It is rather har to say as, every ones needs are different in what they are trying to accomplish w/ this spot light. the way our is set up it is mounted to the window shutter facing nine stairs then you open ascreen door to the porch & it give off plenty of light for us to see in the dark whenwe get home. the light it's self is about 4 ft away from the entire setup & the light onitself covers the area of 10 ft x 8 & we only have it set on motion only, as we driveunder the carport the nose of the vehicle sets it off for us then we have light.Hope this helps you.

I have one light at 15' and another at 25' and both work. The 25' is through 2 walls, so I am sure it is more than that. I haven't experimented beyond that.

I believe the remote is supposed to have a 75ft range under ideal conditions. In practice, ours (outside, with no walls in the way) seem to have an effective remote range of 40-50ft. The motion detection range, though, may even be better than the 25ft claimed range.

Since I use my Mr. Beams indoors to illuminate artwork, I don't know the maximum range of the remote. The customer service rep. at Mr. Beams, Maya Winfield, maya@mrbeams.com, 216-455-0192, Ext. 1, can undoubtedly provide this information.

I don't know the exact range. However, many other factors contribute to range operability i.e walls, metal, microwaves etc. I operate mine between several walls and approx.100 ft away so you should be o.k. (It is radio waves so "line if sight" is always best........

Although I haven't done a range limit check I have verified they meet my needs. Here's what I have done: Verified remote's operation to 75+ feet from outside with relay inside house. Verified operation inside house with as many closed doors between remote and relay board as possible, again to appx 75 feet. All that I purchased worked every time. All testing was done without the remote's antenna extended. I have no reason to believe they wouldn't work much farther then 75 feet.

I have an identical situation and it works very well at least 200 feet away. Hope this helps.

My range is at times as much as 50 feet. Most of the time I can have the transmitting source at one end of my home and I can venture to a different room at the opposire end before the Knivio begins to lose contact. There are instances when the range is much less. My range is reduced when the transmitting source is inside and I step outside the home. Reception is lost when the separation is as little as 10 feet. Another instance is when my bathroom's tiled walls seperate reception from transmission. Even at less than 7 feet.

the farthest i have set up from the caller was about 30 yards. i havnt tested how far out it will reach. at the distance i set it at it does need direct line of sight from the remote to the caller or the caller wont respond to the commands.

I don't know the range, our farthest unit is about 200 feet from the receiver. It does not interfere with. nor is interfered by cable television or Internet. I have found it to be a very good product.

hi. i spoke to panasonic according to them the range is about 50 feet; but from my experience it depends a lot in the surroundings, for instance some remotes can cause interference and shorten the distance.

I've had good luck with the remote up to and around 300 yards. I even had it on the other side of a small rolling hill at 200 yards and it still worked for me. All around a great call, especially for the price you can't beat it.

Sorry, my garage is attached to my house so I'm not really qualified to answer that question. I know my regular remote (in my car) works well past 70 feet. Probably double that.

It's not as far as it says. I've use it out about 25 yards or so. It must be off the ground for the remote to pick it up also. It works good for the price though.

In general, I agree with Mike about the range (25-30 feet), but I found that walls in the house can interfere and shorten that range. I really like this device and have been using it for over a year now to watch videos while exercising. No problems at about 10 feet. I don't know the frequency but haven't noticed any interference issues with cordless phones or wifi.

The effective range for this device without any obstructions should easily reach 50ft at full strength. I have personally tested it at a range of 25ft without any interruptions in movement or degradation to it's precision.

Hi Bruce, I have one about 30 feet away going through two walls and it works well. sometimes when I get near the remote I mess up the signal on that one. I have a second remote that is about 40 feet away with only one wall between and that one is rock solid and does not fad when I get near it. I also have one remote speaker one floor below and about 30 feet away and that one is also rock solid. I have not tried them outside since I use them to play audio stories to my blind wife in her bedroom and living room. If I am working in the basement, I listen there.

The HC4000 comes with an IR remote. According to the manual, the remote has range of 10m (30ft).

I have two of these and they work alright. The problem you're having is probably the distance between the unit and remote is to great.
