I purchased this security light with some apprehension as a solar powered one (different manufacturer) bought several years ago did not perform well. That previous purchase used a 6 volt battery which did not last or could be charged adequately with the solar collector provided. I threw it in the garbage after 2 years.

I went with the LED to reduce the battery drain but waffled between multiple LEDs and the single one per light on this brand. I am not disappointed, the brightness is exceptional even if not equal to a 120 volt halogen. Large reflectors emit good light over acceptable distance and coverage and you can't look directly into the lights they are so bright.

A weakness is that the light will have to be removed (unscrewed) to change the battery (hopefully not often), but it's hard to engineer all the good features into a small package. As well the sensor has limited movability so mounting position is important to get the correct sensor coverage. Reading the settings marks is very difficult as they are the same white as the body. I had to color them with a sharpie.

As with all these motion sensors the motion needs to be at right angles to the sensor for best sensitivity.

I gave it 4 stars only because it's on trial to see how long the battery lasts and if in winter the solar collector will be able to charge the unit properly.

Installed this unit in March 2012 and it worked great. Unfortunately in November 2012 the battery began not to hold a charge. Tried the recharging method called out in the owner's manual but it failed to resolve the issue. Light will retain a charge lightly and then fail after it turns on a few times.

Contacted Cooper lighting and without hesitation they mailed me a brand new replacement No hassles whatsoever.

Great Customer Service.

Will update this post as to the replacement light operation/reliability.
