LED Light - Motion Sensor, Photocell, Water-resistent, Long Battery Life




PROS: It's a quality product. They are water resistent, bright, photo cell sensitive, and the batteries last over a year with everyday use. They have a clean design and light a wide area.

CONS: Since it's a directional light it can't be mounted  facing up to have the option of reflecting it onto the ceiling. The LED color is pleasant but I would prefer a built in warmer glow option.

We have these lights mounted above the mirror/medicine cabinet in our boat bathrooms and on the wall above the bilges. The vertical and horizontal surfaces in the head are white except the floors which are dark wood grate. The small head is 3' x 4' and I use a standard orange post-it note to cover the lens and cast a warm glow. The large head is 3' x 7.5' and the light is centrally located providing just enough to light through the entire space.


The sensor is very sensitive and the photocell works great with the ambiant light from the ceiling hatch. On one light the double stick tape wore out after 6 months but it's such a useful light we mounted it permanently.
