MEIKEE Security Lights with Motion Sensor 25W PIR Light

Very quick delivery,was worried at first about size of light but once put in place it hides in well,very easy to set up,was always used to having adjust tiny dials to set time and sensor.At last somebody has made it so easy with push buttons for setting up 10/10.Have ordered more,not only for myself but family aswell.
Would recommend this light to anybody.

I now have 4 of these fitted around my home with no issues, and they do an excellent job. Like any light with a motion sensor, you need to play around with the motion detector to trigger the lights at whatever distance you want them to detect motion, but that is very easy to do. A good choice of time settings and very good value for money.

Has a nice bright light for one side of our wide narrower garden. Only reason not 5 star is it could be better at picking up. Just not quite there. Otherwise ok if it lasts, because these energy bulbs don’t seem to last too long. We have bought loads of indoor bulbs and outer and they do not last these thousands of hours promised.

I fitted it four days ago and it works fine and gives a good daylight white without being too bright, it’s too early to give an opinion regarding its sustainability, ask me next yea

This was to replace an existing LED light which lasted less than 2 years and was sent back to my supplier for a refund as the guarantee was 3 years. In comparison, this light is significantly brighter which I would expect (this is 15W compared to the one I replaced 10W). Compared to my previous one, this led has better weather shielding to the elements, there is little chance of water getting inside the light fitting. It was particularly easy to mount and had a nice long lead, not too long but adequate length. It literally took me several minutes to fit. Also it just has 2 settings for the light (dusk setting so comes one at night when movement is detected and day light setting, well this comes on during the day when movement is detected). There are 3 settings for the length of time the light is on, 10 seconds (for initial testing), 45 seconds (which is what mine is set to) and several minutes for the 3rd setting. Less options mean less time faffing about. For me it works, its bright and seems good value for money.

Was impressed at first sight of product, pleased that it was not too bulky and looked well designed and compact and that bolts retaining the light to bracket looked like stainless steel. The security lamp was purchased to replace a previous light on the outside of a garden shed. I noted that previous reviewers said that the cable attached to the sealed unit was too short but I did not find this a problem as I only needed to attach it to a cable that was already in place from the previous light fitting and connected it inside the shed using a terminal block but will probably replace this with a fused spur switch at a later date.
After initially trying to install it outside on a freezing cold day with very numb and frozen fingers, the light switched on as expected when first connected to the supply but the PIR kept failing and it looked like it was working intermittently. I was planning to return it to supplier as faulty but decided to disconnect it and set it up in my garage connected to a 3 pin plug and it worked perfectly. When I was disconnecting the unit I had noticed previously that the screw in the terminal block left an impression on the live cable covering and this had resulted in a poor connection. The reason for this was that cable ends covered in solder are way too short and could do with being a couple of mm longer to ensure that it gives a positive connection. I gave the product only 4 stars for this reason and in hindsight I would recommend any new purchasers to initially try the light out indoors connected to a 3 pin plug and after stripping back a few more mm of the cable covering to make sure you have a good positive connection to make sure it works. Otherwise I am very pleased with the final fitting and now working perfectly and would recommend this product.

The light arrived promptly and boxed exactly as shown in another reviewers pictures. Firstly with LED its hard to get your mind around 10W giving you the same lux as a 60W. Personally i would say this lights more like an 80-100 watt bulb when standing under it. I had a 500 halogen before so its like chalk and cheese but the idea is to light the dark path and door outside at night so i can find keys and get into the house and this it does well for 10W. Save money on electricity and blinding ur neighbours too. It is smaller than you might think from the pictures. The back plate at the point of ingress of the cables has four chromed screws and compresses a seal against the body to maintain a water tight fit..the cable is sealed by a compression ring. I was hoping the cables inside would be terminated by screw fastenings so i could remove the cable fitted. I wanted..for ease..to use the existing cable to the old light. This had terminated in the old light in a cheese block and took seconds to unscrew after 20 years up on the wall. Unfortunately the new light has crimps sealed with poly caps. The only way would have been to cut wires which i didnt want to do on a new light. 60-90cm of cable as supplied is really not enough cable. It barely gets you across the house wall cavity..that is what it does. You then have to start terminating under your floor boards. This meant ripping up bedroom carpet..taking up floor boards..a cupboard door off..searching for a termination block etc and being cramped double upside down under the floor once i had got the new units cable across the cavity which is never as simple as it should be. Can you see how just being able to fasten in the existing cable would have made fitting so much easier.
The bracket supplied is ample in rigidity to take the load of tge unit. However.. there is little clearance between the bracket and tge bottom of the PIR. Think for a moment? The braket is U shaped. If u have the bracket mounted to a vertical surface unless you want the light shining in ur face the light to one extent or another will need rotating to 90 degrees to point down wards.! You may wish to annoy your neighbours by lighting their garden too but i feel most of us use this light to illuminate tge area under which you have mounted it not to blind someone approaching the light. Also this angle affects the scope of detection of the sensor..more later. Anyway u want the light pointing down using a U shaped bracket and when you rotaye it down the PIR causes a foul condition with the cable if you route it through the hole kindly drilled central in the bracket base. The PIR hits it when the light is 90 deg downwards. If you mounted the bracket to a wall then drilled the wall for the cable with the bracket in situ then came to remount the light and swung it..i can imagine being annoyed. So id suggest having a cable entry into a wall above the bracket and not through the bracket as drilled. There are 3 variable potentiometers on the base of the PIR. Pointing tge light down tgey get hidden for adjustment. You have to keep tge light loose and fiddle with them until ur settings are correct before tightening the pivot bolts. 2 of the 3..outside 2 the middle one is for duration of time the light stays on…the outside 2 are both sensitivity…i think one is for daylight sensitivity but as yet im not sure . It appears one turns the light off completely..you might think the light is broken as it will not work in one condition. I find them hard to read..to see..in an awkward place..hard to get large fingers on and they rotate outside the markex zone on the moukding..please see photos supplied by other reviewers..in a photo theyvlook great..up a ladder in daylight ..pivotted against a wall its very hard to see. A nice light..works well..cheap to run..reasonable build standard..needs other parts to mount and connect succesfully. Hope this helps people???
