Adjustable Solar Sensor Light

This is a very simple and effective adjustable solar sensor light, I needed a simple but effective security light as my wife often arrives home from work late at night due to her shift patterns and the area she parks her car has almost no lighting.

The main problems I had to overcome was the fact there was no practical way of running power to the place I intended to fit it, I didn’t want to be changing batteries or taking it down to charge on a regular basis so after a lot of research I decided on this.

 

It came in a small brown box with simple and easy to follow instructions and all the bits needed to fit it in place so after I gave it a full charge it was time to fit it in place, this was a very simple process of screw fitting the holding unit to the fence and once done mounting the light, adjusting it to the desired angle with the various adjustments and locking it in place with the hand tighten locking bolts. I was surprised and very pleased the unit is very light so fitted very well to the fence panel I wanted without any issues at all.

I have added a short video which shows it in use, the light spread is ideal for what I wanted and the sensor has a very good pickup range lighting the intended area as you approach.

• Three mode switch:off, normal, body motion+dimming , and it has the built-in PIR sensor for a detection range20-33 feets.
• Two mode charges:solar charge 10 hours and the cable charge 8 hours for full power.
• Two built-in battery:powered by two 18650 battery with a capacity of 4400mAh, and it has four super bright lights, so that it can works on 8 hours for normal use time.
• Adjustable:The lamp can swivel 90 degree and the mount can swivel 350 degree so that they can be positioned however you need them.
• Easy installation and waterproof:IP65Waterproof, monitoring design, install easily, Solar powered no extra battery or electricity wire needed.

Cosmetic Mirror with Removable 10x Magnifying Mirror

Nice design lightweight mirror with lights that pack a powerful punch, with four daughters there is always a shortage of mirrors and this is ideal for them to fight over while I get to use the bathroom. It has a nice sleek design with the addition of a 10x zoom magnifying mirror that attaches with the help of two small rubber suckers on the back, the lights go up to an almost blinding brightness but you can hold the button to adjust/dim them to the required level. The mirror comes flat with a clip in base and is adjustable, I fitted and removed the base several times and although it’s a tight fit as it should be I didn’t find it too difficult to dismantle as my wife wanted to know if it was easy enough to do as she wants to use it as a travel mirror when we go away.

What I liked
**************
- Brightness is fantastic
- Light level adjustable right down to a low brightness
- Easy to dismantle for storage or travel
- Clip on magnifying mirror
- Nice finish and good quality

What I Didn’t Like
********************
- not really anything I can think of other than no batteries included although it clearly status that so not something to reduce my overall rating of it.

Summary
***********
Overall a very nice mirror with great illumination with 16 levels of brightness to choose from and a clip on magnifying mirror I would certainly recommend it.

Solar Powered waterproof LED Security Lights

I've a fair number of these dotted about the garden. All from different manufacturers with different shapes and sizes and varying functions.
I live in a quiet village, with no streetlights. The downside to this, is, at night, it's very very dark. So having lights that cost me nothing to run are invaluable.

I was surprised at how small these are, not unpleasantly however as some of the bigger lights are a little bit conspicuous and I much prefer something more subtle.

 Out of the box, they're switched to "off" and you need to pop the plastic lens cover to get to the on switch.
You also need to fit them with the lens cover off as the screw holes are in the plastic frame, rather than a lug on the outside.
Be careful though, as the holes are quite close to the circuit board controlling the light.

Once fitted, they work well. Don't expect floodlight level illumination, these provide more of a radial glow than a direct spot light.
Because of their compact size, I placed them quite close together and was able to see the ground from their illumination.

Well worth a buy if you're looking for a discrete and cheap way of illuminating a dark corner.
