I need a light that will light up a large area right under my garage. Will this do the job ?

If you had a three car garage and the light was twenty feet high. It would still light the area. I'm sure it will do the job.

If mounted reasonably high it will do it. Whilst the light is very bright at the source, the area it illuminates could be described as a reasonable but soft light. Happy with mine

Depends on the size of your shop and how bright you need it to be. I would say generally, yes but it may be a little dim.

Do you know if you are going to wire this like a normal exterior light or would you be wanting to attach a plug and plug it in a socket on the exterior of the garage like a security light? If you want this like outside your front door, it would probablybe wired and attached to the exterior of your house and connected to a switch on the interior by your front door. Then it could work with a switch. Personally, if you wanted one by your front door, I'd put up a more decorative, maybe even motion-type light. this is really more of a security light, sleak and attractive, but more security.

I have one of these sensors connected to a dual floodlight mounted above and between the doors of my two-car garage and it works fine to illuminate the short double-wide driveway leading from the street to the garage. I'm not sure how it would with your decorative lighting as it is intended to screw into the mount for the dual floodlight unit; but I'd bet a qualified electrician could connect some wiring (possibly through a conduit) to another lamp away from the dual floodlight unit it's intended for.

It should it does throw a pretty good light. We use ours at our home bar and it completely lights up the work area of a 6 foot bar top.

I have mine on the corner of a two stall garage about 9 or 10' above ground it give enough light for about a 4 stall area. Nice white light. Not sorry for my purchase

No I do not think this light would work well for that. It is bright but only for a small circle area under its top. The light doesn't project well. I think you would be straining your eyes.

I don't think it would give enough light for your purposes . Think of it as a good closet light or as a work lamp.

I didn't mount mine near the garage opener. Actually about 10 feet away, so it would illuminate a different part of the garage. Maybe it has more to do with the ability to see the blinking light when it is preparing to shut. In my case moving it more towards the house improved the WiFi connection.

I think it would work. It's not as bright as the overhead light I have, but it lights the room pretty well.

Ok for light in lamp indoors or out not bright enough for garage . it is more for decerations or night light

This light is about the equivalent of a 100W bulb and it will light up an area of about 40' to 50'. The detecting motion has a range of settings with the maximum being about 45' by 45'

Should work just fine. I have one at my work mounted to the bottom of a panel roof in our storage room, works good there. The more open the area is, the less it will light it up. Point it right at the grill and should be good to go. It does put off a very white light though.

Yes, it will light up a whole room, we use it as the main lighting for my daughter's nursery.

I guess it would work in a covered area. The light isn't that bright though. Maybe equivalent to a very bright nightlight, but with larger radius.

yes it would. I have one by a locking gate and it lights up very well. I am going to get some more in the future
