A solar light with a backup battery, solar panels, a microwave motion sensor, built in day/night densor and a remote to control the light.
Just what I was looking for, and branded product, was it ?
Unfortunately this was a costly, embarrasing mistake, buying this product.
Pro:
1/ It stays on the whole night in a low power state, so you get a liitle light throughtout the night.
2/ The battery will charge even on cloudy days.
Cons:
1/ The cost, I got ripped a proper hole at R948.75 (including a constractors discount and vat) for 50 watt and R2064.95 for the 200 watt version.
2/ It only has an 8 meter sensing distance, which means if you mount the flood light up on the wall, it doesnt work unless you literally walk dirctly under it.
3/ The sensor, well that the part that really burns my crack, some days it works and other days it doesnt.
4/ The solar panel build quality, it looks like it was supplied from a backyard DIY manufacturer, the terminal block has like an IP 20 rating.
Would I piss R6926.69 againt the wall buying this junk (2 X 50 watt and 2 x 200 watt) every again, certianly not.
I am not impressed, I should have tested them on my property, before I supplied them to a customer
I should have known better, this is not the first time I have had problem with Mesmerize lights. that saying "once bitten twice shy". I should have learnt my lesson using this brand.
