  • When you say "not sensor" - do you mean not having a PIR (ie movement sensor) or not having a day night / sensor or not having both?

    If they are not movement sensor then you aren't going to get a floodlight / spotlight to light the garden all night for you on in-built solar panels, they really won't gather enough re-charge in the day for floodlight / spotlight power output.

    I have these for example at the front of my house - despite being called flood lights they are pretty useless compared to my mains wired 50W LED floodlight in the back garden.

    Even though they only come on occasionally for movement, they don't get enough charge on winter days so I wouldn't be recommending them.

    I have a pair of these
    When dark they are always on (dim) when they detect movement they turn on brightly for around 20secs
    Appear to last all night even in winter
    I know OP didn't want sensor activated

    Thanks but no, I want to be able to either look out of window or sit outside and see sections of garden lit.
