Over what area does this light provide light. I need solar motion sensor light that will light up 34 exterior stairs with enough light to walk safely

I can only guess that it may do the job that you are hoping it will do. I use ours at the wood pile so I can stoke the outdoor wood burning furnace and get a coverage area of about 75 ft by 50 ft. Hope this helps you make your decision!

This one was installed above company's front door. It stops working within a week though. Unless you have enough direct sun light to this solar panel, it's not going to work well.Our company's wall is high and we get sun light in the afternoon. I guess that's what the problem but when we come in 5 am it doesn't light up. I don't know it used all the charges during night time or what but not good enough for us.

This light is very bright and has a photocell and a motion detector It is a little time consuming to get the motion sensor sensitivity right and the time on adjustment right. These really are minor problems. Highly recommend. This light is not dimmable, but maybe a dimmer switch could be installed when wiring in the light.

Carolyn... This unit has a photo cell only, the Lithonia OFLR 9LN 120 MO BZ M2 LED Outdoor 3-Light Floodlight with Motion Sensor, Bronze (360° Up to 70 feet). I am not sure if you can attach a motion sensor to the model you are asking about, perhap it might be possible. I suggest you check at a local builder supply store like Lowes or Home Depot. The difference in the cost between buying the model with a motion sensor is about $30. Best of luck, hope this helps.

The solar panel that is on top of this light has to be in direct sunlight. There are other solar powered motion sensor lights that the solar panel is on a cable (wire) so you can mount the light under an eve, and the solar cell a distance away. I think Sunforce 82156 60 LED Solar Motion Light is one.

The SL-4132MW is a Dusk to Dawn motion sensing light. It senses motion from dusk to dawn which activates the light to come on. It doesn't come on in the daylight because that's not what it is made for. Mine works perfect. Any time at night when the sensor detects movement the light will come on. Very good buy and great product for the money and is simple to install.

I think this light would work perfect in that situation. I have experimented with the settings of mine and found that the motion sensor is just as sensitive in a lighted environment as in the dark. Also, the brightness is great enough to add extra illumination, even in already lit areas.

Don't know, but I can put it in perspective: Would be a good light for over any entryway or driveway, but not to light up a room or an outside deck.

I say yes in a particular environment. I have it in a hanging light fixture in the back porch and it works well... The light is bluish, like moonlight!... And it serves the purpose, which is lighting the steps. So, outdoors,but under a roof!

This Lithonia 9LN 120 MO BZ MR light has a motion sensor and a dawn to dusk photocell. The works very well, but takes a little adjusting to read as you want it. Highly recommend, nice light

Attachment to previous message.....Take a look at the solar security lights. I purchased 4 Swiftly Done (motion activated) Bright Exterior LED Solar Powered Lights. I have them in back (wooded lot) they work really well, even on cloudy days they put out bright light.

I have 2 on posts at the end of my driveway in full sun and they work great.It has 4 solar panels to produce energy from all 4 directions. Do you have your light positioned where there are obstructions blocking the sunshine?

I had motion detection lights installed on my stairs first. I was impressed with how well they worked, so proceeded buy and install the MB280 system. Since I didn't need the "hallway" lights for that purpose, I put them in the "other" bedrooms near the exit doors, where they will come on if there is need for light in a power failure. The overhead lights are now at the top of the hallway outside the bedrooms, and directly over the downstairs exit door. The motion detector lights will light the stairs during any outages as they have been all along. I am glad to have both systems installed. I had motion detection lights installed on my stairs first.

It doesn't matter, my installation was on the south side. It will get sun light as long as it's not completely covered where it's installed.

This light is about the equivalent of a 100W bulb and it will light up an area of about 40' to 50'. The detecting motion has a range of settings with the maximum being about 45' by 45'

We mounted the light about 12 feet above our front door so it could get the maximum sun exposure. I would guess that the motion activation is about 20 feet. Also note that we do like this light very much although we have only had it installed for 3 weeks. Hoping it lasts!

I have one of these on my front porch and one on my back steps. The light is brighter than I expected it to be, it is quite sufficient for lighting up the walkway when I come home in the dark.

I dont know about under stair, but I mount it right at the bright area, no shade and it works perfectly for day and night, except you have to mount the sensor above the light , give it a shot
