SteinelOutdoor Wall Light L 15 S white- 180° Motion Sensor, 10 m Reach,max. 60 W, Classic Design, for Entrance and Fronts

The light is expensive but it is well worth it, looks good and does the job. I have had several security lights in the £30 bracket which have not lasted much more than a year, the sensors became faulty. This one you can alter the angle of the sensor thus reducing the area required, also the lux setting covers a greater scope and set on the highest setting you can adjust the lamp during daytime, then alter the lux accordingly. It is all plastic moulded very light in weight and will not rot or flake, very well sealed the best I have seen for design. I have only had it a few months but the price may be on the quality of the sensor I hope. ( does not come on and off when it is windy, which is a good thing, can be adjusted by lowering the sensor slightly if you get this problem).

The front door of my bungalow is along the sid so I needed a light fitting with a 180 degree PIR motion detector and this is the only one I could find. It works fine and looks good although time will tell how UV affects the white colour.The only thing to be aware of is the wiring. It is not clear but the black wire is "Live" although it is marked "Life or Phase", neutral is in the middle and there is no earth as it is polycarbonate with the third connector only being used to connect two wires from the lamp & sensor.

The light functions as you'd expect. The motion sensor is excellent, you can adjust the settings however you wish to make it suitable to your needs. You can add stick on blockers to adjust the angle. By default it's 180 degrees and can pick up motion from a fair distance away. The plastic is a nice satin finish plastic that isn't flimsy and feels like it'll last even though it's subjected to the elements.Assembling it was very easy, wiring it was a doddle and it's been working really nicely for a few months now. The only thing to note is that the light output is slightly limited and therefore not as bright as the spotlights are.

I just put one of these up and I was impressed with it. I bought this for the good sensor - 180 degrees (a must for where this one is located), long range, and you can adjust the angle. There are 2 rotary dials for the LUX and timer settings. A lot of the competition can't do all these this.Yes it's plastic, but it is not _cheap_ plastic. It's strong, looks good and should keep it's colour and not corrode. The glass has a bezel which adds a touch of quality too. The lid is held on with 2 screws from the top so time will tell if these corrode and are difficult to remove when the bulb needs changing. I guess it might be a good idea to put a spot of paint / oil / Vaseline on the screw heads to prevent this, but I didn't!Wiring is straightforward (live to the black wire, neutral to the centre connector, nothing to the top one). It doesn't have the easy clip connector blocks which would have been a bonus but it was okay.It comes with a 3 year guarantee but judging by the quality of the unit I don't think I'll need it. Cheaper ones will no doubt fail in that time. Buy cheap, buy twice...

Despite being plastic, it's very good plastic, well manufactured and fit together is superb. The design of the unit should be well sealed, there was an eco system residing in my old external light, which I humanly rehomed. UK buyers need to check their home wire colour coding, as the black on the unit is live, the blue neutral and the brown is not an earth. If unsure check with an electrician. Fitting was straight forward, although instructions are not the best, and in small print. Be careful not to overtighten the mounting screws, it is strong, but it's also plastic. I would have preferred the hood screws to mount from underneath, as changing the bulb will require elevation to see what you're doing, also for the hood, I would have preferred to screw into in-moulded nuts, for longevity. Once fitted you'd have to give it a good tap to realise it's plastic. It's lightweight in material but on the wall is very sturdy. Adjusted it works very well too, switches on with a positive click when it detects motion, easily adjusted for daylight and time settings. The directional PIR is looser than I would like, and it cannot be locked in the desired position, could do with being a bit tighter.Overall, so far very pleased, I expect long years of service from this one.

So far so good. It has been in use now for about a month and works well. We keep the indoor light switch in the on position all the time and we haven't had early illumination before it goes dark or failure to come on when it is supposed to. The motion sensor is very good - it can be angled down to only pick up motion when fairly close or angled up to pick up movement further away. If this were a camera lens it would be very wide angle as it will pick up movement several feet away at almost 180 degrees. The sensor can be fine tuned with stick on blockers but we haven't needed them. Don't expect a floodlight as wattage is limited.

This is my third lantern having purchased the first two some 5 years ago. I am pleased to report the other two still look almost new. The lanterns are made of a very high grade plastic which might be off putting to some but does not detract from the look or operation. My only criticism, and reason for four not five stars is the lid is secured by two small soft metal screws which over time do become corroded and I recently had to drill them out when the cross head just mangled whilst attempting to remove them. I’ve replaced them with a larger diameter which should be strong enough to not succumb to being removed in future. Good, but not great, German engineering

Astonishing. My two existing lights failed due to water ingress and the electrician advised me to buy Steinel, being German. I didn't even bother opening and just let the electrician install them- what a mistake! These compete with the cheapest, nastiest plastic Chinese rubbish and to add insult to injury, have no ability to be hard selected on, that is the only come on and off in response to motion detection. A major design fail. Extremely disappointed and will be trashed at the first opportunity.

Funktioniert super. Einfache Montage. Licht reicht aus

Hij doet wat ie moet doen. Geen slechte ervaringen tot nu toe.

Perfecto

Après 1 ans de recherche mon choix c'est porté sur ce modèle malgré certain commentaire négatif.Je ne suis pas déçu, facile a installé (en 5minutes pas plus), effectivement la lampe est entièrement en plastique mais elle est très bien fini et une fois posé on le remarque même pas.Le détecteur est de qualité.

Tutto perfetto. Oggetto bellissimo per L’ingresso dal giardino, come in foto. Spero solo che non scolorisca. Il prezzo forse un po’ eccessivo.
