I have a 30 foot x 60 foot garden which deer visit at night. Would this light be appropriate Would the light be turned on if the deer was30 feet away

I had poor results. IR function was erratic at best with a tendency to go on and off randomly as well as staying on. Fairly bright LED set. mine was mounted about 15' above surface, 60 foot width is pushing it for decent even illumination. so maybe I just got a lemon...maybe not. It's been shut off for months.

YES. I have 2 of these lights. One on a swing set so my grandkids can use them at night, it lights up when we leave the back door and get within 20 feet of the set. We have another on our trash can area on the side of the house, every so often, cars passing by makes it go off. You can adjust the sensitivity. And they are the brightest I have found that are solar powered.

I think this light would work perfect in that situation. I have experimented with the settings of mine and found that the motion sensor is just as sensitive in a lighted environment as in the dark. Also, the brightness is great enough to add extra illumination, even in already lit areas.

When it's working right it'll cover that much distance, maybe not excessively brightly, but it'll cover it. But the question is if it'll work. Ours worked great for a couple weeks then the on/off button broke in the "on" position so we got a light show every night whether we wanted it or not.

Absolutely NOT...it's wonderful and quiet!! It's up 30 feet and lights up a good 3 acres. My hubby loves it ;-)

If you are sitting near it, yes. We have it as the main light in our living room and I need to turn on a table lamp to have it bright enough when about 10-12 feet from the lamp. Our living room is about 16ft x 12ft.

It does work well at night but as far as a deer running by I really don't think the picture would take but the video might. I haven't had that to happen so I really can't say. I haven't used the video on my camera only the camera to take still photos.

I think it would. I placed it on top of my gardening "cage". I live in California and need to protect most of my flowers and veggies from the deer. It has done a great job of just cutting the full sun, allows some thru but all of my plants seem to get enough light. It is however, quite large!

Not for 3 or more acres, you would need several But for a smaller property fine I have three with one more coming . Because of its several light spectrums listed right on the box it works as a good security or decorative light. Easier on your eyes than others, making things look as they are clearly, but by itself its not a long distance light by itself, but considering it's only 30 watts and probably uses less. not a bad light .But of course that all depends on your needs.

Dear jenny paul - I have read the other reviewer, but to be honest - our sensor went off after 5 feet. I guess it depends on were you place the lamp, but still in all, it is bright and working great for us. Hope this helps!

It depends on the distance. At 10' the spot is about 10", at 20' about 20" and so on. It has the brightness to do it though. Hope that helps

I truly believe it will. I put ours out in the back yard and when I come from my neighbors it lights the moment I get in the yard. It's a good light and I plan on buying another one.

No only the time the light stays on, I just pointed it down a little in Test mode and walkers around the back yard to see when the light would turn on. It is a very bright light ,it covers a huge area (180 degree angle), it would go off at just about any angle if you just moved one foot in the 180 degree motion active area.

Yes, I placed mine in my side yard and can light up the side of my house, otherwise it is a very dark area between my house and the neighbors.

Im sure it is bright enough. It depends on how high it is, if it is a lower cabinet and the sensor is faceing to the back I dont think it will come on. But if it can see your feet move as you walk by it will. It does not see through cabinet doors so it would not come on unless you opened the door.

I know at 250 yards, you can see the body of a coyote or deer. I have used mine probably close to 400 yards and will light up eyes of animals, good enough for a shot with a scoped rifle.

Yes within 30 feet, works well. However n complete darkness or minimal lighting not so great.

great light - it really lights up the back yard quite well. I'd say you could easily see someone walking through your yard ~ 150-200 ft away from the light
