This is a very nice bright solar light, good installation. When installing lights like this please be considerate of neighbors with telescopes or doing nighttime astrophotography. When this light is on please use it in the amber mode. It would be nice if these were sold or designed with a shield around the light so stray light would not go out horizontally but only down. It is nice the light can be turned off when not needed.
I have two, one for the left gable end of my house and one on my chain link four foot fence, I bought a twelve foot metal post and clamped it to my fence end post so it's fourteen feet high. Lights up my drive good at night and the wildlife love it when they come in my yard at night looking for food on the ground.
Ours is has the built-in solar panel at the back of the street light. We have ours for over a year, and still works fine. Ours also has the motion sensor which intensify the brightness when there is movement around
I got the same light for two years and no problems with it. They advertise 13 thousand lumens, but I think it might be 8 or 10 at the most,other than that is a good light.
13k lumens means it isnt 300 watts.. theyre lying.. a 13k lumen LED is about 100w. Lights is a hobby of mine.. I could immediatly tell that light isnt very bright for 300w.. its a lie.. chinesium stuff
Thank You ! . I've been adding small self contained solar led units on My wood fence which surround My driveway and this would be great on an unused basketball pole in the driveway area .
Hi mate, I got a question for ya, where is the 36 hours battery located?? Cause you never mentioned it when you installed the lamp. Thanks and good job.
I was looking at buying one to mount in the woods where I camp ,I've got a bad coyote problem. I just bought a 9mm for camping this year dam things arnt scared of anything !
I like these types of lights, but they come with solar panel on back of light that looks better and more compact. I have single story home so it will be bright
Well done. My family has been paying for the streetlight, at the street, that basically sits on the property line between myself and my neighbor. We've been paying it alone for decades, and I'm sure it's tied into which house was occupied first....but I'm just sick of paying it alone, when we both benefit the same. I may inquire about having it split between the power bills for both houses, as I'd prefer to keep it in service, but I'm guess Florida Power & Light would tell me that's not feasible, and my neighbor just might balk at the idea, as well.....which is why I'm considering having a house mounted street light, and telling FPL to yank the plug (and maybe go screw themselves, as they're no better at their job than Gulf Power was).
Can you provide a link to the exact light you purchased, i clicked the link in the description and i cannot find the light which allows dual warm & white color. Thanks!
When light bulbs run out how do you replace it and how much would it cost? Second question a lot of people saying it last 2 month only, seems like your video is done few month ago, maybe you can share your experiences here? I live in FL sun is not an issue here, but wind and rain is, would like to know if anyone used that light for more than 6 month.
aren't these lamps too bright? These blue or cold white bright LED lamps may quite annoy the neigbors. They prevernt many people from normal sleeping. I am OK with LED and electricity bill saving, but the street lamps should be yellow with no more than 4 000 Kelvins/1 000 lumens. Anything brighter is OK inside the buildings, but outside it may cause quite a discomfort.
I agree too bright. Check building codes, any light shining on to neighbors property, or over a certain candle watt could be a violation with removal or fines.
For a 300W LED plus large solar panel, photocell, mounting brackets etc $179.00 is not bad. With 300 watts coming on whenever it gets dark you might worry about the cost of electricity. However, as it is solar there won't be any utility costs.
It isnt 300w.. Do some simple math.. 12k lumens is 100w.. using typicsl 120 lumen per watt led chips.. its snother chinesium product they sucker people into believing is 300w. This is one if those its (equivalent) too a 300w halogen or incandescent light products. Chinese also claim their products are equal to say a 300w HID.. when in fact a 300w HID would be around 40,000 lumens
This solar-powered LED fixture is a good way to get lighting without the hassle of extra wires. However, you mentioned in the video that even if you turn the light off manually, it will still automatically turn on at the next night fall. That means that when you are not around (e.g. on vacation or simply not needing to go to the backyard), the light will be on, night after night, being of no actual help, but only generating a great deal of light pollution (affecting the health of wildlife: insects, hedgehogs, small rodents - depends on the specific area of course) and also causing discomfort to neighbors. It is well known that light pollution is expanding at an alarming rate, and now this fixture only contributes to it. Would there be any way to disable the automatic startup? If so, the dark-sky movement, which I am part of, would love to see an update from you covering this aspect. Thank you!
I bought several solar powered lights like these... Mine show about 20% low light at night, then when motion is detected, it looks like a prison break!!! BOOOM!!! LIGHTS EVERYWHERE... I no longer have problems with night time creepers. Solar power, NO WIRING, NO PERMITS, NO CITY INSPECTIONS, NO BS... PERIOD.
It needs a switch. I am against too much lights in a back yard or front. I have neighbours who have bright lights several doors down which light up my bedroom window area. Not nice and when I look out at them there is no-one in their garden . So cannot understand the need for them in the tiny garden they have. Crazy !
Looks pretty dope. I have a much smaller version, that I'm planning on installing on my mailbox post. Double use as a driveway light. Toying with the idea to put my house numbers on the light part. Glow at night, able to read in the day. Oh, that ladder is tight! Subcribed!
It is quite possible that your new neighbors do not want Light Trespass/Light Spillage unto their properties or field of vision ?? Also, what about Wildlife in the area ?? They need some semblance of Darkness at nighttime. Possibly, look into a Fully Shielded Light fixture that has the light source Fully Recessed into the fixture. And also, that it does NOT exceed 2700K CCT (in this case, Less is more). Please be considerate of People & Wildlife, use the light ONLY when you actually need it.
St Brian im at least a quarter mile away from everybody else. Reason I want my lights to stay on all night is because Im gonna have animals like chicken, ducks and goats. There’s mountain lions and coyotes in that area.
U r amazing sir.. U really have an organized things ur doing and appropriate tools or equipment.. How I wish I cud do like u r doing..what is the model and brand of ur solar street light and how many Watts... Pls share to me. Thanks and stay safe
Yeah but solar panel will be in the shade half the day? Maybe the sunshine path goes side to side, that would be best for full recharge. I also noted that several of your items are back lit, creating harsh, near black shadows in the shed and bbq area. Do you have fill light on the opposing side of the yard? Lumens? Street lights always run on A/C, solar charge lighting can’t sustain full lumen output all night long. I have two hard wired led security fixtures totaling 50,000 lumens to the street and one 20,000 lumen fixture in the back of the house. I never turn these things on unless their is a major disturbance. I do have welcoming motion sensor flood lights as a level below what I would call security lighting. Below the floods which only put out 3,500 bright white lumens are turn down accent lighting fixtures. This offers three levels of home personality in regards to guests or criminals. When things get suspicious 50k of lighting scares anyone 6 to 8 houses on either side of me! It’s awesome!
Please be consistent to your neighbors. Be sure to turn the light off by 11pm. Those light just sobright you light up your neighbors bedrooms. When our neighbor installed a street light in his backyard, It light up our bedroom so bright we had cover our windows and could not open the windows at night.
Same with us. New neighbor moved in, removed all his trees and installed super bright lights that light up our yard and bedroom window from dawn to dusk.
@@BLopez-iw8dh Criminals will love your neighbors house. the shadow contrast on their property will provide excellent hiding and scouting opportunities. They can see if they have a dog and when it might be out, avoid any trip hazards, and think of it like a beacon that says "I have something so nice I need to light up like Fort Knox" Check with you building department and see if it is a code violation to have it lighting up your house too.
Your lamp placement, has the grill surface in the shadow of the open bbq lid. That would annoy me, as would the default dusk to dawn illumination. How are your neighbors reacting?
Wonder how well the charging panel would hold up in semi windy areas? (20 to 30 mph) Anyone have have any feedback? I'm really wanting to buy about 4 of them.
I like the idea BUT how its mounted appears to be the weak spot. That heavy and wind catching solar panel setup will not withstand high winds with small screws on siding unless you can hit the studs. Also lag bolts are a better choice, that's what satellite companys use on their dish install. Me? I would use a pole instead to install that,my wife would freak out if I drilled holes on the side of the house.
@@jimtalor7971 my thoughts exactly. I think I'm gonna buy 1 and mount it on a pipe like you mentioned. The windy season is coming up in a few months and that'll give me an idea on how well it will work.
Yes it comes with the hardware. However I did end up using my own screws for mounting the bracket to the outside wall. I wanted a specific length of screws.
@@dial2fast what screws did you end up using? I have a similar light that I'm installing but the hardware provided doesn't look appropriate for a siding mount use case. I think their intention was more for a pole installation based on what was provided in my kit, but I'm looking to install similarly to how yours is installed.
Excellent job at informing your listeners!!!!

Did you buy that light from Amazon...
@@Happydays147 yes, we can offer free solar street light, conatct us for it
Don't know how to contact you...
Thanks for the video..the steps were very easy to follow
36 hour run time? That's awesome. I'll definitely will look into it.
I like it !!! Very well done , very intuitive information. 😎👍👍👍👍👍
Great video, thanks for the info. Love the ladder!
how many hours can endure in one night?
Great video, and information.
Do I have to turn on the off or on button. But the light will just come on when it's dark. Thank you
Hi can you give us the link where you bought everything?
Ours is has the built-in solar panel at the back of the street light. We have ours for over a year, and still works fine. Ours also has the motion sensor which intensify the brightness when there is movement around
I’ve been looking for something like this
Will it break during a thunderstorm ?
I got the same light for two years and no problems with it.
They advertise 13 thousand lumens, but I think it might be 8 or 10 at the most,other than that is a good light.
Glad to hear they last more than a few months.
13k lumens means it isnt 300 watts.. theyre lying.. a 13k lumen LED is about 100w. Lights is a hobby of mine.. I could immediatly tell that light isnt very bright for 300w.. its a lie.. chinesium stuff
Good video. That ladder, I need that also. Never would have known about it seeing how I was only looking for the light. Thanks
Appreciate the video. Great job. Looks great too
Nice job. I guess if snow gets on panel there is no way to clean it off. Can you put alot more angle on the solar panel ???
Thank You ! . I've been adding small self contained solar led units on My wood fence which surround My driveway and this would be great on an unused basketball pole in the driveway area .
how heavy is the light already assemble with poles and solar panel?
I really love it good content. What brand it’s n what is the cost on this type? Thanks
Hi mate, I got a question for ya, where is the 36 hours battery located?? Cause you never mentioned it when you installed the lamp. Thanks and good job.
It's located in the rear end of the light casing... (where the hump is)... 😊
I'm thinking to install a solar light outdoor. There are cheap and expensive solar light in the market. Don't know which one is good for long term.
This is the most recent one I installed th-cam.com/video/aYjVgSe6MF4/w-d-xo.html

I’ve been wanting to put a high pressure sodium streetlight of the typical “cobrahead” style on the side of my house for a while now.
you may use Led version ,much envergy saving
Product link? The link you have says cool White only. I want cool and warm
They don't have the cool and warm version anymore. Only the cool one.
@@dial2fast aww. Do you have any others links for warm light's? It's just what I need

Amazing, but u have not said how much does this cost ?

Does that have a timer
How is the Light doing now? Any issues?
I have a new one that I installed and works better. Here is the video. th-cam.com/video/aYjVgSe6MF4/w-d-xo.html
seems like the solar panel angle can be easily compromised as the face is not adjustable for best sun exposure
How dare someone dislike a dial2fast video. Great video and clean install
I like these types of lights, but they come with solar panel on back of light that looks better and more compact. I have single story home so it will be bright

Thanks for sharing this i got idea.
300 led watts should come up to illuminate the entire yard, not the barbeque area, it looks like 60 watts, not 300 watts
