I've got some blind spots around the house and was hoping to get buy without hard wiring.  Anyone have any experience with a particular brand they are satisfied with?  Or a brand that's a no go?  Thanks.

This isn't going to be much help (but you seem like you want replies), I searched my email and found I bought mine off ebay. The ad is no longer up #130178075720- SOLAR SECURITY Light MOTION Shed Garage Patio**NEW** I tossed it, so I don't know what brand it was (I don't remember seeing a brand).

but I got received it, then didn't use it for 6 months or so. When I went to use it, it would not take or hold a charge. Junk.

I put one up, with the same result as the poster above; it's junk.

When the battery is charged, the light is very bright and works great.  For a few hours.  Then it goes into a wierd cycle in which the light flashes on and off.

I plan to take the light down.

Never seen one that's worth a shit.

I have yet to see an all in one solar powered light that actually works well.

Actually, those all in one motion sensor lights seem to suck as well...every electrician I have talked to recommends against them and says to get a separate motion sensor.





Might just be cheaper to run some LED lights and a separate motion sensor to a $40 UPS and call it a day

That's what I'm afraid of.  Hoping for the easy way out.  It's just gonna be bitchy to get the wiring to one of the fixtures.
