Cheap Sylvania Wireless Motion Sensor Anywhere LED Light (2 pack) Review
These are the best LED motion sensor lights that I've purchased after installing eight of these lights in my house. I have tried numerous LED night lights and security lights and these are the best so far.
The three LED's provide plenty of light, better than a single LED night light, yet not so blinding as the six LED lights that I've tried in the past. The light head rotates about forty-five degrees for aiming the light, but it does light up a large area without aiming. It uses three AAA batteries that are stored in the main unit behind the LED's. The battery door even has a rubber or silicone seal. I haven't tried rechargeable batteries...yet, but plan on using some Eneloope's after the batteries wear out in one of the units.
The photo sensor is a main feature for me, it saves on the batteries keeping the light off when it's not dark. The motion sensor is good for about ten to fifteen feet maximum when horizontal. The light stays on for ten to twelve seconds, then goes out automatically if there is no motion within range of the sensor.
The mount has three different options: magnetic, screw, or adhesive. I've used all three in different places. This really provides some flexibility for mounting the light in a variety of places. The mount itself can be detached from the light, allowing you to replace the batteries and leave the mount in place. I have one on a steel door, a couple on the wall in the corners to illuminate hallways, and one mounted outside my main entry door, screwed to the frame aiming down. That light illuminates my entire door entryway when motion is detected about six feet out from the door. The light works great outside in the cold. It's been below zero (F) several nights and the light works without any problem.
I will offer an improvement, but this isn't a show stopper. Provide multiple light delays, twelve seconds is fast. The advantage to a quick light delay is that the batteries will last longer. The light does stay on if there is movement within range of the motion sensor. I have one in a bathroom, magnetically attached to a vent aiming down, it lights up the entire bathroom, but will go out if I'm standing still while taking a leak.
As far as previous comments about the batteries coming loose? Well, if the light is mounted on a wall or door, then how would they come loose?
I purchased mine at a big warehouse store where they sold a two-pack for .99. This light would make a great travel light for security and safety.
It can be used as a flashlight because the three position switch has an always-on position.
Like I said earlier, I have eight of these lights in key locations around my house and don't use my LED night lights anymore. A great little product. Time will tell how reliable they are over the year.
