Maybe TOO bright? Very wide coverage!
It is VERY BRIGHT!!! So bright that you do not want to look directly at it!!! However, my electrician adjusted it so instead of pointing directly down both sides of my driveway, he pointed it up, at the metal overhang (roof) of the driveway. Now the light reflects off that and COMPLETELY lights up the whole driveway on both sides of the light, without blinding me. But it really is much too bright to look at directly. When set to minimum sensitivity, it was so sensitive that it would turn on when someone walked by the end of the driveway, about 15 - 20 ft. However, by adjusting the sensor so it doesn't point directly down the driveway, it now only turns on when someone/something walks 2 - 3 feet into the driveway. Sensor works well and doesn't turn on during the day, but turns on when it is not that dark. However, I have a metal overhang (roof) on the driveway, so the light doesn’t get direct sunlight. I've only had it about 2 weeks so I can't comment on how long it will last, but given what I said above, for me, it is perfect. Looks pretty good and the settings are easy to set. My electrician said the actual installation was easy, although he had to fool with it so that 1) the light wasn't shining directly in my eyes and 2) repositioning the very sensitive sensor, so it didn't turn on every time someone walked by the entrance of the driveway or a car drove past. Compared the other lights, the price seemed good. But, once again, you may want to get a lower lumen if it is going to point directly down the driveway, in your eyes. However, having it reflect from the driveway overhang, it really lights up the WHOLE driveway in both directions, VERY WELL. So, like I said, for me, it is prefect. Read more
