Install under eaves at about 10'? Does the height make a big difference. Live in NW so I am thinking rain protection.

I don't think so it's pretty bright I have mines about 8' I think it will still work at 10' if some one walks by.

I installed mine at 9 feet and they work flawlessly. Use a little silicone arroud the seams for rain concerns.

Hi.Have had this one everywhere. Does not seem to care where you put it.As long as the sunlight can charge the battery. Have it at 4 feet now and on its side.I just move it where I need at the time. Going to get more of them I think. Sorry forgot. It has been through 2 Oklahoma rain storms.L

If you are worried about rain, then seal every opening areas. edges of the solar panel, light panel, motion sensor, on-off switch and back cover.As it is, this is not really waterproof.

This unit is waterproof. The most important issue is to be sure it is exposed to maximum sunlight to fully charge the battery. If you place it too high the motion sensor wont work.Thanks

Hello live in Louisiana which is a wet climate although not at all like the NW. No problem so far and have one of mine on a tree about 10ft up and provides good light down on my shop lock. Also the tree is full and thought it might be too shady for the solar panel on the light but it lights up every night.

10 inches should be fine.I would estimate the curve of the awning to drop approximately 3 to 3.5 inches so mounting to upper part of header keeps the front of awning well above top of door. The mounting bracket themselves are less than 6 inches vertical as I remember.

Our patio is the 12' wide too. I went with the 8x10 but wish I had gone with the bigger size. As long as you have wall space to accommodate the 12' width it won't matter what size your patio is. One thing to consider is the height you have to mount the awning. We wanted 7' clearance at it's lowest point which meant that the awning had to be mounted about 9 1/2' up on the wall. With a 10x12, this would have to be higher. Hope this helps.

Installing low on a fence could be subject to theft. I put mine up on the eaves of the roof. Range if around 20' to 25' most of the time. Battery life is good if getting full sunshine during day, would not last so long if in shade during the day. While plastic, it appears well built and moisture proof.

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.

Should be OK as long as you...Insure you have at least 8ft. min. clearance all around unit. Do not set directly on wood decking. (Use 1/2" min. thick concrete protective board under it)

You are the designer. You control the height when you install. The length of the secondary line is more than enough for you to place it higher than a very tall person. Your actual choice will obviously depend on the details of the location.

I have mine outside in an unprotected area, doesmn't sem to affect them. Might be a good idea to protect them though,m just a rain shield or something.AJ

mine went under some and got stuck on some, I have about 3 diff. types of gutters on my house and the last addition I put on the installers (I think) put spikes too low or at a downward angle to the house and it gets stuck on about every other one of them. I just gave up this year and bought leaf guards. ouch!

I have mine under my covered patio with a height of 12 feet.It works fine.Assure yourself that the patio is open to fresh air... (my walls are only six feet tall).

If it wasn't raining I would grab a tape measure but I know this. I'm 5'10" and it is a few inches taller than me so I think 6 ft is about rite

Really depends on the thickness of your cover. 10 inches is going to be tight and the skirt on the cover may scrub the fence. My cover doubled over is 8" not counting the skirt. Hope this helps.

I did install outside. Put it up under an eve to protect it from weather. I would recommend using a dome which you can buy at Amazon for less then 60$.

But-of-course, you'll have to supply the Charles De Gaulle accent locally :-)). You have almost described my installation less the 15' form dryer part. I have discovered that there is a sensitivity to gusts of wind that don't seem to be adjustable. :-(, or the wind has a better path for my installation. Not too much bother, BUT, not perfect. According to instruction I believe you have better than 25' + whatever the Ls add as leeway.

I placed mine on an enclosed porch area...It would not ever get wet due to the enclosure...If you can place without rain hitting it I think you will be fine!

A 14' ceiling would be ideal. I have mine installed on a 10' ceiling and it works well. An additional 4' of clearance should allow most vehicles to fit underneath.

I agree with CN. It's about 10.5 inches. The extra height provides for a rainfall effect, with a good flow of water pressure.
