Can the photo cell sensitivity be adjusted to still work okay if it is placed in a pen that is shaded by a full roof?

I have one and the sensor is under the overhang of the run's roof. Works great.

Inherent brightness is controlled by whether on battery or not. As to ambient light sensing: mine works well.

Jana, Thank you for your purchasing. The light also use the solar panel as a light sensor. if you put the panel indoor in daytime, the lux indoor still can make the panel works(very small current), and the circuit will think it still in day time and the led light is off. But if you cover the panel by sth. , the panel will no output, and the circuit will think it is at night and will let the light on. And since it is in winter, the sunshine is not so powerful to full charge the battery inside in many area. In summer, the working time will be longer.

If the camera directly faces the window then you might expect some glare, I avoided monting it this way. I have not had any problem even in a bright sunlit room as long as it does not face the window directly.

It has been some time since I purchased this product, but I seem to recall that 8 feet from the surface below it is recommended. I have installed similar lighting well above that height and they work well, but the sensitivity control requires adjustment for desirable operation.

There may be some light shining onto the photocell. Also make sure all your connections are secure and tight. Also check your voltage for the appropriate requirements.

I have mounted my camera inside so I dont know about weather proofing but in low light it generates low quality images.

I don't think so. The solar cell may charge without direct exposure to sunlight but it may not be enough to charge the battery completely. I have installed mine where sun does hit directly for few hours and the rest of the time it is at an angle but it still works perfectly. The light is not very bright, please keep that in mind.

Yes. As you probably know, simply adjust the flash head between 90 and 45 degrees for most any low-ceiling rooms. The light sensor is on the front of the flash body, not the head. This will allow the timing to be adjusted all the same, based on the return reading from the subject.

No, the photo cell could be pointed the wrong direction or too close to a building, other object. Could be dirty, try cleaning it off.

If your photocell isn't covered, you may have a connect in the socket. turn off the power, and pull the little tab in the bottom of the socket up a little, so it will make a tighter connection withe the photo cell. it may work...but remember to turn off the power to thelight before doing what I said.

On rad has off low med and high with in between should not have on outside wall or drafty area it is sensitive but works well

make sure it faces the southwest sky and there are no objects blocking the solar panel.also if another source of light at night is close by, it will turn the light sensor switch off.:-)JM

The only way that I know of to adjust the on and off sensitivity would be in placement of the sensor, by pointing in the direction of sunrise then they would possibly go off quicker, otherwise I have not seen any adjustments. Hope this helps.

Yes. The focus and light is adjustable. Even in low light it looks like daylight outside. Of course our camera is outside.

Yes. There are various settings including how long the brighter light will stay on. You can test the angle of the sensor to better detect what you want to trip the higher beam. Also sensitivity and distance are adjustable. The nice thing is the low beam is not so bright as to be constantly objectionable to you or neighbors.

It depends. In bright sunlight, not to well, especially if the light is shining on it
