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.

Very clever design. Nice and bright at night and it looks good on the wall during the day. Its about time someone designed a security light that actually looks good. By Michael Westfield on Sep 13, 2013 Helpful? 0 | 0
Question:
Really impressed with the design of this light. I have it mounted just before the corner of my wall and turned to 45 degrees to light a corner area. My sensor is cheekily hidden away from the light and the panel and points to the only place you can get access to my garden. Agree with the other reviews that the light looks good too.
