Evo15 Solar PIR Utility Light

I have purchased two of these lights. One to provide light for my carport and one to provide illumination for my front door.

Both perform extremely well. In cloudy and overcast conditions they tend to suffer a bit on light output, but otherwise they are as bright as a button.

I am well pleased with my purchases. By D S Shield

Wanted a basic solar powered light to attach to the outside of my garden shed which sits in splendid isolation at the bottom of a fairly long garden. Wanted one to enable me to use keys in the dark & discourage visitors. This does the job very well.It's a fairly concentrated beam but more than adequate for my purposes. It's very simple to set up. Fitted it at the beginning of November and it's working fine (Jan. 17th) having experienced wettest, snowiest winter since records began(?). I was aware of several reviews indicating non-waterproof nature but so far, that hasn't been a problem.If it is, I'll let you know. By Azineddie

his light is much, much better than expected. The beam is powerful and the switch on response is very fast. It gives a light you might expect from a mains powered item. By Poodler

It has just arrived. I ordered on the Thursday evening and it was put up on Monday evening. Good service. By the way I live in Spain! How's that for speed? And anyone who says it isn't worth the money, well: what do you expect for such a low price! By Orellanita

It has dropped two stars for a design fault - 5 m of flex with no means of shortening and nowhere to store the excess. I really think this could have been foreseen as a problem and rectified. I contacted the manufacturer about this but the response suggested that they were not really interested. 3 star rating but the product has yet to prove the test of time. By AndyDoc

This is a good value utility light it is ideal for anyone with a garage or shed that has no electricty supply,but can also be used outside as a security light. I now have two of these lights. They are simple to fit and give off an adequate amount of light. By Dave V

When I moved house I had the advantage of being able to cut though my garage and into the back garden, the only problem was that once the garage door was closed I was left in the pitch dark until I could find my way to the door at the back - this resulted in many bruises - so when I saw this light it was a godsend.

I have no electricity in the garage and am also the worlds most technically inept person but fitting this product was a doddle - I simply placed the solar panel on the roof of the garage, ran the cable in through a gap at the top of the door at the back of the garage and screwed the light onto one of the roof beams. Whole process took less than 10 mins. Now as soon as I close the big garage door the bright light comes on, in both summer and winter (which impressed me given the lack of sunshine in the winter months) and stays on long enough for me to lock garage door and make my way through to the back.

Highly recommended. By Elf Leader

This is the third PIR light and that says it all. An excellent product. The others have endured the worst of the last winter and operated faultlessly throughout. It is simple to install and does what it says it does. Just remember to charge the battery as the instructions state. Note this is not a flood light so the illuminated area is fairly small but great for lighting a path or dark corner. What would I ask for on an upgraded model? The facility to adjust the length of time the light stays on. By D. A. Hacker

The mains powered PIR light on the back of the house failed which meant going out to the bin at night or the garage required carrying a torch along with anything else. This solar light provides an adequate level of light for safe passage and saved calling out an electrician resulting in a hefty bill.

It comes with screws and rawlplugs for fixing both the light unit and solar panel into walls or woodwork. We mounted ours on the wall of the house about 3m up so that the sensor had a decent line of sight. The sensor is fixed but has a decent angle of coverage from its elevated position on the house.

I strongly advise anyone purchasing to make a paper template for use when drilling. There isn't one supplied but it is simple to do and saves a lot of messing about.

Tools needed are a no.6 masonry drill bit, a hammer drill, a hammer, phillips-head (cross head) screwdriver, a decent ladder (someone else to support the ladder for any great height).

For a tidy finish you will also need some cable clips for the solar panel wire. In total it took about an hour to install. By Mr. Michael Simms

This solar light is just the answer if you want an inexpensive means of lighting up an out of the way area and don't want to go to the time and expense of wiring up to the mains supply. I've been using this light for several months now inside my garden shed. It's lightweight and easy to assemble. A sensor detects the movement of the door opening and the light instantly comes on, hence no more fumbling around, one-handed with a torch! Whilst the light unit is obviously protected from the weather(being situated inside the shed), the solar panel hasn't been adversly affected by the recent extreme winter weather conditions. I would definately recommend this product. By Slimfox
