Bright and illuminates for about 30 seconds when motion is detected. Security light blinks red when idle so it is always "working" like a hard-wired camera. Currently, we have ours operating with the ground stake but will most likely opt to mount with the screws provided. And this is important, make sure the light is toggled to the "on" position or it will not charge! Overall, great solar security light that operates like a hard-wired one.

very good light after 4 years ,still works perfect

very bright light ,very dependable , and reason i say that is that i have had the light outside for 4 years and it still just as bright as day i got it . only thing is the sun faded the solar part but it still works great . Worth money and they other cheaper ones but they don't last . If it was dark i take picture maybe i can come back . good light

Works so well I bought another

I bought another 250-lumen 4-Watt Solar LED Spotlight with Motion Sensor to replace one I had purchased about 3 years ago. The one being replaced had worked very well with no problems at all for the entire time since I mounted it, and would probably still be working effectively had a falling limb not broken it off of its mounting. No complaints and definitely recommended.

Fine for me. It doesn't stay on continuously

I find this particular solar powered light to be pretty effective. It can be mounted to a post or on the side of your house. The included spiked post allowed me to plant this baby where it gets direct sunlight from sun up to sundown and it stays on or available to shine light on a moving person or animal or whatever via motion activation.

When installing, both the mounting plate top and the turning dial-swievel cracked as I was tightening just using my hand. Now, I cannot tighten spotlight to stay in place. Very poor craftmanship. I asked B&H customer service to send me those two parts and they responded the same way as you. "How do you like our product". If you do not respond I will be very dissapointed. I cannot send back because it is already installed on the house outdoor awning.

Bell + Howell 500 luman Motion Sensor

This is definitely worth the money. I put it out in my flower area where I seen some deer tracks.. I have a 5 ft fence around my garden anyway and when the light comes on it scares them off. It's it's bright I love it. I'm fixing to buy about three more and put around my home.

The illumination is wonderful. The bracket is brittle plastic and if you put too much pressure it cracks. I ordered two the first one I did OK and it’s up and working does what it needs to do the second one I cracked the bracket and I had to superglue it back together so that I could use it

Poor solar panel mount design

I found this light to be of a poor design. The solar panel is on a fixed swivel which is not conducive to charging the battery if the light is pointing north. The solar panel mount could have been designed with a ball swivel to allow the panel to be pointed at the sun regardless of the direction the light is mounted.

safe affordable security lighting

These lights were easy to install, they were affordable and most importantly, these lights make me feel safer at night. I like that these lights have a blinking red light on them to make people believe that this is also a camera and I feel that this feature helps ward off more problematic situations.

Solar lights

These were a gift I would not recommend them there plastic and they were broken when they came . You couldn't fix them because there plastic and the plastic is broke. The second one the slot panel part will not tighten up so you can leave it in a sun catching position I think it's stripped. I ordered before Christmas they said out of stock then all of a sudden they came and that's how they came broken. There were a gift for my daughter . I will never buy these again .

Not Bad, Works Well Overall

Mounted it in an area where it will get some weather, and so far is still working OK after a week with snow landing on it. It's winter in Manitoba and we're not getting much daylight, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised if it's struggling to stay on for more than maybe 10 seconds right now. Only 4 stars for 2 reasons:

Great for the price

These are great lights when they get enough sun! They have to be in direct sunlight all day otherwise they will not work. Even if it's a cloudy day they will not have enough battery power for when it gets dark. It's nice that there is a red blinking light so they do look like cameras which could be a deterrent for people lurking around. Only thing I wish was a bigger batter storage that it lastest longer so that if there are a few days of cloudy they still work.

Excellent strong light, with a great sensor. Be careful though as it is fragile. While I was mounting the second one, it dropped to the grassy ground below and the plastic part holding the two pieces together (light and solar panel) almost cracked in half. I ended up duct taping it together, careful not to cover the solar panel on top, mounting it and it working fine.

We shall see I hope

Bought to replace a motion sensor light that lasted 3 yrs. Both solar powered, this one trying to mimic a camera with a flashing red spot after sundown. Not all motion has been picked up even though it expressly state's it's better functioning with across the front motion. More tests to follow.

Good for price

Good purchase for the price, good light at night, super easy installation, and blinking red light looks like it’s a security camera. But it says in the video that the light will be activated when someone comes within 25 feet. Mine doesn’t go off until your about 10 feet away. But this product works for me and I plan to get another one.

[Rewarded Review] Great product and easy set up

I recently received this product of Bell + Howell Spotlight Extreme. It was very easy to set up, easy to assemble, and provides light to a darkened area. It could use improvement on the lightening of the darkened area and motion detection. Overall, I like that I can use it for my rv as it is light weight.

Bell + Howell Bionic Spotlight Duo is absolutely wonderful! Whomever designed this should pat themselves on the back for making such a great product. The packaging is on point and it comes with everything you need to set it up. I love how versatile this spotlight is because you can either mount it or stake it in the ground and it's also multi-directional so you can adjust it very easily. I really liked that you do not need batteries or wires of any kind and it's a piece of cake to use. Overall I give this product two great big thumbs way up and would definitely recommend it.

[Rewarded Review] works well

I got this spotlight for my back yard. I was looking for something that was easy to assemble, that worked, and looked good. This spotlight fit the bill. It was easy for me to install. I love that its motion activated so it will go one if there is movement in my yard. I wanted something that was solar powered as I didn't want to have to worry about hardwiring it. It works for what I needed and wanted - great value. I'd recommend!

Durable in Saskatchewan

Purchased the "bionic spotlight " last October. We had a BRUTAL cold winter of 6 weeks, off and on, last year. (-40 before the wind chill). Stood up to that winter!
