Solar Motion Security Light

Dusk falls over your shelter. 118 LEDs flood the area in daylight brightness.

When it matters

• Home perimeter defense during grid-down: mounted on corner or side of shelter; PIR motion sensor triggers powerful LED flood when someone approaches in darkness.
• Multi-day encampment security: deters nocturnal animals and alerts occupants to foot traffic; eliminates need for manual nighttime observation or dangerous flashlight sweeps.
• Vehicle evacuation shelter: mounted on vehicle exterior or shelter frame; motion activation conserves battery while maintaining round-the-clock perimeter awareness.
• Invisible deterrent: potential intruders assume shelter is occupied and well-lit when motion activates; passive security without generator noise.

What it does

• Infrared human-body motion sensor activates lights automatically; 50+ motions per night possible before battery draw becomes concern.
• Solar panel (5.5V 0.55W) charges 2x18650 lithium battery (4400mAh total) during daylight; one full charge powers light for 4+ days of normal motion-based activation.
• Dimensions 295 x 105 x 50mm: compact enough to mount on shelter wall, fence, or vehicle without bulky footprint.
• Non-obvious: flashing or strobe mode available; used as distress signal or to confuse intruders in darkness without exhausting battery.

Built to last

Lithium battery degrades over 2-3 years of repeated charge cycles; initial 4-day runtime will drop to 2-3 days after heavy seasonal use. No user-replaceable battery, so once internal cells fail, light becomes non-functional. Solar panel output depends on sun exposure; cloud cover, shade, and winter angles reduce charging speed significantly. Expect 50% runtime reduction in northern climates or heavily shaded locations. PIR sensor can be triggered by large animals, blowing vegetation, or heat sources; not 100% selective. ABS plastic housing is durable but can crack under impact or prolonged UV exposure.

Where it fits your kit

Home 72-Hour layer. Pairs with Door Wedge Alarm to provide both motion-activated illumination and audible alert, and Rechargeable COB Headlamp for personal backup lighting when motion-sensor coverage is incomplete. Together they create 24-hour perimeter awareness and response capability.

Specs

• LED configuration: 118 SMD 2835-patch lights
• Solar panel: 5.5V 0.55W (typical daylight charging)
• Battery: 2x18650 lithium-ion 4400mAh
• Sensor type: Infrared PIR motion detection
• Operating mode: Continuous on, motion-activated, fast-flash
• Dimensions: 295 x 105 x 50mm
• Material: New ABS plastic
• Weight: 380-485g depending on installation variant
• Runtime estimate: 50+ motion activations per night; 4+ days per full charge

Field notes

• Position the solar panel to face south (Northern Hemisphere) or north (Southern Hemisphere) with minimal shade; sun exposure directly determines charging speed and long-term reliability. A partially shaded location will deliver 30-50% less runtime.
• Mount the motion sensor 5-8 feet above ground and angled slightly downward to detect human-height movement. Too high or tilted incorrectly will miss targets or trigger on branches and weather.

FAQ

Q: How bright is 118 LEDs, and how far does the light reach? Not as bright as a high-lumen flashlight, but sufficient to identify movement and navigate shelter perimeter. Brightness depends on battery charge state; dimmer as charge drops below 50%.

Q: Does it work on cloudy days? A: Yes, but charging slows dramatically. One full sunny day provides ~4 days of motion-based runtime; one cloudy day provides only 1-2 days. Plan for reduced charging in winter or persistent overcast.

Q: Can I use this indoors or under a roof? A: Solar charging requires direct sunlight, so roof-mounted or overhang-positioned panels won't charge effectively. Use this light outdoors with full sun exposure for reliable charging.
