Is this light a good choice for yard and patio lighting, will it be too bright? Also is it ok for use with the RAB bullet sensor?

I was looking for a soft glow from overhead lights in the front of my house. I found these way too harsh, but if you're looking for brightness, they may suit you

I think you will be good to go. It is a laser and is pretty bright. I could easily see it on my garage floor from the ceiling in broad daylight.

Yes, I placed mine in my side yard and can light up the side of my house, otherwise it is a very dark area between my house and the neighbors.

My backyard is 100 meters across from treeline to treeline . Standing at one side and shining to the other, I can easily and clearly identify objects ( or critters ) on the other. Though not a "thrower" by design the SRK flashlight by sheer volume of light output ( 2100 lumens on high ) probably can throw " useable" light out to 125 meters, all the while flooding the area in front of it with a wide spill beam. Very impressive on high but will get really hot, on low it still puts out an impressive amount of light.

Dear jenny paul - I have read the other reviewer, but to be honest - our sensor went off after 5 feet. I guess it depends on were you place the lamp, but still in all, it is bright and working great for us. Hope this helps!

The light is bright enough to illuminate a front door area. You should consider how you will be placing the light with respect to the motion sensor. I had this light at my front door but I placed it to high so the motion sensor lost its range. It worked for me but I have re-located this light to my garage.

Its quite bright on the high setting. I doubt I'll even need the high setting during daylight until the batteries start to get weak. First time I shot was full sun and on high the red dot was "bleeding out", I had to turn it dimmer to get a cleaner dot for clean aiming.Oh, right. The Red Dot scope from TruGlo I put on with the NcStar 45-degree mount has the qualities listed above. :)

The motion sensor on the light I received works surprisingly well. The range or sensitivity is adjustable, as is the "on" time and photo sensor. I have mine set to activate dusk to dawn and the motion sensitivity is turned all the way up. The slightest movement of animals or even plants turn on the light. Oh and the motion sensor has very good peripheral vision...if you can see the sensor, it can see your motion. The light is kind of glaring and harsh on the eyes if you look directly at it. But it sure lights up my 100' x 50' yard and I'm still happy with the purchase. If the price comes down, I'll buy more of these.

Not too bad if you aim it just a few feet in front of you. But that means you can't go too fast and the beam is pretty narrow. I found it's not much brighter than some 1 watt lights I have had. I replaced it with a Cygolite Metro 360. It's about $20 dollars more but it's a far, far, better light with a much wider and brighter beam, good for safely going about 18mph. Best light I have ever had. I would highly recommend it as a reasonably cost effective alternative. (There is also a Cygolight Metro 400 which is only a couple dollars more than the 360) I believe the top of the mount of the blaze will swivel if you loosen a screw but I'm not positive of that.

I think it's something in between. I use it to illuminate a flag and it gets a lot of the trees next to the flag. It seems bright to me, but I'm not lighting a sign or something that would need to be read. I'm confident it will work for your application.

It gives good area light but reading light may be past its limitations. Also the battery limitations (2 D Batteries) may not be efficient for that application, they lasted overnight outside and provided excellent light for people walking in the yard.

I use the light on unlit forest paths and is a good choice. Very bright with good illumination forward and adequate amounts of light to the side.

It's definitely bright enough for using as an under cabinet light. You can adjust the angle/direction to get the response you want.I do find it comes on with minimal movement, but that is what I want. If I didn't I'd find a way to turn it or partially cover the sensor to make it less sensitive.

I think it would make a pretty good light, bu you might need to prop it up on something to get the right angle. I have tried it and found that it is a really good light and I will be buying another!

I love this light. It is so bright it lights up my whole front yard. It stays lit from sun down to sun up. It isnt a motion detection light. Buy it you will be happy.

I would have used it for that. It's not a super bright light, just enough to see by. When I use it on the porch, it throws enough light to read by up close to it. I love mine.
