Great way to secure construction site
I ordered this motion light from homdepot website to act as Vigilant guard on a construction site of two new homes. This light installed easy and fun to work with setting up. I control it by app on my iPad which gives multiple control options. Body is plastic solar panel 1st generation type I will see over one year how the light handles uv rays from the sun and photo cells of the panel for thermal ware(energy from the sun on man made things.) I have been judge jury and executioner of lights of all kinds for years... via my own crime lab debunking myth,legend, law,politics, man made fear( bogeyman theory) and Good lights Bad lights and Ugly lights So this light This one is the Good guy light.

nice light
This is a nice light for a little extra security at home. Installation was easy and only took about 20 minutes.The instructions are very clear. I installed this over where an existing light had been and it installed onto the existing bracket just fine. If it will be in a new location, you will need to drill 2 holes where you are installing it. You basically mount a bracket onto the wall, then mount the unit onto the bracket. Being solar powered, it won't take any electricity to run and it saves you having to wire it in. The down-side is that you have to also mount the solar panel. Its not large, so its not unattractive - just an extra step. It also affects where you can place the light - preferably facing south, but definitely in an area that gets good sun exposure. Mounting the panel requires drilling 3 holes and it must be within 15 feet of the light. My biggest complaint was stashing and securing the cord that connects the panel to the light. Given where I placed it, it was not easy to conceal. The light settings are easy to adjust both manually or via your phone with the app. In Auto mode the light will be turned on by motion when it is dark out. You can adjust the sensitivity and how long the light stays on. In On mode the light stay on up to 1 hour. When the battery power gets low it automatically goes into ECO mode which decreases the brightness in order to conserve power. Its a nice light that provides some security, saves energy, and lets you not have to mess with electrical wiring.

Now there is a light on the subject!!
Now we can see whose is at the door!! We have the "Ring" and another surveillance camera from the year one. But when it is dark it is not the greatest. NOW, when we are chilaxxing on the couch with our mint julips, and there is a ring at the door, we can see them, talk to them and not even get off the couch. and the greatest thing we can be on any couch, any place. Download the Novolink App and you can control the light from anywhere.

Battery doesn't hold charge. Lights are not as bright as they should be (which could be because of the battery).

The light would not allow the use of an Android device. It synced with an iPhone once, worked once and never worked again. It will be returned, very disappointed with the quality of the product.

Beware! Android phones cannot find the device via bluetooth. I am taking this back for a refund after I awaited 4 days for it to be fully charged and now it won't connect. What I waste of time.

    Love how they connect to my phone and can’t wait for the WiFi technology. When it comes to brightness, it gets the job done but can be lil brighter. Easy install and works great.

    I have bought an array of solar motion lights for my house as these keep my electricity bills down to the minimum. This one was so easy to install. Even my neighbors are happy as they have light when they go out late at night for whatever reason. I have already installed five solar motion lights.

    I like this LED flood light, the app didn't work at first, but I just deleted it and re downloaded it and then it worked fine. That was probably more of an issue with my phone than an issue with the app. I have a similar solar light that is 500 lumens, but this one is not as bright. The two spot lights have are more like beams than floods. I like to install solar floods in my shed which currently is without power and only has 1 window. I think if this was mounted on the corner of a house it would illuminate the immediate area just fine. Having an app to control the light is a very nice feature as well. Set up is really easy as well.

    This product has been frustrating to use. Customer service is practically non-existent from Novolink. The solar cell has not done its job in keeping the battery charged. I may soon return it to the home depot store. Going to troubleshoot it some on Saturday while I'm off before making a final decision

    The light is bright and using the app and bluetooth to connect was fast and easy. I use this light on my back porch when it 's time for dogs to go out and it works great! I bought two and plan to use the second over my garage.

      Motion Bright
      Well I got to say that this lighting unit is just okay. Means to say I have to stay with the basic settings the unit came with. My Samsung (android) just would not accept a Bluetooth scan provided with unit so I cannot set unit or even know what it does really. Downloaded company app from Google play and still could not set Bluetooth. The lighting unit has its own solar panel board with 15 ft. wire to unit. That works great but every sundown so far I had to re-set (off/on). Mounting is good and the lights are a bright white LED's I wish this product functioned for me the way the instructions show.
