If mounted on a wall next to a walkway how close do you have to get before it turns on? (coming from the side)

I have been a good 5 feet from it before it turns on. It depends on how you mount it too and what angle you are approaching from.

I guess it would depend on the height of the unit. Mine are approx 2.5 feet off the ground. They go on when you are about 5 feet away from them @ that height anyways. Hope that helps.

As soon as my toe steps out from the side of my carport it turns on and it's located at the end of my walkway closest to the house. It also turns on when I pull my car into the driveway at night from several yards away.

i would say it comes on in the 25ft range. mine has been through much rain and snow(buffalo) this year and it works great.

Mine is mounted on a ceiling outlet under a porch, as long as it is plugged in it is either asleep waiting for a connection or is actively connected to your bluetooth device. If asleep, it wakes up as soon as you connect to it with your device. There is no on off switch to deal with.

If possible, the best place to mount is behind the user (and slightly offset left or right). Next best would be on a wall either to the left or right.

I have mine behind the couch lighting up the wall behind it. The receiver is hidden and I have never had a problem turning it on from across the room.

If you have 4 inch from wall (flat side) you still have a little room when corner turns

If you leave it turned on via the remote, you can then use a wall switch for on/off. We've mounted the remote beside the wall switch and sometimes just use the switch that way.

I leave mine set to the on position always. There's a motion sensor so the light stays on & will automatically go off after about 30 seconds after closing my door. Otherwise, depending on what you're using it for you could mount on wall or door & keep in off position & then manually turn on when you need it.

I gave this as a gift to someone else. I have an earlier version of this light and I use it on the side of my house in a narrow walkway. Like the other responder, it is important to angle it properly. Mine comes on when I'm within 6 feet of it. I recommend that you study the range you want it to come on and adjust it to that angle. You may have to adjust it by testing at night. It is fairly easy to adjust the angle. Good luck!

I mounted mine to the wall, but it can be used like a remote, so long as you are in range.FYI It looks just like a regular toggle switch, though the contact is not great and doesn't switch on/off everytime.

Mine is mounted about 15' high on the side of my house, centered along a 26' wall. I have a 26'x36' patio there - this light covers the entire area plus some perimeter. Remember, light, like all energy, decreases with the square of the distance; that is, move 2x out, it is 4x less. Out 3x, it is 9x less, and so on. I am able to read a paper anywhere on my patio. All this for pennies per hour!

As you face the TV the inputs are on the right. If you place the TV close to the wall, they should not be too visible.

Hi Lucille!This light only comes on when something moves near it. A motion detector. As you approach to within about five to six feet, it comes on for a few minutes and then goes off. I have them setup in strategic places where I might walk at night and as I approach, my path is lit. I have one in both hallways, the kitchen and my office. After a few years, I have one that has turned an off yellow color in the plastic front, but it doesn't effect the lighting, just the appearance. Have a great day!

Josie, the remote receives it power from the wall switch. When the switch is on, the remote is powered. When the switch is off, the remote is not powered. Therefore, the wall switch must always be in the on position. I did have a problem when I connected both the power leads in the fan/light to the remote. When I use only one of the power leads and capped the other one off, everything started working just fine. Hope this helps.Lee

You can rotate before installing, but then you will push it towards the wall to turn on the water. On the right side, you pull it towards you to run water.

It needs to be a little bit away from the wall. For me, I'm using an extension cord that the cord comes out the side and has flat profile. Then I can push it all the way to the wall.

Mine is wall mounted but I took a look at it and it appears to me that the sensor and lights should all have the needed range of motion for a successful soffit mount.
