I'm looking for a light that is about eye level just outside my back door that leads onto my 16'x16' deck. Will this light work well for this?

These units are large and powerful, designed to light up large areas. A low level installation maybe impracticaland the direct, eye level glare unpleasant....and, low wattage bulbs would defeat the purpose of these expensive units....CLIPPER

I use this light about 15 feet up so couldn't be sure eye level is a good ideaMaybe too much light in your eyes!Susan

It won't light up a huge amount of space, but it will definitely provide very bright light in a moderate size spot wherever it's pointed. Less lantern, more flashlight. For the purpose of seeing a trail, it will work great, but you won't be able to illuminate things well too far off the trail.

I sure hope it will work next to my house. I haven't received my order, yet, but I will be installing mine very near or in front of my dining/living room sliding door (with ~ 3' clearance). This is one of the reasons I chose the clear panel roof... I'm hoping the gazebo will not block too much of the natural light.

I'm sorry but no. It just would not be large enough. It is a very nice LED light for smaller areas.

It would -- buy the light itself is shorter than 36" so you wouldn't get as much coverage. I agree with Michael S.

Depends on how tall the trees are.... I would look for a more powerful light

I am not certain about this. I use it only for my porch and outside garage lights. Sorry; I wish I could have been of more help.

Yes it is bright enough for that task. I have two of them and they light up most of the front of my house.

My deck is 55 by 10 and we have 2 fixtures. The light spills into the yard about 3 feet beyond deck. Great dark sky lighting.

It will work well for that application. The sensor senses motion out as far as thirty feet at our house, so the lights should come on as you approach the garage. I suspect that being mounted a bit higher gives them greater range. We have been quite pleased with this unit.

It has more of a narrow beam. For a deck, I might would try something with a broader beam.

I have this attached to side of my deck to illuminate my outside walkway to the side of the house, about 25 feet. The bracket is not so rigid, so, it can be slightly bent to adjust. I have mine twisted slightly so that motion about 10 feet out will trigger the light. My second one is attached to my stair railing and all 12 steps get lite quite adequately even on an overcast day. This is not overly bright, you probably could not read by the light, but it is sufficient to make you aware of obstacles you might trip on.

It is a floodlight to light up a spot in the yard. Do not expect the light to shine very far, but it work excellent up to 10 feet or so.

I think it would be excellent!! the light is very bright and dims/brightens gradually for whatever level you need.

It should be suitable for anything outdoors. Given that it has no light source I would recommend 2 IR lights as well to be able to see a bit farther. The battery lasts fairly long, I had it running for 2 hours straight and didn't have to change it.

Hi Becky, this light is quite large, and peobably meant for at least 9-10 ft ceilings. I do know when I was looking for this one, there are other products like it on a smaller scale, on the market, that would work fine. Usually Amazon has 'others you might like' listed when you Re reviewing this item. I would suggest the smaller size and you would be just fine:)

it has good light if working on an item close around it....but would be better I think with a brighter light for a little more distance.
