If your local Walmart doesn't carry them, just order and have them drop-shipped to your local store.

Have you used one???
Home depot, lowes, walmart, tractor supply have em...does one work better than another????

Have used one. It did not put out a lot of light but helped us find our way around outside at night. The dog would give it a real workout when he made his nightly rounds. We no longer use it.

George,,,,you need to consider moving out of that [bleep] incubator you live in (BTR, I mean).

Hi george,

It probably wouldnt take much to do alittle google research undef best solar motion detectors or such language. Could get a good idea of what everybody's using and which are best.

If you have porch light or back light leave it on all night, and until you can decide, try to set up a different sort of accidental noise maker like cans or put out a carpet full of nails by the windows. Hell it worked on sasquatch.
Door wedge alarms that sound when doors forced open, inks and that turn the skin multiple colors due to sweat and dont wash off on inside or outside sills, window, sliding door wedge or sliding locks, simple magnetic door alarms, etc, etc

Theres more than one way to stop a thief.

Good luck and stay safe.

I'm in an old part of town....between 2--City Park and Valley park.....Have good alarm on house but they come in my driveway regularly! Don't wanna dig up yard and driveway to lay pipe and wire...Have done the google fu...just seein if anyone had any thing to say about ones that they use or had used....

Harbor Freight has a good 36 LED solar light on sale. I have one and plan to get more.

36 LED Solar Security Light

Get a free dog from the pound. Feed him. Tie him out at night. Problem solved.

Stick with a line voltage set up if you can. Solar lighting is not 100% reliable.

Have AC motion lights on driveway and front porch. May yet put them all the way around and we live in a "good" neighborhood.

I had them for years and they are real nice. It's best to keep them out of direct sunlight as the sensors will wear out. They are cheap enough that you can replace them every 3-4 years though. Mine had power from the house though.

I put up Video survelance signs..... A game cam with a bright flash mounted up above easy reach aways has a deterant effect..... I believe you have to have posted signs up inorder to be able to press any charges though..... Best of luck repelling the "youths"....

When the AC power goes out at night, you'll wish you had some of those solar powered motion lights.

Just sayin'.

anybody got output specs on solar powered units?

I'd be worried about having enough wattage to really light things up (or conversely, enough stored power to trip more than a couple times)

I've got AC powered sensors on our raptor housing that light up the side yard like a football stadium

Really depends on how much sun the panels will get. Also the ones I have had did not last much beyond a year. Better to hard wire a light, it will work when you need it.

Solar motion lights are good for hog hunting. I'm sure they'd be good for other huntin' too. Not sure about a good brand though.

UL--What brand do you have? Tired of lowlifes comin in the driveway...

Shootem--Brand... Range...

Plinker....pm sent...
You say you're gonna getta nother one....????
