SANSI45W 6000LM Motion Sensor Outdoor Light, 5000K Dusk to Dawn Eave Mount Security Light, 4 Modes, Wide 320°Angle Illumination, for Yard, Soffit, Garage, Doorways Eco Series Wired

Bought this to put outside a warehouse building and light up the outside of our exit door and parking lot for employees. This replaced a pretty standard 2 bulb fixture that had 1200 lumen bulbs (each) that had quit working. This is much brighter and fits our needs very well. The motion detector picks us up immediately as we come out the door even though we're 90 degrees to the side of it (the light is about 10 ft down the same wall that the door is on), and picks up motion well out into the parking lot for anyone arriving. The photo sensor works very well to prevent it from coming on during the day.The building has a 10 ft overhang across the front which covers a sidewalk area between the parking lot and building. The original light was in a ceiling junction box about 8 ft out from the building/exit door, and I had planned to just mount this light there. This light didn't work as well as the old light in that situation, but it wasn't a good location even for the old light, and the seller clearly stated this light is designed to be mounted vertically, not horizontally... so I'm not knocking any stars. I installed a new junction box on the wall, which was really the preferred set up for our situation regardless of which light fixture we chose, and simply installed a cover plate over the old ceiling junction box.I think the light can work well ceiling mounted in certain situations even though the seller doesn't recommend it and it didn't work for our particular situation, which I consider to be unusual. I'll go into more detail below about the ceiling mount issues for those interested that don't mind the length...The problem was the ceiling box was 8 ft out in front of our exit door (and a few feet to the right). We wanted the motion detector to pick us coming out of that door (behind the light) but also pick up movement in the parking lot (in front of the light), which means we were basically wanting to get 360 degree detection with 180 degree detector. So what we did as a compromise was turn the light fixture so that the motion detector was facing "sideways" instead of either towards the door or towards the parking lot. We then aimed the detector so that it barely caught the door opening to it's far left limit of vision, and we then lived with it's limited detection view of the parking lot to it's far right side.So we had a situation where the motion detector needed to look west, but the lights need to shine north, and the amount of swivel adjustment on the motion detector arm is limited. So basically the base of the fixture is facing NW, the adjustment on the motion detector was maxed out to get it looking west, and now the lights need to face north. The old light with 2 single independent light bulbs were easier to aim as needed, but with this light have long light bars on each side of 3 lights each, it was harder to aim them as needed.The problem is each light bar arm only has adjustment movement on 2 planes, and needed to have adjustment on all 3 planes for our situation. To get them facing north when the base is facing NW, they have to be turned so one side angles way down and the other side angles way up (an the ceiling becomes an issue on that side). That makes it look really bad not being symmetrical, and the low hanging side being more at risk to getting hit/broken. Also with the light fixture being 8 ft in front of the door and aimed away from the door (towards the parking lot), the door area only received "bleed light" and wasn't well lit.Now with the new junction box moved back on the same building wall as the exit door, the 180 degree motion detector provides full coverage of the entire area, the 2 plane adjustment for each light bar side is adequate, everything stays symmetrical/aesthetically pleasing, and the exit door is better lit as well as the parking lot.If you want to ceiling mount with motion detection, I think it will work fine as long as you can face the base, motion detector, and lights all in the same direction. You can rotate the motion detector arm 180 degrees on the ball socket joint to keep it oriented correctly and you can maintain a symmetrical profile when adjusting the light bar directions. We ran into ceiling mount problems only because we needed the motion detector to face one way and the lights to point a different direction. If you want to use this in dusk-to-dawn mode instead of motion mode, I suspect the light reflection off the ceiling could increase a flickering issue. I did not try ours in dusk-to-dawn mode, so I can't say for sure, but noticed other reviews mentioning flickering problems in dusk-to-dawn mode.

First off, this light has to be hardwired in. If you don't have electrical experience and are unable to have someone else do the electrical work, this probably isn't the light for you. If you are comfortable with wiring this in, I can certainly recommend this light if you're looking for something bright, as this is really bright, has a motion sensor, which can be adjusted for sensitivity based on distance, has a dusk to dawn feature, which can be adjusted based on how dark you want it to be before this turns on, and as a motion light can be adjusted to stay on for 1 to 10 minutes. This light is not dimmable, so you have to be comfortable with how bright it is. However, the lights are on two arms that rotate and articulate, so there's a lot of adjustment in regards to where you want the light to go when it turns on. If you wire it into a switch, you can also have it so that it just stays on like a regular house light, which is what I intend to do with it.As you can see from my picture, it's not wired into my house yet. Where I live, there's a lot of snow and ice right now, and it's very cold, so I'm going to wait until the weather is nicer before I replace my side porch light with this. However, I do have a temporary use for it right now, which is why it's wired to an old microwave cord. This is obviously not what the manufacturer intends for people to do with this light, but I wanted to use it inside as a light source until I'm ready to move it outside.Difficulty of installation will vary depending on your circumstances and where you're able to get the wires. Replacing my porch light with this should be quite easy. The instructions in the book are also easy to follow, as are the instructions for use.The light seems durable, and I quite like its functionality. It does, however, look an awful lot like a satellite out in orbit, so its appearance may not be for everyone. All in all, I'm impressed with this light, and I look forward to seeing how it holds up as time goes by. Fortunately, it has a 5 year warranty, so if anything does malfunction, I'm guaranteed to get my money's worth with this light.

PRO: 1. Very Bright Light. 2. Detection angle is very good, surprisingly good. 3. Detection range is good. 4. Angles of "Direction Adjustment" are very good. 5. Strong, well-built body, it's a solid unit.CON: 1. While the light is "ON," detection sensing is off. In other words, I'm working under this light, and after about 7 minutes it will turn off, even while I'm moving around under it. Of course, it turns back on after a few seconds, but the brief re-setting is very irritating. It can turn off on a worker, immediately after stepping out of range.2. Adjustment for "Maximum Time ON" is only 7 or 8 minutes. In other words, if one is working out of range, he has to come back into range every 7 or 8 minutes.3. The hardware does not fit common, American made electrical boxes, (for example, the most popular electrical junction-box sold by Home Depot). While the bolt has a standard SAE thread, it is smaller than typically used in American junction boxes, so the installer has to hunt for hardware that fits the structure's electrical box.

Easy to install, good directions to explain operations. Great brightness after dark.

Great light, great product support. First photo cell failed after 1week, so light stayed active all day. Still fully functional otherwise. Contacted sansi, and they sent a replacement (from china, so it took a while). They stand by their warranty, and the led's are great quality. Second light been up for several months without any photocell issue, and the first light is still working too!

Holy cow these are bright and will detect motion from quite far away. You won't be sorry that you got these

Ya había comprado antes estos focos. Son una pasada. Funcionan fenomenal al sensor de movimiento son muy potentes y de calidad.

Marche très bien !!!👍😁 Éclairage nickel !!!🙀😺

Lampada con sensore di movimento molto efficace ed ha anche una ottima luminosità...La consiglio.

Megahell! Also für normale Wohneinheiten mit Nachbarn fast grenzwertig hell! Aber für alle die Bock haben ihr Grundstück auszuleuchten ein Traum! Hell, gute Einstellmöglichkeiten und Qualität überzeugt bisher auch. Optik muss man schon lieben, oder es ist einem egal, weil man Turbo-Licht will. Die Wärmeentwicklung stört bzw. besorgt aber etwas und lässt vermuten, dass entweder die Wärmeableitung nicht korrekt geplant wurde oder das Dingen halt irgendwie nach kurzer Zeit einen techn.Defekt aufweisen könnte, weil einfach zu warm. Wärme und LED passt irgendwie nicht so gut zusammen finde ich. Dafür ist es aber auch ein krass heller Strahler - Feuer ist halt auch warm. Ich würde es Stand Heute jederzeit wieder kaufen.

This is the second light I've bought from this brand as I was so impressed with the first one. This is a perfect solution for the side of a house situation as you can angle the two arms almost anywhere. Highly recommended. And very reliable and bright. Not light other pir lights which don't last long and are not built as well.The way it can be attached is quite unique and very clever
