How many feet will a single unit illuminate? I'm trying to illuminate 12' of dock railing.

I would recommend two units for 12 feet, but bear in mind, the tiny surface area of the panel makes the unit's operation time very dependent on the amount of sun exposure during the day. On a cloudy day during winter, when sunset has happened at 5p, if I arrive home at 9p, it's already pooped out! These units are not excellent substitutes for powered lighting... Just convenient for areas where power is not easily brought in.

these are a little finicky - sometimes they light and some times you have to re-trigger the button on the back to get them to hopefully light up. They do not stay lite for longer than a few hours either. They are a disappointment to me. Will not illuminate 12'

I would say that the area of illumination is only 2-3'. You would need several of these. I use them to light a peculiar step on my deck and secured them right next to the step riser. Hope this helps you. I would suggest you try a couple of them to determine how they would work for you.

I used them as outdoor lights on my storage shed and they are very bright - three of them will illuminate a patio deck which is 12 X 24 feet, nicely. They were mounted on the eaves at seven feet up off the ground.

I currently have 2 lighting up a mid size red maple. 40' or taller. It is at the end of a 200' run. Works great

Yes you can. However I agree with Ray's answer - you would need to place them every 15-20 feet if you are going for a complete illumination. On my deck I have 2 mounted 7ft high 20ft apart pointing up so the light bounced on the second floor eves. The light illuminates the 75 X 15 ft. area nicely with a soft glow.

I actually do not know because we threw the items away. However, when we tried the one unit it illuminated 1/2 of our 2 car garage pretty well at night. Sorry I cannot be more clear.

The answer is simply: not very far. If you use all The lighting units in the set and assuming there's no other significant source of light you'll need to be less than 8 to 10 feet max from the subject

I was using it to replace an existing fixture that was broken. They had 4 of the fixtures in the back yard and they were spaced strategically to light certain areas. They were using 60 watt A-19 soft white lamps, which work well. If I were lighting a driveway or walkway with these fixtures I would space them approximately 12 to 15 feet apart on 12" to 18" stems.

Max illumination is 12-18" radius. More decorative lighting than functional.

I light my deck with one from 15 feet it up it goes out over 20 ft out . You think the sun was still up . it a flood light not a spot

I believe for your application would be too bright if lantern was say hanging at eye level if you had it lower than your eyes and made a thin "shade" on 1/2 of the lantern ( I used the back of a note pad ) so light would only come out of the unshielded side instead of 360' might work and say on a bench or table behind you - once your eyes get use to the red it becomes fairly bright for for a single led

My lfs has a comparable model. They recommended 6-10 in. Mine are about 6" from the water, I would adjust the height to get the correct spread and then adjust the brightness accordingly. In other words the higher you hang the lights the higher you should start your intensity

The light is composed of 4 - 4 foot pieces. If connected together the fixture would, indeed, be 16 feet. However, you can use 1, 2 or 3 of the pieces as well. For my application i needed 3 pieces and used all 5 lights on the 12 foot length. I did not attempt to add more than the 5 lights provided - the manufacturer would have to answer whether that was safe or not.

Mounted this item to an outside shed, and unit provides enough light for up to at least 50'. Light output is roughly equivalent to a 75 watt incandescent lamp. Most double-headed "regular" lights have either 75 watts each (total of 150), or 150 watts each (total of 300), which is much brighter. I purchased primarily for reliability, as the cheaper incandescent models were not lasting, and the detectors were about the cost of the whole unit. This unit draws very low power and provides all the illumination I need to see where I'm going from house to shed.

I have plugged the light into a socket that is approximately 12 inches from the floor. The illumination covers from the floor to approximately the 12 inches.

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 have one set of cabinets that is 60 inches long (5Ft) and I use 4 of the 8" strips to light that area and it is more than sufficient. That would indicate that the ten strips provided would easily light your 12Ft. You get 85 inches of light strips in this kit than figure approximately 2 inches between strips with the short connectors ( order enough of these) . Unless you are performing surgical procedures this should be plenty of light on high setting. You can always order them individually from this vendor should you want to expand the lighted area. That is one of the real nice things about this system...flexibility!!

Not even close. I bought mine to try and light a flag but it only shines a few feet. We use it to illuminate a plant on the ground.
