About this product
These Gearmatte Solar Motion Sensor Lights are a smart addition to any outdoor space looking for enhanced security and ambient lighting. Designed for use around fences, patios, gardens, and driveways, they offer a practical solution for illuminating pathways and deterring unwanted visitors. The lights are ideal for homeowners, gardeners, or anyone seeking a simple way to improve the safety and aesthetic appeal of their property.
Featuring three powerful LEDs with a 120-degree motion sensor range, these lights automatically activate when movement is detected within a 3-5 metre radius, providing instant illumination in darkness. The integrated CDS night sensor ensures they operate effectively even in low light conditions. Built from durable, water-resistant ABS plastic and featuring a waterproof design, they are engineered to withstand the elements and provide lasting performance throughout the year.
Powered by a built-in 3.7V 1200mAh li-ion battery, these lights capture sunlight for approximately eight hours of operation after full charging. The wireless install allows for straightforward application on fences, yards or patios without needing any cabling. It’s worth noting that optimal performance in winter months will require several hours of direct sunlight to fully charge the battery.
These solar sensor lights are a good value option for those looking to add security and light to their outdoor areas. The inclusion of a motion sensor extends battery life between activations, while the waterproof housing ensures reliable use during rain or shine. They are supplied as a 2-pack and measure approximately 9.5 x 4.7 x 12.3 centimetres.
