How high can it be mounted I need it for over garage door?
1082239
I have mine mounted on the front of my garage, with the bottoms about 6-8 inches higher than the garage doors, and they work just fine. In fact, I have had earlier versions of these same lights mounted there for over 10 years, and they always work as advertised.

My husband mounted one on each side and above the garage door. They look great!

You can mount it as high as you want as long as the power connection exist.

We have 1 over our garage, mounted very high! And we have 2 mounted very high over gate (poles) for driveway entrance, we love these lights & all we but now, and even put 1 for our front door (porch) light. I say, mount it as high as you want.

Detection: Mine will detect movement at least 25' away. You can see in the photo an angled cutout on each side of the sensor; you would want to mount it so movement is within that unobstructed range.Light distribution: The bottom of the lens is clear, so light will be cast down as well as out 180 degrees.

Angela, mine are both only about four feet from the ground, but I don't think there is a height limit. My in-laws have mounted one adjacent to the top of a garage door and another next to the top of their front entrance door. Check the product specifications to see if there is a suggested maximum mounting height.

I don't think there's a practical limit on the mounting height. Mine is mounted about 11 feet above my driveway on a 2 car garage and it detects our car reliably. It also triggers the light when small animals, winds, and traffic in the street pass by, because the detection has no sensitivity adjustment. You might also read my review, which mentions the mounting adapter and how the design requires you to work from the ladder longer than I thought should be necessary, so be sure you have a stable ladder that is appropriate for the height. You can download the manual on-line if you use a search engine and look for "SL-5630-BZ-D manual" and look at the details. I don't think there's a practical limit on the mounting height.

We had ours set out at least 6 feet and it was mounted above the door. It might depend on where you mount it but it had a good range.

It works over a door very well. We mounted ours on the ceiling portion of the overhang above the front door with the bulbs facing the door. This allows the unit to turn on when we are about five feet from the door. We found this positioning worked best for us.

I drilled the holes for the top bolts at 107" and that made my rim regulation height when fully raised. I have mine mounted on the face of the garage above the doors, while others will have to mount it in the roof, depending on which side of the garage the driveway is on.

Suggest you get a qualified carpenter to check out your mounting option. I had mine installed by a contractor.

I think you would have to get different mounting hardware, or mount it on a board of door thickness and then attach the board to your wall. Ours hangs over a closet door. Sorry can't be of more help.

No, Mount it above garage door with the adhesive strips and sides then use a staple gun or small screws about five a side evenly spaced. you will roll it up or down by hand. for the price and quality its fantastic. the family loves it. I the most, takes about fifteen to twenty minutes and your using it

I mounted mine on the wall above my garage with extra 2x4s behind the wall for support using the Spalding 316 U-Turn Lift System Bracket. The system "says" it can be used for a roof mount, but I'm not sure.

It is 90 inches high, which fits over most sliding doors. You won't have any problem with this.

I have a 10 foot tall door and I had to buy the extension for my door to open all the way up, so if your door is 9 foot I would think you would have to purchase the extension too for your door to open all the way up. Standard garage doors are 8 foot.

Yes, physically possible...but I would not mount higher than what I ended up mounting it at - about 4.5'. It will be way too steep at 5'+...

I have it mounted 14 feet high I'd would say about half way 9 inches. It's worth the price foe the look. Not very high quality but look really good for the money.

The unit is mounted 12' up the garage wall and I did not climb up to look. Nonetheless, it seems to be 20" high, 6" wide, and it sits out from the wall about 8". The shaft goes through it nicely.

I have mine over a door that is almost 1 and a half inches thick. Without any room to spear. The door is a little thinner than 1 and a half inches. I hope this helps.

I have mine mounted up above my shed door; I don't think anything as small as a raccoon would set it off; and even if it did it isn't bright enough to scare them away if that is the goal. Haven't gone through a winter yet with mine, but I think it would be difficult to adjust. If you look at the picture, you'll see three re-enforcement bends where the bracket is. You could could certainly mount it on something angled though, that would be an easy fix.

I'm not sure. It is mounted on my door frame. It appears to be a rectangular placement with two screw holes an inch apart (top to bottom) and another set of two screws 1.25 inch apart. Hope that helps.

at least 2 feet above door or better 10 feet from the floor to the mounting bracket!
