Solar Motion Light for Home Security | Mount Them Anywhere by for Modern Survival Blog
I just installed another outdoor solar powered motion light to augment security here on the property. LED technology advancements have made it easy to install outdoor motion lights just about anywhere. How’s that? Because they’re powered with a solar panel which charges internal batteries.
Home security is increasingly important. I don’t need to tell you that (though I just did). Outdoor motion lights are a deterrent not to be overlooked.

I took several photos of the particular solar motion light that I just installed. It’s not rocket science. They’re pretty easy to assemble and put up.
Solar Motion Light Features & Mounting
On-time & Distance Adjustment
This image shows the light’s on-time adjustment and sensitivity (distance) adjustment. It’s no different from any other motion light. You’ll notice a “Test” position. This is handy for adjusting the distance setting. The motion light will turn on for ~ 7 seconds during detection. You can walk around while looking at the light to observe the effects of adjusting the distance setting.
Solar Panel Connection
Connect the solar panel. This one comes with a long cord so you can mount the solar panel further away in a better suited position to capture the sun (if necessary). I didn’t need to, so I simply zip-tied the excess to keep it neat. Like I said earlier, it’s not rocket science 
Mounting Plate
Mounting the solar motion light is easy. There’s a plate that slides off the back of the base. The plate itself is screwed into whatever you’re mounting it to. Then the motion light base slides and snaps into that plate afterwards.
Internal Batteries
While the back mount was removed, I opened the battery compartment to see what kind of batteries are in this solar motion light. Two 3.7 volt Lithium rechargeable 18650 batteries. 1200 mAh each. Nice…
