I have other types of these inexpensive led solar lamps. I bought this one becuase I needed a lamp that would extend from the house far enough to get the sun. This unit has a simple on/off switch that is accessed through a tiny pin-hole, with a paper clip or the little metal pin they provide. Once turned on, the unit will remain off until dark. Once dark, the unit lights up in DIM mode: this provides a minimal amount of light, and is designed to conserve battery. With any movement, the unit switches to BRIGHT mode. I found the brightness & sensitivity to be good for my purposes. My other solar motion led lamps have an additional mode; they can remain totally off until sensing movement. This mode will obviously maximize battery life, as the unit only turns on when necessary. When I bought this lamp, the description led me to believe that this unit also had the totally off until movement mode. The reason this concerns me is that I am not sure the battery will last long enough to power the device through the whole night, when the unit remains on in a constant dim mode the entire night. I checked it when I woke up this morning still dark shortly before sunrise, and the unit was still lit in dim mode. So at least for this first day it had enough power to last the night.Read full review

I let set it in direct sunlight all day. turned it on at night and the light came on and I thought great, just what I needed. I came back in a couple of hours to see if the light is in the dim mode and what I saw was the light was just about dead. No brighter light with motion and it charged all day. Tried again the next day and the same result. My light cannot hold a charge to last overnight. Low priced items like this are a risk so I will buy higher rated brands.

I was disappointed to find out that these lights are designed to be always on (low) and go brighter when they detect motion. I don't see the point of not including an "off + motion" option. I also don't like the bright white color of the light. A wamer white color is nicer for home installations, in my opinion. Otherwise these seem decent for the price.

These things are perfect for outside areas where you need a little light mainly, but come on nice and bright when you walk near. Great for the route to take the dog out!

16 LED Solar Power Wall Light Infrared Sensor Works good for a night light on dim mode, last's all night. Good prices. Sensor is poor. You have to stand under it to come on bright. 3 foot range at best. Bought 2, mounted in direct sun, both same...poor at sensing and performance. After a year sensor does not perform at all. If u want a security light opt for the 30 or 36 Led lights, at least a12 ft plus range on these and brighter lighting for only a couple of bucks more. Look at my nighttime pic and compare for yourself.
