Description
The Eye is just 4cm thick and can be rotated 170 degrees horizontally and tilted more than 180 degrees vertically. The Eye can even be angled to provide corner lighting without the need for corner mounting. The Eye benefits from superior waterproofing both on the light unit and on our new remote digital motion sensor which also offers greater accuracy.
What is a remote motion sensor?
Many customers have asked us to make a solar security light that has a separate PIR motion sensor rather than a sensor that is attached to the light head. A remote motion sensor gives much greater freedom when choosing you detection area. The Eye comes with 30cm of cable attached to the sensor for customers that prefer to have the sensor close to the light without lots of excess cable. In the box you'll find a 1m motion sensor extension cable for those that want their sensor further way.
What is a digital motion sensor and why is it better?
Our state-of-the-art digital sensor offers greater accuracy when setting your motion sensor. Digital sensors also offer superior waterproofing because they don't use dials which are more susceptible to water ingress. The digital motion sensor on the Eye has two settings, Time and Lux. Time controls the amount of time your light stays on for each time motion is detected and Lux determines how dark it needs to get before your light will start activating.
The Time setting has a range of between 0 and 9
0 = 3 seconds, 1 = 30 seconds, 2 = 60 seconds, 3 = 90 seconds, 4 = 120 seconds, 5 = 180 seconds, 6 = 240 seconds, 7 = 360 seconds, 8 = 480 seconds and 9 = 600 seconds.
The Lux setting has a range of 1 – 4
1 = 5 Lux, 2 = 15 Lux, 3 = 35 Lux, 4 = 60 Lux
How waterproof is it?
The Eye Solar Security Light is IP56 rated. Waterproofing is rated by the IP (Ingress Protection) system which consists of the letters IP followed by two digits. The first digit after IP ranks a products protection against solid objects. The second digit after the IP rates a products ability to protect against liquids. The Eye Solar Floodlight is IP56 rated making it among the most waterproof solar lights available.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question:
This is a splendid security light - it was straightforward to fix and works brilliantly (in all senses of the word). Thoroughly recommended! By Colin Burnie on Jul 08, 2016 Helpful? 0 | 0
Question:
After having spent money on at least 4 other light fittings for this location and either not getting the promised amount of light or the light fittings failing after a day or two, i found this light and service was good delivery on time and easy to install and a good bright light even with minimum sun to charge.
Would recommend to any one looking for an LED Solar powered Security light. By Ian Bickerton on Mar 03, 2016 Helpful? 0 | 0
Question:
Quick delivery. Clear instructions. The three separate components allow great flexibility in mounting. Light powerful for solar. Very pleased with this product. By Patrick Mill on Feb 21, 2016 Helpful? 0 | 1
Question:
I was a bit skeptical when I saw this product having bought various solar powered items before and then been very disappointed with their performance but this is in a different class!! Fast delivery, good clear instructions in English and easy to install. After only a day charging in very cloudy weather the light given off was really amazing! Excellent product and perfect for the dark driveway where we park our cars. At almost half price too then it's an easy decision! Thoroughly recommended. By Rik Clear on Feb 19, 2016 Helpful? 1 | 0
Question:
Bought two of these recently. Delivered within one working day, which was brilliant. Installed the first to replace an old, much smaller unit at my mum's. She's really pleased with it as it gives out much more light than the old one (which had stood her in good stead for years).
Installed mine today & got to say I'm very pleased with it. Much brighter than the old unit I replaced. Gives good levels of light over a good distance. Very pleased.
Bought plenty of other products from Solar Centre & always been pleased. Very good delivery & back-up service too. By Ian on Feb 13, 2016 Helpful? 1 | 0
Question:
Delivered in two days, despite choosing free delivery. Picked light up from local Halfords, very convenient. Once fully charged (~ 3 days) working well. Fitted above front door to light up porch on dark winter nights. Easy to fit.and nice and bright. By Phil Williams on Feb 12, 2016 Helpful? 0 | 0

I have purchased from Solacentre in the past, this time as good as before. Fast delivery good product good price Would have given 5 stars but the light doesnt seem as bright as on previous model By Richard Chapman on Feb 04, 2016 Helpful? 0 | 0
Question:
Ordered. Easy payment process. Kept informed regards delivery. Fast delivery. Part of the product broken on arrival but quickly dealt with by Luke who dispatched a replacement part.
Other companies would do well to see how these guys deliver a service and follow suit.
Well done guys.

Question:
Second time shopping with Solacentre. Products and service have been good enough to recommend and there was interest from my neighbour. Service, delivery and support are excellent. My only small snag was with the rocker switch- research on the web about the on/off markings could not establish which mark had to be "up" for on. Some might think it obvious but I had to ask- phone support- and was given an easy solution. ( It was not obvious me and did not show up in the instructions. ) By Trevor Binnington on Jan 31, 2016 Helpful? 0 | 0
