall mounting. The stand itself is a swivel stand so you can adjust the angle you want the light to focus. The SDL-60 can also be easily removed from its stand, and has a magnetic back so it can be mounted on a metal surface without its stand as well. The back of the light has two separate wall mounting clips so the light can be mounted without its base vertically or horizontally.

4.0 out of 5 stars Super Bright LED Floodlight, April 2, 2008

The SDL-60 is the big kahuna of battery-powered LED lighting. This large light only takes 4 AA batteries, but sports an array of 18 bright LEDs. This light would be ideal for a basement, garage or sheltered outdoor lighting (like a patio or covered porch). This light may also be effective in scaring away nocturnal outdoor pests like raccoons because it is so bright.

The unit is a power miser, using energy efficient LEDs and employing both a light sensor and a motion sensor in auto mode. This means the light only comes on at night when it senses motion. It can also be turned on permanently or turned completely off.

The unit can be mounted on its base, which contains a powerful magnet. This is useful for affixing the base to a filing cabinet or a metal organization unit, for example, in a garage or basement. The base also has holes if you wish to screw mount the base to something that is nonmetal. If you choose to forgo the base, the light panel itself has props on the back (like a picture frame) so you can orient it either horizontally or vertically.

The light output from this unit is substantial. It would be best mounted overhead facing towards the ground or pointing horizontally along the floor. It is too bright to mount at eye level or where it would shine in a person's face.

Cons: Piercingly bright. I would not aim this at eye level. After about a month of use, my SDL-60 became stuck on at intermittent times.

Pros: Highly adjustable (swivels, rotates - if using magnetic mount, and can stand on its own supports). Energy efficient.

3.0 out of 5 stars Works great for a while, April 10, 2009

This review is from: Maxxima 18 LED Occupancy Sensor Light (Misc.)

I purchased this light about a year ago, and during the summer it was great, I set it up pointing at my front door so I (or guests) could see the path and lock when I came home after dark. Bright light, relatively focused, but definitely blinding if you looked at it directly.

But then after a few months when the weather turned cool I noticed it started staying on all night long. Wondering if it needed to be re-calibrated I turned it off, turned it back to sensor and it came right back on. I tried taking out the batteries, putting them back in, and that worked for a bit, but later that night as the temps dropped it got stuck on again. I finally had to remove it from it's base and take it inside. It has remained there ever since.

Also, it casts a very dim light when running off rechargeable batteries (I'm using brand-new Energizer NiMH), which very much ruins its green cred of using LEDs. However I have yet to see a better LED sensor light anywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bright closet light, sensitive motion sensor., November 8, 2008

By 

Regular Amazon Shopper (MI, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Maxxima 18 LED Occupancy Sensor Light (Misc.)

This is a great light, I purchased it for a large closet in my hallway. It has a very sensitive motion sensor. It's very bright, I hung it close to the ceiling and can easily see the shoes on the floor. It's not exactly attractive, so I would not use it anywhere in plain sight. A couple of minute cons to this product: It has a poorly designed battery compartment, with 4 screws! It is also difficult to remove the light from the base, (to change the batteries after the unit is hung), but I am not planning on doing this regularly, so these are inconveniences I can deal with. It is also a bit expensive for its purpose, but an excellent product overall.
