Will it work in an area of limited sunlight due to its solar powering system?

My motion detector sprinklers get 3-4 hours of unlimited sunlight each day and function fine. All other times they are in shade.

I have not had good luck with that. It needs to be in full-sun all day. I have also experienced issues with the fact that I have a lot of animals that come through the area and it doesn't seem to hold the charge well if it get's set off often.

Just how limited? Mine is not getting 6-7 hours of sun. Mine gets about 2-3 hours of good sunlight (b/w 11-2) and it works perfectly.

I have installed this light near the front door which receives direct sun light. I can't be sure if it will work in place where it won't get light from the sun directly.

Only if its not a well lit room..if the room has a lot of sunlight this light wont really show

I haven't tried it in full sunlight. I did try leaving it inside my car next to the windshield. Although this is not ideal, after 2 or 3 days, it did not charge much my 10,000 mah battery. It may be better for smaller battery capacities like your iPhone but not super efficient for large battery packs.

The max current in bright direct sunlight is about 1.5 amps, so it should on ideal days. I use it to charge my 20ah battery pack...takes a few days as I usually don't have it in ideal spots.

I believe it probably will. We live in SE NM and it seems to work okay. I do have it in an enclosed cool spot and shaded. Hope this helps.

Actually I'm not sure but if they don't say so then I guess not. It is a completely closed system so I'm not sure how sunlight could effect it either way. Hope that helped.

The solar charge rate is very slow. Depending on bright sunlight and several days I guess you could.

I have not tried it but I suspect that in normal sunlight you should have no problem. In low light or at night you may have an issue.

It is "Solar" powered, and the sun is the equivalent of a high wattage light bulb. If you used a florescent, LED or any bulb less than 100 WATT, it will not work very well. It will function great near a high wattage bulb or in the sun.

You can't unless you get the blessing from your local utility company. If you do,it would take a little more watts than the unit provides. Works when the sun shines only.

It could work in some instances but it's not really meant for that with porch lights and street lights. If there are no lights it might work using existing light or, if there is no moon, the IR illuminatior. I can't really say I recommend it for that though.

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

I would have to think you could as long as the solar panel gets enough sun. However, this unit worked for less than a year and I would not buy another one like this. There are better units on the market.

This unit is powerful enough to keep several batteries charged depending on the sun. You will need a good battery bank, a power inverter with enough watts to power your stereo, lights, and a power tool. The answer is yes it will work depending on your batteries, and what type of drain you put on them during off sun hours. I use mine on an RV, it keeps my two large deep cycle batteries up, and also powers a 750 watt inverter when needed.

It will work if you put it on the daylight setting, but you will probably have to wave your hand in front of it to activate it.

It would but not very well, direct sunlight is the best. If there is anything further we can assist you with please let us know.
