[@TomLeeman]

You’re welcome enjoy your new security light

Thanks Tom, I just got one Thank You for this video.

[@TomLeeman]

Glad I could help

[@neoxyooj]

Thanks, I threw away the instructions and was wondering why it didn't turn on when I installed it. Had to press the button lol! Thank you!

[@TomLeeman]

You are welcome!

[@reynosa98]

Took all 28 screws apart then found Tom's video and pushed the button. Voila! it came right on, confirming that yes I am indeed a geenius

I bought twenty of these for around the outside of my home. The first night all worked. The second night sixteen worked, but by the third night only three of them worked. I think I will hold on to the three that work, but I am taking the other seventeen back to Home Depot. I wonder if the batteries in them are old from sitting in Home Depot too long. We also had a lot of rain and I wonder if they let moisture in.

[@TomLeeman]

I only put up one and it faces directly at sun it has work great the whole time we have had it much better than some others that I have bought we keep it on movement mode so its not on all the time only when it senses movement

Spot on!

Thanks so much!

I just purchase 4 of them at Home Depot in the U.S. Virgin Islands. It works well.

[@TomLeeman]

Sweet mine is still working great

@@TomLeeman I just bought 4 more of these lights from Home Depot in the U.S. Virgin Islands

[@ExtremelyClever555]

I'm watching this from the United States Virgin Islands....THE WORLD'S PARADISE!!!

[@TomLeeman]

Been there a couple of times awesome

[@michaelupsala420]

i bought these, but its constantly on right when it gets dark. So it only lasts for only like 2 hours. Is it defective? Is there a way to set it just with motion detection so it doesnt waste energy? The place where I put it is in a parking lot, however, the side street has cars, maybe the motion detection is detecting everything.

[@TomLeeman]

you can change the setting by pushing button to movement mode

[@michaelupsala420]

thanks it seems there are only 3 options: 1- motion detection with high output, 2 motion detection with low back output, and 3 off.

[@shereeceward8904]

Do I need to insert batteries

[@TomLeeman]

This has a internal battery that recharges from the sun

[@AbelMaganaAvalos]

I bought one, but the button doesn't work sometimes for some reasons. When I click it or hold it or anything, it just turns off again. I did everything right but sometimes it just doesn't work then it goes back to normal. It's confusing

[@TomLeeman]

Check to make sure you’ve got it in the right mode

[@gunsmoke8649]

How do you put a new battery in it

[@TomLeeman]

I’ve had them out there for over a year and have not replaced any batteries and they work fantastic they’re really good and bright

[@atlantarhythmsection2017]

Mine works well except once activated the back light stays on all night. Is that the way it’s designed? Thanks, Tom

[@TomLeeman]

u can set it a couple of different ways

[@terryjones8360]

Mine stays on as well. If you read the instructions. Mode "A" stays on for 40 hours. Mode B stays on for 140 hours... Who would need a motion light to stay on for more than about 10 minutes? Let alone 140 hours.

[@scenehouston]

damn, did you really let one rip at 0:21?

[@TomLeeman]

Hell ya

[@scenehouston]

Bravo, carry on

[@fornos123]

Lmao! I heard that too hahahaha

[@Godschild3121]

Lol he damn sure did 😂😂😂😩

[@simplethings474]

Too bad it didn't detect that. 😆🤣😂

[@Godschild3121]

It comes with two screws

[@TomLeeman]

yup

[@MattMendians]

Did it work for anyone out of box? Do you have to take something off the solar panel?

[@TomLeeman]

It has a small charge if you press the button it lights

[@MattMendians]

@@TomLeeman Yes I exchanged it last night. Turned out there something wrong with the first one. I tried another in store and it worked like yours. I’ll put it up today!

[@hazeyfla]

Nice fart @0.22

[@TomLeeman]

Thanks

[@janetbalzanelli1166]

We live in ga getting cold why is it not working

[@TomLeeman]

Make sure the solar panel top is clean and there’s a couple buttons on the inside that you have to engage to make sure that it’s working good luck thanks for watching

[@natashalopez1014]

I still can't get mine to work 🙄

[@TomLeeman]

Is it getting direct sunlight?

[@adolfofito97231]

It’s playing with the button to get the sensor going push it it more than a couple times mine work great at first I couldn’t get the sensor to start

[@tommypricemusic]

Mine worked great for a few nights I walked past it and it turned off and won't come back on I have 4 and it's the only one giving me problems

[@EpicureanLifeTV]

Bought 3 - 1 works great - 2 not 🤔😤

[@TomLeeman]

I know it’s hit or miss with some of these things I got some other ones that were really good and super bright and work great I’ve got a video and that you can check it out thanks for watching

[@jaylee5880]

[@TomLeeman]
