Shield Twin Solar PIR Light

Could be better Lamps almost cover 180 degrees but the PIR is far less than that so putting it on the side of my house to light the path only works when walking from one direction. By Richard Phipson Reply from SolarCentre:

Hi Richard, Thank you for the feedback. 

The PIR on the Shield will rotate both left and right and up and down, it sounds like you could try pointing the PIR straight down depending on the height of the lights and this would pick up movement from both directions.

Feel free to contact us and I'm sure we can work out a solution for you. 

 

bright Good bright light but not picking up 180 degree movement.Any ideas please. By Jan Reply from SolarCentre:

The motion sensor offers 120 degrees detection angle at a range of up to 10m can be rotated horizontally through 180 degrees. Well worth trying different vertical angles as this makes a real difference to what does and doesn't trigger the light.

Bright lights If they continue to function the way they started then I will give them 5 stars By Renton

Shield_Twin_Solar_PIR_Light Recent purchase of above. Upon receipt I noticed the some damage to the package. Upon opening I discovered that one of the lights was broken and was detached from the main unit. I contacted SolarCentre with photos of the damage and I was promised a replacement, which I have now received and is in perfect condition. The packaging of the replacement was far more robust than the original. The prompt replacement is to be commended. As yet I have not installed the light outside as I am in the process of moving house, tests with it indoors appear to be very good. I will be pleased to give another review when it has been installed outside the new property By GEORGE BLACKBURN

Review the Shield Twin Solar PIR Light Easy to fit good bright light, working well. By Steve Cameron

Great light The light was really easy to install and is super bright and powerful. Installed in the middle of winter at a south facing position and works brilliantly. Good length of cable from the solar panel to the light which is also helpful to find the right location. Impressed and will be looking to purchase the same again once I've used this one for a few months. Sometimes stays on in the daytime otherwise would've been 5 stars not 4.5 By David

Works well Only had it up a week or so, but in winter so glad it seems to work well now, so no worry over battery performance. Easy install and does what I needed so a good purchase By Pat flower

Good, So Far I bought one unit just after Christmas and installed it. The screws which came with the unit were inappropriate as the bracket for the solar panel has quite large holes. The screws supplied slipped through the holes. So I used my own. As others have mentioned, the unit is not as simple as it should be to locate on the backplate once the backplate is attached to the wall. My assessment of the difficulty is that as you tighten the screws in the backplate to give a firm grip on the wall, the backplate distorts slightly. In the fully firm position the unit would not locate at all. I could achieve top or bottom but not both. I loosened the backplate screws slightly and was able to achieve an acceptable location of the unit but the top clip cannot be located into the unit. It is held in place by the bottom hand tightened screw. This still gives a reasonably firm location on the base plate. The operation of the light is good, very sensitive to movement and adjustable for time and lux. This is not a cheap unit but I think we are all familiar with the ultra cheap solar units which fail over very short periods of time. I am very happy with the operation and feel that it will probably give good service over a number of years. On that basis I bought a second unit and the same comments apply as for the first one. I just cannot get the top clip to locate so I have both units located only by the bottom knurl screw. Both seem secure enough. However, this time more appropriate screws were supplied for the solar panel bracket. A real plus for these units is the separate charging panel and the ability (in my case) of locating them on a south facing wall. As I said, not cheap but my philosophy in life is always that you get what you pay for and I think these are good units which should perform properly well into the future. Also, if it were possible, it would be good if the motion sensor could be adjusted vertically as well as horizontally. My second unit is located on the back of my drive about 20 feet from the road and I do get regular false triggers as it picks up the occasional passing car. I could cut out these if there was vertical adjustment. A good unit which does the job but I have no experience of customer service as I have not had to use them. By Robert
