To be clear, Torchstar provided me with a Bronze 20W Dual-Head Motion Activated LED Outdoor Security Light at no cost for evaluation. If you've read my reviews, I call it as I see it...Windward Hawaii devours anything left outdoors with constant salty wind & rain. I have 6 motion-activated lights around the house. Poorly designed security lights reveal themselves quickly by triggering frequently for no apparent reason.Every motion-activated light will false-trigger. The good ones don't do it very often, the worst ones do it constantly from cheaply made sensors. In 10 days, the Torchstar light false-triggered 6 times that I know of (I don't stay-up all night to monitor it!). The false-triggers were caused by 4 torrential downpours & wind, and 2 unknowns. Unknowns are OK, if they don't happen often. It could be cats since there was no wind -- in which case it's not a false triggering. Torrential rains & wind can trigger any light I've ever installed. So far, this light offers above average sensor performance.To test sensitivity, I tried moving toward it from off to the side -- from out in the yard. Motion sensors are most sensitive at angles, and less sensitive from straight-on. After moving the sensor around to find the best position, (every situation is different), I walked towards it slowly. It came on at about 30 ft. at 45 & 60 degree angles. From straight-on, it activated at about 20 ft. I never came close to the advertised 70 ft. sensitivity, which is typical. I'm sure under ideal conditions, the distance would improve, but in the real world, cut any advertised figure in half. I have one expensive motion light in the front yard facing the street. It's sensor covers 270 degrees, and reaches 50+ ft., but it's made for commercial properties, and cost $150! Heavy rain & wind triggers it too.So far, the Torchstar light seems to be a good motion-activated, very bright LED light. It does everything expected of it -- well. The brightness of the lights is very impressive. Long periods of time in this environment will ultimately reveal if this light can withstand a tropical beating. So far, so good. I will update the review if anything changes... BTW, Costco sells a similar (but different) LED security light. They last about a year. I've had 5 fail -- avoid it.Pros* Blindingly bright, don't look at it! It lights-up my 1/3 acre open-space backyard well* Compact, this is not a big light. It's light-weight too, aiding installation* Rotating shades on each light are a nice touch* Easy light adjustment (which is not the case on some lights)* Very efficient* Cool to the touchCons* I noticed the white version has a 180 degree (half circle) sensor, the bronze 150. They're about the same price. The white model also moves the sensor farther out-front of the light, improving coverage. If you install a security light on the corner of your house, or along a wall, 180+ degree sensors are a must. Since I mounted the bronze version on a wall, it was possible to sneak-up very close to the light, but at 6 ft. it got me. 150 degree sensors have a more limited use. If the area you need covered is limited by trees, or is an alleyway or walkway, then 150 degree sensors are preferable. If mounted to cover wider areas, 150 degree lights can be thwarted by walking on the extreme sides.* Neutral colors better coordinate with a wider range of house color & surroundings. Bronze doesn't match much except a redwood tree or a log cabin! White or gray would be better, I might spray-paint mine ...

Hands down this is one of the finest products made for outdoor lighting. The options are very practical, the lighting, exceptional, and the construction beyond compare😎 bought six or seven of them to date.

Product is good. The package was really damaged and didn't work. I got a replacement and it's working and bright. If your package is damaged don't waste your time. Get a new one. I spent alot of time installing and found out the product was faulty.

The light works very well and have a good design. The intensity is OK for a house security light. It is easy to install.

This light is just what we needed. Our old light needed to be replaced and this was easy to install. It has enough light and range for our huge backyard. Great buy.

This a a great replacement for a similar light that failed to come on with motion, this was a quality choice. Installation was a breeze and the fit was perfect to replace old fixture. The initial settings need to be done before you are satisfied and it’s a bit of a challenge with the very small manual that comes with the device but after setup I am very happy with the brightness and responsiveness to motion. Looks well made also!

Spotlight is good quality. The big problem is fitting it to a wall. It needs a special junction box (presumably the one illustrated in the assembly instructions which is specifically designed for the fittings supplied with the spotlight). When ordering the spotlight the need for a junction box is not mentioned, nor is it shown in the details on the Amazon website, therefore the assumption is that it can be fitted in the same way as a normal UK spotlight. THIS IS NOT THE CASE.
