Umi. by Amazon 2000lm Motion Sensor Light, Adjustable Head, Illumination for Yard, Garage, Porch, Waterproof [Energy Class E]

Used to replace a Sansi unit that failed after 18 months. Easy to fix with the mains cable going through a waterproof gland on the rear lower part of the back unit.Cable wired to the terminal block and cable secured to the cable clip, the upper body is secured to the base with 3 screws provided. Contact is made to the upper unit by pins which contact to the mains .The only issue as reported elsewhere is that their is no gasket provided between the upper and base unit. This makes it more likely to allow water in to the unit over time. I applied some silicone sealant between both and it seems to do the job.Simple adjustments for when and how long the light cones on, on the base of the sensor.Easy to fix.

Only gave the 3 stars for motion detection simply because it has a mind of its own when its windy.It worked fine for a couple of weeks until the winds picked up last week I tried altering detection range and angle but no joy so started covering sensor screen a bit at a time still no joy, eventually covering it completely so that in theory and in practice it shouldn't detect at all but no it still switched on and off. Now this is the puzzle bit when i wrapped the whole sensor housing in kitchen foil it stopped detecting completely as figured it would, I then opened the foil a little in front of the sensor screen and viola it works perfectly???????????

This may be somewhat more expensive than the most basic security lights available here, but it seems to be a superior product. The first thing to say is how easy it is to install. There is a light plastic base plate that screws to the wall, into which the mains feed is wired. The light fitting is then plugged in and secured with three screws. It's a great design. Connecting the mains feed inside also means you won't need to add a separate IP rated junction box as you do with lamps the have a fixed cable coming out.The next good surprise was just how quickly the lamps come on when someone approaches them. I have it mounted about 2½ m from the ground, half way along the passage at the side of the house, and it comes on immediately I walk through the gate at the end of the passage. The previous light didn't trigger until I had walked right past it.One minor note: when I first installed it I had left it on the factory daylight setting and the lamp came on immediately it received power as expected. I switched it to the night setting and set the time to 5 minutes, but the lamp remained on, and even after I cycled the power the lamp refused to go off, leading me to think the daylight sensor was faulty. But after about a quarter of an hour it did go off, and has worked as expected since. I think it's just necessary to be a bit patient immediately after installing it and give it time to settle down.

There is no way this is waterproof, as claimed in the description.It looks like the backplate was designed to have a rubber seal in the groove that mates with the main lamp body, but no sign of one, or any mention in the instructions. MInd you, the instructions also show a 3 wire connection (live, neutral and earth), but there is no earth connection. Given that the body is plastic and all the electronics are inside other plastic parts, that is probably not a great danger.The backplate does have two small drainage holes in the bottom, should water get in, which it will if you do nothing to prevent it.I put a bead of silicon in the groove in the backplate and vaseline on the part of the body that fits into it, so that hopefully it will come apart easily if/when I need to replace it.It is easy to install if you already have the mains feed in place. Just screw the backplate on, connect the live and neutral wires into the block provided, then the lamp body screws onto that, and pins slot into the connection block. That bit is easy!The LUX sensitivity can be Night, Dusk or Day. On a November day, dusk makes it operate as if in Day mode - always active - but Night mode seems to do what it suggests. The timer settings appear to work OK. No rotating setting, just a switch that gives you 5 seconds, 1 , 5, or 12 minutes.The two 10W LED spots are very bright and adjustable in many directions. The sensor works well and is also adjustable for direction.BIt expensive for what it is, so hope it has a reasonable life.

I found this floodlight really good. I cannot comment on the reliability now as it was installed only a few weeks back. So far it work as expected. I did not play too much with the settings. I simply set it to "Dusk" mode. What I really like about this is the light it provides. It's quite bright and you can adjust the 2 heads independently, so you can light up spaces in any kind of shape.The PIR sensor position is also widely adjustable so you can easily point it in the right direction. However, I would appreciate it if they could provide something for limiting (shield or shade) the detection area.The installation itself was also not complicated. If you are aware of the basic electrical rules and methods you can set it up on your own. The cable entry seems to be well thought out (considering the IP rating of the product) and there is space for cables inside too.I am very happy with this light so far. It does what it says, but only the coming years will tell whether it was worth the money or not.
