Sunforce LED Solar Motion Security Light Review

It doesn’t matter where you live and what kind of property you live in, security is something that is likely very important to you and your family/household. One way you can add additional security to your home is with a motion sensor light.

They help you to stay well-informed about when people and animals get far too close to your home. After all, no-one wants to be enjoying a deep sleep only to be rudely awakened by their front door or a window being broken into.

Or worse still, coming home after work or a vacation to find your home ransacked.

Introducing the Sunforce LED Solar Motion Security Light

Although outdoor motion sensor lights like the Sunforce Solar Motion Security light, won’t stop any criminal determined to break into your property, they will stop a lot of the would-be opportunist burglars who would rather not draw attention to themselves.

In the following review, we lift the lid on the Sunforce solar motion sensor security light and look at what makes it a worthy investment.

Sunforce Products Inc. is a Montreal-based company that has been in business since 2003, with retail partners and offices throughout the world.

They are considered to be one of the world’s leaders in renewable energy products aimed at consumers. Products like this LED solar motion light. What makes this stand out? Let’s take a closer look at its main features.

Dimensions: 11 x 8 x 9-inches

Light Type: LED

Brightness: 1200-lumens

Watts: 100

Amorphous Solar Panel

The SunForce 180 LED Triple-Head is powered by a high-quality amorphous solar panel.

This means the light will charge up through the day so that it’s ready to work when darkness falls.

Unlike many other solar panel-powered lighting fixtures, this has been designed to collect enough power from the sun whether the panel is in direct contact with its rays or not.

As the solar panel is a separate component to the light itself, connected by 15-feet of wiring, it means you can position it in the best place to benefit from the sun the most.

It doesn’t need to be next to the light, ruining the aesthetics or making it less inconspicuous.

Powerful Detection Distance and Angle

Thanks to its triple-headed design with adjustable side lamps that can be tilted horizontally, downwards and forwards, this light can provide just the right amount of illumination where you need and want it most.

The motion sensor can pick up signs of movement as far as 30-feet away from the fixture with a full detection range of 180-degrees.

When you factor in that this has mounting hardware, which does not include any wiring of any sort, that will work in just about any location and any position, it’s easy to see the real benefits of this powerful security measure for your property.

Robust and Weatherproof

SunForce have a reputation for making high-quality items and this is no different, It is made from robust materials and is sealed tightly and securely so it is weatherproof. This means it will perform just as well when the weather is wet and miserable as it when it’s lovely, dry and warm.

The Downsides

Now, there is no such thing as a perfect and this SunForce solar motion security light is certainly not one.

So, there are definite downsides to it. One thing that may bother some people, and this is more of a personal preference than anything else, is that the motion sensor can take some trial and error to adjust it properly.

The detection length and brightness of the light can both be adjusted and getting the best setting takes some practice.

Further to that, the light when at its brightest level maybe a little too bright for some people. Especially if you are intending on using it as a security light to the front of your property.

The last thing you want to do is to distract or blind someone as they drive along your driveway or park up outside. There have also been some issues with the motion sensor being a little temperamental.

However, this could just be teething problems, as there is usually a way to adjust it.

Our Verdict

So, what’s our final verdict? Well, if you are looking for an affordable, effective and reliable security light with motion detection technology, you could do a lot worse than the SunForce 180 LED Triple-Head Motion Sensor Security Light.

It does exactly what the company says it will, is well designed, waterproof and takes less than 30 minutes (on average) to set up. If you are looking for a great way to enhance the security your property already has, we don’t think you will be disappointed with this light. Even its minor setbacks aren’t enough to outweigh the positives.
